Look into my iTunes

Hot off the heels of my previous post, I finally got around to doing something that I keep putting off.  Now on on the sidebar to your right I’ve also included an automagically-updating list of the most recently-played tracks from iTunes (via my Last.fm feed).  I usually always listen to my music on shuffle-play, so on any given day you’re likely to see a good mix there… and there’s no hiding from any embarrassing tracks!

iTunes meme

Sometimes I just can’t resist those darn memes… ‘specially the music ones.  So here goes…

23,792 songs, 62.5 days, 93.95 GB

Sort by song title:
First: ...And Carrot Rope by Pavement
Last: Zurich is Stained by Pavement (Well, look at Pavement, holding everything together!)

Sort by time:
Shortest: Stiny, get me a danish! by Strongbad, clocking in at 0:01
Longest: Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (Unabridged) by David Sedaris, at a whopping 6:17:52

Sort by artist:
First: !!! - Intensify
Last: zZz - Lucy (cool—another somewhat symmetrical result!)

Sort by album:
First: !!! by !!! (although, I feel that’s cheating… so I’m giving a silver medal to ¡Adios Amigos! by the Ramones)
Last: Zopilote Machine by the Mountain Goats

Top 5 most played songs:
1. Do You Realize?? by Beck (Flaming Lips cover)
2. Still by Elvis Costello
3. Fiction by Belle & Sebastian
4. I’ll Be Your Mirror by Clem Snide (Velvet Underground cover)
5. Fool Says by M. Ward
(My playcounts don’t account for songs listened to prior to my iTunes database going fubar earlier this year… sob sob)

First song that plays on shuffle:
Bottom of a Well by Mike Doughty

Songs with “x” in the title:
Sex: 33
Love: 880
Death: 42
Fart: 5 (!)

Okay, I threw that last one in there for kicks.  Why do the LiveJournallers have to be so damn emo with their sex, love, and death?  Ah well… for more stats about my music than you can wave a baton at, you can always check my Last.fm profile, which I obsessively check each week for my own weekly charts (something that iTunes is unable of doing due to the way it saves playcounts).
