[QUOTE=Miss Purl McKnittington] For a while there, I had my Celtic playlist playing while I slept, which is why they’re all from that genre. [/QUOTE] I play the Shins quite often to go to sleep. The next tier of most played songs on my computer has quite a few of their songs which are not the slightest bit familiar to me, I don’t think I’ve ever stayed awake through the entire playlist. ---

My whole list except for one song is not surprising, as it’s all **Scissor Sisters**. But apparently I have a secret shame. Because my number one most listened to isn’t a **Scissor Sisters** song at all. It’s frikken’ \*Der Kommisar \* by **After the Fire**. :smack: ---

My iTunes library mysteriously died last summer (all the mp3s were fine, I just had to make a new library), so this is what I’ve listened to most in the past year: 1. Eisley - “Plenty of Paper” (22 plays) 2. Tomás Jensen et les Faux-Monnayeurs - “A Luz de Tieta” 3. The Decemberists - “Summersong” 4. Eisley - “Marsh King’s Daughter” 5.

The Decemberists - “The Crane Wife 3” 10. Laura Veirs - “Cannon Fodder” (16 plays) I remember my old library had “Tutelary Genius” by Universal Hall Pass at the top, because _Mercury_ was one of the first albums I got after starting to use iTunes, so I listened to it a lot. ---

I just got my music back recently (old --\> new computer when old computer = broken) so this list is stupid: 1-10 are all songs from the Beirut album ‘The Flying Club Cup’ because I had the album on repeat for awhile, and all my other listening was done with iTunes shuffling 3540 songs. Soon In Rainbows from Radiohead will take over - on a Radiohead diet before the concert next week. ---
