Scrobbling, Again

A few years ago I used to use Last.fm religiously, because it would always be streaming what I was listening to and recording it, and I loved looking back and seeing my different phases with obsessions with bands and finding old favorites. I also loved finding other people with similar music interests as me. It's actually an ingenious website and I'm really glad I rediscovered it. I just set the scrobbler up on my laptop, and it shows my list of top artists that I listen to since I got this laptop:

1. Arcade Fire
2. Sufjan Stevens
3. Johnny Cash
4. Radiohead
5. The Decemberists
6. Citizen Cope
7. Death Cab for Cutie
8. Broken Social Scene
9. The National
10. Portishead
11. Modest Mouse
12. The Doors
13. Grizzly Bear
14. The Antlers
15. My Morning Jacket

I only had the chance to upload half of my cd's, so this doesn't include of a lot of music that I listen to in other places because of my limited selection on my media player. I would say if this took youtube views into account, Lykke Li would be really high up there, along with Pink Floyd at the very top, if it counted record listens. So this is a very watered down version of what I've been listening to for the last few months.

Awwww I found my old last.fm!
I have the same exact music taste now. Just add a few very important discoveries.

This is my new one:
Too bad I can't just keep adding to my old one. For some reason it never let me get the scrobbler under that name ever since the first try. So I guess I'll start anew.
