I return triumphant with my most listened to albums of the year. Possibly the first time since 2012 that my top album in a year where The Acacia Strain released was not said album

Thought this excellent album would forever stay as a physical only oddity, but it is finally on streaming. A scatty, vicious thrillride that was way ahead of its time

Really interesting to see how #spotify and #lastfm compare my 2024 listening. One counts every day and the other skips two months of the year.

28,000 mins vs 32,400 mins is a lot of missed data!

Before my 2024 list comes up, I found out that last.fm conjures up a handsome graphic of your most played albums for each year.
Here is my 2023 top 16, apparently I was the site's top listener to Hawaii Champroo, which was only my #3 album!

My lovely wife replaced by broken record player, so I can finally listen to all the albums I have that aren’t on streaming! Merry Christmas to me

Was super cool to see a printed rock/metal magazine on the shelves of a local shop. Cool enough, in fact, that the nostalgia was more powerful than my 17 year beef with Kerrang magazine

My trips to the dodgy record store finally paid off! Never even sniffed anything from Jaapn never mind some premium jazz, and 10 quid each feels delightful

30 songs day 2 - a song with a name in it

Sublime - The Ballad of Johnny Butt

Sublime get memed a lot these days, but they're the best ska/punk/reggae/whatever band of the 90s for me!

As an addendum to this - since I began tracking what I listened to on 31/01/10, this is the song I have listened to most!

Which tracks, cos this is my favourite song of all time

Day 1: Song you've listened to the most

Bearing the Serpent's Lamb - Job for a Cowboy

My first MP3 player was only 128mb, and as a result, could hold roughly one album.

It broke one day, and could only play one song, which I preferred to hear on a loop instead of silence

4 songs away from 65,000 tracked plays. Wondering what song would mark the occasion well
