minervacat: (i want to be your absolute ultimate)
Add MemoryShare This Entry
i asked this of [livejournal.com profile] smashsc, but i want you all to contemplate it, too: espn, immediately post game, was reporting that last night at the fsu/duke game, the officials assessed the crowd a technical foul, for inappropriate celebration, after they rushed the court before the game was actually finished. this raises the question: if the crowd gets two technical fouls, do they have to go home? (they actually gave fsu the t, for too many players on the court, but still: the idea remains hilarious.)

and, right, carolina whomped the crap out of the wahoos and my keyboard was permanently stuck on capslock.

i didn't forget it was thursday today, people! here's a top five for you, and let's see how successful this one is, i'm not sure it will be: top five highest play count songs on itunes (or winamp, or whatever your default media player is). i don't know if other players have playcounts; but if they do, share them. top five songs. regardless of quality. TELL ME.

my list:
1. train to chicago, mike doughty. 227 plays. somehow i decided that the key to the heels winning this season was to listen to this song over and over and over again during games. it's not a very long song. um. *facepalm*

2. heart, stars. 82 plays. from a time when i thought that rereading pru's story "edges" on a regular basis was, you know, emotionally healthy.

3. more adventurous, rilo kiley. 67 plays. no excuses for this one, i just like it. i was having a phase back before i moved out of chicago.

4. a dying cubs fan's last request, steve goodman. 65 plays. for when the cubs are sucking and we need to help them through it. occasionally applied to the heels.

5. bad bad leroy brown, jim croce. 61plays. from helping the white sox to the world series last year. wow, can i just say, this list makes me look like a total sports wacko? i mean, i am, but i don't usually air my dirty little habits all over the place. um. i'm a freak. you guys knew that, right?
OKAY, WHAT ARE YOURS? what songs have you listened to over and over and over again? TELL ME.

the high here today is supposed to be 78 - it has been SO LONG, by which i mean "my entire life", since i lived somewhere where spring happened in march, and i am WILD WITH JOY at this - and i'm wearing one of my cutest spring outfits: a too-short-to-wear-on-its-own black dress with big orange flowers on it over mid-calf black yoga pants and leather flipflops. but it's been so long since i've worn anything but long pants that my ankles feel all naked. it's weirdly victorian.

but i feel super cute; today is the day i would like to run into wes miller on campus, pls.

If *any* team's crowd would get two techincal fouls, it would totally be FSU. Seriously, we did the War Chant to Keith Urban. We know no shame.

The only time I root for FSU basketball is when they play Duke. They should have two wins against Duke, but oh well. I am going to Jacksonville to catch a first round game of the tourney and I am going to try to get to Atlanta for the regionals.

I don't have my iTunes in front of me, but I already know what my Top 5 are.
1. Late, Kanye West. I just like it.

2. Gone, Kanye West feat Cam'ron and Consequence And it's all because of these lyrics.

I'm gonna open a store for aspiring MCs/Won't sell em no dreams but the inspiration is free/But if they ever switch sides like Anakin/You will sell everything including the mannequins/They got a new bitch, now you Jennifer Aniston/Don't start panicking, brother relax and stay calm/Shorties at the door cause they need more/Inspiration for their life, they souls and they songs/They say Sorry, Mr. West is gone.

3. Dimming of the Day, Bonnie Raitt. I'm not feeling particularly sad, but the song is beautiful in its lament.

4. Fantasy, Earth, Wind, and Fire. It's L.X's favorite song.

5. Who's Johnny, De Barge. Because I am a cheesy 80s/early 90s girl sometimes.

Ejecting the crowd would just be comedy gold.
  1. Bruce Springsteen, Thunder Road - This is already #1 but if the count included other versions of the song that have different titles then it would be #1 with a bullet
  2. Drive-By Truckers, Goddamn Lonely Love
  3. Drive-By Truckers, Outfit I love the Truckers so very much.
  4. Natalie Venetia Belcon & Rick Lyon - Schadenfreude - sometimes at work there are just days where I need to sing along with the line "fuck you lady, that's what stairs are for" every three minutes
  5. Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash - Good Old Mountain Dew

This is already #1 but if the count included other versions of the song that have different titles then it would be #1 with a bullet
yeah, i'm pretty sure that if i added up all the different versions of mason jennings' "california (part two)" that i have, it would be number one with a bullet - but as it is, it doesn't even come close to the doughty.

1. scared straight, the long winters. 164 plays. you wanna burn the liars, you'll set us both on fire. and oh, the horns! i like to play this when i'm about to go out, where "go out" also encompasses things like leaving my hotel room to go to a job interview.

2. little lies, fleetwood mac. 145 plays. this is all [livejournal.com profile] stumbledhere's fault, and i mean that in the best possible way. played on repeat on several occasions. another good song for pre-going-out and also one that i was obsessed with during the writing of my master's paper.

3. come down, beth amsel. 138 plays. this is a moody, smoky, angsty love song with percussion that includes a brass goblet.

4. yellow house, susan werner. 136 plays. i really like relentlessly upbeat songs with relentlessly depressing lyrics (see also: the complete works of they might be giants), and this is exhibit a. i listened to it on repeat for an entire morning back in 2003.

