My Last FM Top 20 (week 3)

This chart is pretty funny. Who knows what demons I exorcise in the wee hours of the morning when I can't sleep, alone with my headphones? You can probably guess which albums I purchased and which came free, unasked-for. Still. I like it. These, according to Last FM, which frankly ain't so reliable, are my 20 Most Listened to Artists, Last Week.


1 (-) Buzzcocks
Just re-purchased A Different Kind Of Tension, with a zillion extra tracks (most of which I already have). It still rocks my world.
2 (-) Irmin Schmidt
Very cool German dude, makes film music.
3 (9) The Undertones
Mostly The Sin Of Pride.
4 (-) Ray Rumours
Gently spun, wonderfully crafted vignettes of love and sorrow.
5 (-) Eilen Jewell
Really taken with this Boston country gal's second album Sea Of Tears.
6 (-) Dolores O'Riordan
Some of those demons I'm referring to.
6 (-) The Feelies
Domino-reissued albums. The missing link between Flying Nun and Galaxie 500.
8 (-) Crocodiles
Oh yeah! Got to be tracking this down more. Like the Mary Chain were, in their dreams. Or Spacemen 3 or something.
9 (-) Hope Sandoval
Not all that, but somehow...
10 (-) Rowland S. Howard
Not all that, but it's Rowland S., dude! And he loves 60s girl groups!
10 (-) Taken By Trees
Must get round to writing Victoria's new album up.
10 (-) The Times
Uh! I like Ed Ball. I like powerpop. But I don't like these record industry insider 90s albums.
10 (-) Beaches
Gorgeous washes of guitar noise.
14 (-) Choir of Young Believers
I listened to this so you don't have to. One for (spit) Radiohead fans.
14 (20) Wilmoth Houdini
16 (-) OutKast
17 (1) The Deadnotes + The Legend!
17 (1) The Pastels/Tenniscoats
19 (-) recs of the flesh
Great sodden guitar textures from Sardinia.
19 (-) Polly Scattergood
Still can't make my mind up.
19 (-) Kids Love Lies
Music for Tiggers to bounce to.
