I note that this chart skews towards artists who have albums I play when I sleep, since that means they will play 20 or so times a night as I slumber. I wish they'd update their weekly charts.

Death Cab for Cutie
They Might Be Giants
The Decemberists
Pinback

The Postal Service
The Get Up Kids
Dashboard Confessional
Matthew Sweet
Elliott Smith
XTC
The New Pornographers
Si*Sé
Moxy Früvous
The Strokes
Mates of State
Kings of Convenience
I guess I should start listening to more when I sleep, I used to do that, not sure why I stopped. I mostly have my music running at work, and of course, my last.fm syncs with my iPod too.
courtney [email] said at 3:52 PM 02-08-2006: yeah it does... it's an option in the last.fm plugin: "enable iPod submissions". iTunes also adds what played on the iPod to the "recently played" smart playlist.
brandon [email] said at 6:40 PM 02-08-2006: Fuck yeah. I'm doing this right now. I totally missed that. I guess it's submitted as a podcast? I wonder how they're keeping the licensing straight on all this? If you can afford it, pay in, it's like 3 bucks a month for all the features.

This is my "of all-time favourite" list since I haven't really listened to music on my computer in the last 2 weeks. There's nothing terribly surprising here but most of these are artists I've been listening to for years and haven't grown tired of.
amanda [email] said at 6:40 PM 02-08-2006: Thank you. Albini is my ultimate rock n' roll hero. You should check out the forums for his recording studio if you haven't already done so. It's my favourite non-Killoggs place to hang out.

That really doesn't seem right at all, either.
I don't even know who "User" or "Feist" are. I did leave Canadian indie or Canadian power-pop on overnight last weekend. Which probably explains most of this chart.
Max offline said at 6:20 PM 02-08-2006: Feist rules. She's the girl from Broken Social Scene, and now she's doing solo stuff. Definitely worth checking out.
brandon [email] said at 6:36 PM 02-08-2006: Yeah, I know. Look, truth be told. This chart is very much indicative of my last-fm listening habits. I admit it, I listened to all that Canadian power pop, indie pop, and more. I loved it. I love The Unicorns. I cried when they split. I wish I could turn Neko Case's voice into syrup and put it on my grits. Emily Haines affects my danger area. I've been listening to Feist for a while. I pressed the hrt button. I knew what I was doing when I did it. I knew what the consequences were.

reggie [email] said at 4:52 PM 02-09-2006: That makes three of us. Well that's not true, I believe Josh or Kara linked me this some time ago but it seemed so alien then and just as alien now.
josh [email] said at 5:00 PM 02-09-2006: i'm suprised your work isn't using this to market to kids.
its a site that keeps track of what you listen to, via a plugin in any and all of your computer players, as well as your ipod... it then makes charts of what you listen to.
and recommends you stuff based on your listening habits.
and creates a personal radio station where it plays a mix of stuff you like and stuff it thinks you will like.
and there is a killoggs group, where it claculates charts based on all the members of killoggs.

joe [email] said at 3:01 PM 02-09-2006: That's the thing, I don't even know what they sound like! was I high when listening of BTS was going on? Who fuckin' knows.
amanda [email] said at 4:21 PM 02-09-2006: Yes! I really want to do a cover of "Clouds and Faces" except I lent my "Just Kidding" cassette to a boy and it was never returned to me. I need to download it from somewhere, I guess.
kevin [email] said at 4:29 PM 02-09-2006: at one point a long time ago i conned myself onto the CZ records promo list, and they sent me this awesome "just kiddng" cd ep, which had the treepeople covering carly simon's "your so vain". only they do it as a song called "flies in my coffee", if i remember it right. it rocks!

I know I didn't listen to Billy Bragg or Julie Doiron this week... at all. Unless Peter and Abi played that while they were staying over at my house, I guess?

I've never heard Trans Am, Bowery Electric, or TMGE, I'd certainly not listen to Madonna willingly, and although I like Brian Eno & David Byrne, I don't have any of their stuff in MP3. I did listen to the others this past week, but I listened to a lot of other artists a lot more.
zack [email] said at 5:57 PM 02-11-2006: Did you listen to your "friends stations" or the killoggs stream? Cause I know I was kickin some bowery electric and Byrne&Eno, and and some of those others look like the other lists on here..
ed [email] said at 7:12 PM 02-11-2006: Naw, I can't get the last.fm radio function to work. Keeps telling me I have an invalid login/pass combo - even though I can log in to the site and submit tracks I listen to on my computer with the same info.
Unless it just attributed Killoggs station music to me (as a member of the group), even if I can't listen to ANY stations.
I just submit whatever I'm playing and mine others' profiles for stuff I might like to listen to.

tyler [ url ] said at 9:03 AM 02-10-2006: why does everybody like Joy Division?
Years ago they were my little secret, but now more and more people say they like them. What happened? (Must I give Interpol credit?)
kara [email] said at 10:00 AM 02-10-2006: I heard of them because I checked out Jah Division, the Joy Division tribute band, and I just loved their single "Dub Will Tear Us Apart"
reggie [email] said at 10:26 AM 02-10-2006: Maybe it's because they were awesome? Sike I'm not gonna front and act like I'm some long-time JD listener but I first heard of them when Radiohead cited them as something they listened to a lot around the time they started working on Kid A and Amnesiac.
josh [email] said at 12:26 PM 02-10-2006: i don't like joy division but it's not like they are an unknown band... when I was younger people liked them beceause it was the band that New Order was formed from. Then people liked them because bands like Nine Inch Nails would cover their songs...
tyler said at 6:54 PM 02-11-2006: I don't know... I've just never met anyone who likes them as much as I do, so it's weird to see them on everyone's list. None of my friends really like it. We all have different tastes because we aren't clique-ish.
max [email] said at 12:06 PM 02-10-2006: Does this software freak anyone else out? It sends information about what is happening on your computer to someone else automatically. It could easily be sending other information aside from what is happening on our itunes, like websites visited or passwords. I'm sure it doesn't, but it still kinda weirds me out to be giving up my privacy to a website I know very little about. Aside from that, this service rules.
kara [email] said at 12:26 PM 02-10-2006: you're giving up privacy by surfing the internet in the first place.
You have the option of having hidden folders on last.fm, so you don't even have to let the world know if you secretly love Britney Spears.
Basically though, yes you could be freaked out, but not any more than any other program you use that accessed the internet.
I think that last.fm obviously has vast potential for marketing research, but I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily. It represents some of the demographics outside of the 5 Clear Channel radio stations
josh [email] said at 12:28 PM 02-10-2006: Windows has software at least as nerve-wracking as this built in, as do other things like AIM, google toolbar, etc.
If you have Macafee or Norton, they can block transmission of personal data by examining every packet of data your computer sends to see if personal data is included.
