Music and stats… My two favourite things!

last.fm best of 2013

I’m a sucker for stats. Excel plays a large part of my life. Because I’m a little geeky. Anyway, Last.fm have worked up an amazing microsite here with lots of figures on what people listened to most last year, broken down by country and type of artist.

I could spend all day on it. Heck, I might just do that. If you haven’t got Last.fm installed, you really should. It’s what got me hooked on finding new artists in the first place.

Some Swedish tracks for a sunny Saturday

The weather in London has been psycho this week. Heavy rain on Thursday, and then clear sunshine yesterday and today. I had a bit of a blitz on my Last.fm radio last night- if you don’t have a Last.fm account you really should get one. It’s like iTunes’ Ping only ten times better. I’ve discovered so many artists through it. These three seem to have been around for a while in Sweden so just thought I’d share. They’re all a bit sombre with a bit of a pick up, but that’s sort of how I feel in bed today. You’ve got some Monty, Daniel Ray-Adams, and Albin Gromer.
