First of all, I have a little bit of explaining to do.
The last post I did was about a month ago, so I have been away for quite a
while. The reason for this absence had been the start of the new scholastic
year for me. I started my Masters in translation at university and the amount
of work kind of overwhelmed me so much that I couldn’t put myself to write for
my blog. Now however, I’m settled a bit again, and I decided to start again
this weekend and what better way to start then by telling you about my
favourites of the last month(s).
Well, it’s almost the first of November and therefore
the perfect time to make a favourites list. For a while now I’ve been using the
music scrobbler from Last.fm to keep a record of the music I listen to. This
program – easy to install! – keeps track of what you listen to on your computer
– in the windows media player as well as in iTunes (you can even let it
synchronize your iPod to scrobble the songs you listened to on
there). On your online profile you then can see what artists you have listened
to the most – over the last week, the last year or overall, but also
(important!) over the last three months. This has given me the idea to, at the
start of every new month, make a list of the 10 artists I’ve listened to the
most over the previous 3 months – with a bit of extra info on the why?
These are the lists (artists and songs) of the months August,
September and October.
