Listening Stats

This evening I had a hunt through my last.fm stats pages and found some nifty hidden features for subscribers which I have made use of in order to share some pretty cool information with you all

The following is a music clock that shows my hourly listening habits throughout the past year, aggregated. Do I really get up that early some mornings!?

Then we have the artist photo collage, the size of each photo corresponding to how frequently I’ve listened to that particular artist. Really rather cool I must say. Do you recognise them all?

Year Artists

Last but most certainly not least, a huge (and I mean huge) downloadable PDF chart of my last year’s listening, highlighted in colours and shades to show trends and listening frequency. Really quite an eye opener!

Now I know why I spend £3 per month in a last.fm subscription! Well, there are plenty of other good reasons, but this stuff is just awesome.

Halloween

I decided to get into the festive spirit this year and carved out a punpkin. Was really rather impressed with the results!

E-Mail Catch Up

I’m notoriously bad at replying to my personal e-mail. Oddly enough this is mainly due to having a BlackBerry. I read the e-mail on the phone, think “oh, I must reply to that when I get home”, and then forget about it because it’s been marked as read.

Having realised that my inbox is now well over a thousand messages, many of which probably still need looking at, I’ve decided to take action. I’ve begun to trawl through the list, archiving things that don’t need anything doing and marking as unread anything which does. I should then be able to slowly but surely clear down the backlog by reading and replying to each one.

Lets hope I’m able to stay on top of things properly from now on!
