A Year in Review…2023…the Music…

Sara

After the way 2022 ended and 2023 began as far as my music habits, I wasn’t sure what this year’s stats were going to look like. Aside from an excessive amount of plays by The Killers. That much was a given. The results were really not all that surprising—they rarely are—and it was very heavy on The Killers followed mostly by the Wicked White soundtrack. Fall Out Boy, Matchbox Twenty, and Semisonic all put out… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2023…the Music…

A Year in Review…2023…

Greetings from the Plague Lands. Two people who barely leave the house finally caught fucking Covid two days before Christmas. I cannot taste or smell anything. My whole back hurts. My voice sounds like I’ve been smoking for forty years. I am exhausted. Bob is mostly recovered with some residual symptoms. I am on the upswing, but lagging behind. As is usual when we get sick around here. I started working on this survey mid-December… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2023…

We’re heading into yet another blizzard up in here. Because Minnesota. Time to see how much I listened to the same music on repeat for another year… For the first time in a few years, the total play count dropped compared to last year. November and December saw a severe drop off in listening, which impacted things quite a bit. Based on the monthly numbers for the rest of the year, I think the total… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2022…the Music…

A Year in Review…2022…

2022 CAN BITE ME. Yes, there were good moments and happy things, but God. Fucking. Dammit. The hard things were Really. Fucking. Hard. this year. Pulling this thing together this time has been a much bigger struggle than it really should have been. It feels more pointless than previous years to be doing this mundane survey of banal questions again. But I do it for me and for some tiny shred of normalcy when so… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2022…

A Year in Review…2021…the Music…

Sara

I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect the results to look like when I generated the charts for 2021. I did spend most of my listening hours with the same songs/albums/artists on repeat, but I also spent a lot of time listening and watching outside of iTunes and Last.fm. The month of December was spent mostly playing Final Fantasy XIV and not listening to much music. (A good chunk of the time I do both… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2021…the Music…

A Year in Review…2021…

Sara

Welp. Here we are again. Another year on the books. Another year watching the world burn while people just keep hucking 55-gallon drums of fuel onto the festering inferno. I try really hard to not get lost in the abyss of misery and despair, but PEOPLE DO NOT MAKE IT EASY. I keep trying to filter down the never-ending bombardment of awful, but short of never accessing the internet or exposing myself to other people,… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2021…
