And speaking about last.fm (in another thread), a bit late but been meaning to post
Yes, still scrobble here and last year hit 19,495 scrobbles. This was up 16% from my prior year and my best year since 2014

Sure some of this were due to listening to earlier, shorter songs/albums earlier in my annual listening series but much of it was represented a greater focus on music listening - for that I am happy
(OTOH starting out a bit slow out of the 2019 gate due to a busier work schedule )

Great year, Zeeb!

I hit 17,472 scrobbles in 2020 vs. 22,829 the year before, a drop of 24%. The pandemic took a toll on my free time as I moved my office out of downtown LA and adapted to working fully remote.

I was in a nostalgic, Moody Blues mood today and was watching videos. I was watching "Lovely to See You", but had never hear the song with the intro track. I found the video on youtube, and what a psychedelic joy it is. Yes, the first part (I think) is original to something, and the later part is new video. I don't know what, if anything, is original, but the first part is tripping visually, the second part, aurally.

No, no. It was a Verdi aria.

No, no. It was a Verdi aria.

Are we discussing Italian music or crossword puzzle compound words?
