I'm trying to use this blog as my social media as it allows me a lot more control, length, and interesting stuff to be able to do rather than just posting directly into Facebook or something.
I have an illusion that I have more control over the posts than if I just hand them to Mark or the Bluesky team. I don't really use Instagram except to share memes.
Anyway, here's last week's listening - I am obsessed with Emily Armstrong's voice. I think I'll have to do a deep dive on her other songs at some point.
Looks like my listening isn't going to be close to last year's at all:
Last.fm calls a verified listen (over 50% of a track) a "scrobble" - who knows why, some kind of branding I guess. But there's no way I can do 270~290 tracks a day here. I listen to a lot of music, but not that much!
My listening trends have gone down over the years too:
2017 is explained by not having a device that could capture scrobbles while walking around. I think my main listening device from 2016 - 2017 was a PSP believe it or not. Gone are the days of pirated recordings of satellite radio broadcasts! Now I just get those same shows in Spotify.
