I don't know what the rules are regarding this since the beta thing happened, but it used to update on sunday at 12 so this is what i've listened to "in the past 7 days" on the beta thing. Whatever
1 The Microphones 82
2 The Magnetic Field 78
3 of Montreal 49
4 The Smiths 37
5 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 35
6 My Bloody Valentine 27
7 Clipse 24
8 Radiohead 21
9 Eminem 15
10 Fugazi 14
1+3 Havn't had money to buy cds in ages so I thought I'd download these. They're both really good but Microphones is best. INDIE-INDIE-INDIE.
All the rest = usual business I guess. All good stuff.
who prefers the beta thing?
i declined that shit
free trial thing that is
At first, no
The Beta is much better now
YOU SAID I MUST BE A SUBSCRBER
COS I AM SO BETA

Wow I listend to mostly established bands this week :D
i think i listen to ALOT of music
but i seriously cannot see how it is possible to listen to that much music in one week!
I don't know how it happend either :(
I been out quite a lot but I have left the music going on sometimes when i leave the room (i turn of the stereo but forget to stop the pc)
hey ducky
what happened to album of the week this week???
In my charts?
I own the CD so it's in my cd player not the PC.
Otherwise http://www.last.fm/group/DiS+Weekly+Album+Club
^ Good excuse
are
architecture of helsinki anything like architecture in helsinki?
No
they aren't annoying crap at all! It's incredible.

Shitting crikey. Did you actually leave your house this week?
it's my iPod plays I think
I'm pretty sure maybe about 10% is from my media player.
I'm never sure how accurate it is, but it sounds about right.
an hour or two of walking a day with it on, I use it to wake me up, have it on for about an hour every day when going to sleep, etc, etc...

pink reason!
is that the abe vigoda album you listened to, what do you make of it
yeah it was.
um, slightly disappointed. not heard anything by them before and it wasn't as good as they have been described. needs more listens i think!
pink reason <3
that was kinda my reaction
to them as well, unconvinced, undecided as to whether to give them another chance, hmmm
Vivian Girls
are EVERYWHERE. The internets new love.
Tell me about it
everyone on my last.fm dashboard list thing is listening to em
they dont seem to have quite captured the DiS imagination quite yet though
i wonder how long thatll take, are all these bands too juno for DiS these days
I dunno
If the past is anything to go by we'll find out when Ellen Page gets them signed to Matador
Aw man she might get her own record label like Elijah Wood
her label would totally be better
have you been festival going of late, your absence has been felt in recent last fm threads
i think i got that sic alps ordering problem sorted, it seems like the actual thing is taking a while to arrive though, is that normal, i can never really tell with paypal purchases
I think it took about two weeks
for the sic alps to arrive. I didn't get any confirmation apart from the paypal receipt either if that helps!
Aye, went to Roskilde and Supersonic and now I have no holidays or money left. Two festivals in just over a week was a bit too much. Too many shenanigans. After all the noise/loud yesterday I was almost ready to jack it in and listen to Santana Feat exclusively :(
*don't have any
my grammar done gone down the shitter
yeah, its cool i shall wait and see
i ordered something from somewhere else which is now in its 3rd month since ordering and i dont think its been that long yet...
seems like douchebag might be trying to instigate a silent takeover of these boards along those lines, all this talk about liking his ears more than music, hmmm
was roskilde good? i dont think im gonna make it to anything this year so am assessing the possibilities for next year early in an effort not to miss the boat again
Roskilde is great!
BUT it is stupidly expensive what with our crap economy and Denmark being expensive anyway. Last time I went it didn't cost anywhere near what it did this time. On the other hand you get a plentiful supply of free water, free earplugs, free sun cream (rubbed in for you by festival workers if you want (!)) and the sound, set lengths and pretty much everything else is incredible.
Douchebag just needs to turn down his Times New Viking and stop frequency analysing stuff and all will be well.
Three months is ages! Who was that?
it was (VxPxC)
but in fairness i emailed and the guy said he'd been moving house and i got the impression it was just one of the band burning cds off his computer and putting them in handmade cases, i can see how this might be problematic if youre moving, i dunno though, i need to check when i sent that coz they still arent here, im leaving it up to his good nature a bit coz its not like it cost very much (£7 for two albums plus some fancy artwork or something) and i dont wanna seem like a bastard coz i quite like them...
that sounds cool, i shall bear that in mind, i'm half hoping i'll be in a position to go to some american festival next year, and going back to primavera would be tempting
i might just forsake good taste and go to rock am ring though \m/
I dunno like
Just hound the guy again, should be alreet. Did you hear about the bloke from the Skaters sending out catalogues with fake releases and stealing people's cash? Bit lame of him. Pretty good music though. For a thief :(
I would definitely recommend Roskilde if you have the cash for it. It's good to have the option of seeing Judas Priest, Sunburned Hand doing a film soudtrack and then Benga doing the boo boo boo boo boo boo boo, boo, boo, boo, booo song one after the other. I don't think there are that many festivals where you have that.
My friend went to Coachella and it is stupidly boiling hot. Also they flew helicopters over the campsite and told everyone to go to bed. It's controlled by the man, man.
yeah i probably should hound him
im not entirely sure what he has to gain out of not sending me the cds, and he did respond the last time, which is kinda why im hoping his good nature will shine through, also my girlfriend informs me theres a lot of postal problems in the US at the minute so i dunno...
i did not hear about the skaters thing though :(
haha, id heard tales like that of coachella, i wasnt so much thinking of that though, ive come across a few things whihc i dont remember the name of but have looked like they might be a laugh, i could always go to that atp thing at the country club in the posh bit of new york state i suppose, im not sure theyd have my sort though...
EVERYBODY POST YOUR USERNAMES PLEASE
i'm going to do something interesting and fun for y'allz tomorrow

I don't get Cancer Bats, despite
the fact I'd thought they'd appeal to me, their music felt very meh.
