Holy crap, last.fm

After thinking yesterday and for a while today about my last.fm music taste exposure, I decided to visit the site and actually spend some time there for the first time since freshman year. last.fm, formally AudioScrobbler, is basically a plug-in that you install on your computer that tracks every single audio track that you play, and uploads the information to your personal "Dashboard". Here, when you visit, you can find not only a list of what songs you've been listening to lately, but also a ridiculous amount of statistical data, providing you with your top albums, tracks and artists on a weekly, monthly, yearly, or all-time basis. For example, during the week of June 12, 2006, my top three artists were The Velvet Teen, Kaki King, and Stereolab. So it's crazy.