5. what you can never have, beth amsel. 115 plays. rice-powder cheeks and a sharpened tooth, baby i...love...you. from the same album as "come down", and in fact there are about five songs right in a row on it that are especially great, so i played them over and over and over, and the rest are scattered elsewhere in my top 25 playlist.

i love album consistency in top playcounts; you know what i mean, like your beth amsel and the fact that my top 25 is full of other songs from more adventurous, for whatever reason.

i went with the top 5 most played songs on my ipod, so no specific play counts, but:

1. a little respect // erasure (god, this is so embarrassing. but it is IMPOSSIBLE for this song to not put you in a good mood. IMPOSSIBLE. also, all of my ipod counts are skewed by the fact that we got one of those docks so we can play our ipods in the kitchen and the pm and i like to listen to this song ... a lot.)

2. rebellion (lies) // arcade fire

3. this piece of poetry is meant to do harm // the arc (which is sort of alarming when you consider this song has been on my ipod for ... two weeks? they were a rough two weeks, okay?)

4. paper doll // louis xvi (i like to listen to this song when i'm walking to the work from the train in the morning, particularly the part where i bounce on the balls of my feet on the escalator.)

5. english girls approximately // ryan adams

when i reformatted my laptop last summer, itunes ate my playcounts, or there's a very good chance that erasure would have been in my top five, as well. only mine would have been "take a chance on me".

erasure is a perfectly acceptable answer here, is what i'm saying.

I have Duke basketball thoughts but they are too blue (*snerk*) to speak of in polite company.

And I'm doing this based on my work computer, so who knows about the mp3 player or the laptop.

1. Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash (98): A close friend played this as "their song" at their wedding. Ever since I've been grabbing at Cash tunes with both hands. This one still remains my favorite by a mile.

2. Dear Abby, John Prine (82): Same wedding, but a guy on a porch at midnight in the mountains. We sat around in rocking chairs and laughed, drank good red wine and talked about our lives. It fucking rocked. One of the best weddings ever hands down.

3. Catch My Disease, Ben Lee (80): Happy, smiley, sunny music. Which I plan on blasted all afternoon in the EIGHTY DEGREE WEATHER!!! ahem

4. Screw the Okampa! (I Want To Go Home), Voltaire (23): My newest most favoritest song. To the tune of the Beach Boy's "Sloop John B" but with lyrics from SciFi. hee!

5. Pachebel Canon in D, Rockapella (22): Acapella singing of my favorite song makes me a very happy jenn. Plus, I do this neat sway/head bob that makes people laugh.

This is on my work laptop so it's what plays while I'm working in the hotel and on planes. I'm sure it would be a different list for my computer at home. I'm not listing plays, since my top 10 are all in the 100s. I also feel that I should mention I can listen to the same song on repeat for hours without hours.

1. Orbital, Halycon Taking a late flight home on a Friday, working on documentation? This song makes it feel all better,
2. Gipsy Kings, Volare It didn't add to the count here, but I listened to this song more times than I can count the last time I was in Spain, so it' snice memories now.
3. Elvis Presley, Surrender Not surprisingly, there are more than a few Elvis songs in the top 10.
4. John Hiatt, Before I Go There is such inherent hope in this song, I love it.
5. Rammstein, Du Riechst So Gut I love the video for this song, which is what hooked me in the first place.

As is only appropriate, my "most-played" songs are different on the work i-tunes vs. the home i-tunes. (i think). So, since I"m at work, I'll give you the top 5 at work, and later I'll give you the top 5 at home.

1. Catherine Wheel - All of That . 58 plays. Pretty self- explanatory. Especially on narsty workdays that require me being reminded that I'm more than this.

2.Terami Hirsch - Fire. 52 plays. I had an angsty love life for a while, as you may remember.

3. The Tear Garden - Romulus and Venus . 49 plays. But at home, In Search of My Rose probably has 50 million plays.

4.Catherine Wheel - Love Tips Up . 45 plays. For a while, it was "All Catherine Wheel, all the Time" days at work.

5.Catherine Wheel - Salt tied with Catherine Wheel - Ferment . 44 plays each. See #4.

i only have one itunes, so this whole work vs. home thing is fascinating to me; the stuff i listen to at work on my laptop is the same as the stuff i listen to as home! i am fascinated by the idea of different music suiting different environments.

Way old data, like seven months ago, because I don't really have anything dedicatedly mine to play and count:

Joy Division, "Novelty"
Garbage, "Push It" (Boom Boom Satelite Remix)
The Vines, "Ride"
Elbow, "Newborn"
Kaiser Chiefs, "Oh My God"

If I was going from recent info, I'd have to put the New Lost City Ramblers and Taj Mahal versions of "Colored Aristocracy" very high on the list.

that kaiser chiefs song is definitely - or was, i may have deleted it in my last fit of ipod cleaning - in my top ten on my ipod. for some reason, i like it so much better on headphones.

My computer has been through so much crap that my highest playcount right now is 8. But I will answer this top five anyway, because it is more fun than working.

1. Neighborhood #1 (tunnels) by the Arcade Fire.

2. Lone Wolf by the Eels. Like, I have that Eels album that came out when I was in high school, the one with the freaky people with their large eyes. And it's okay, but I kind of thought I was done with the Eels. But this song is awfully catchy.

3. The Ship Song by Heather Nova. A Nick Cave cover. OMG. That is all.

4. If You Wear That Velvet Dress. Cover of the U2 song by Jools Holland, except Bono helps out. I was mostly meh about this song when it came out, but I heart the cover. In fact, I heart covers in general.

5. Your Ghost by Kristin Hersh & Michael Stipe. Probably not a song I should listen to quite so much, all things considered. I pad through the dark and call you on the phone / push your old numbers and let your house ring / till I wake your ghost.
 
posted by [identity profile] minervacat.livejournal.com at 05:34pm on 02/03/2006
well, you know, you listening to "your ghost" over and over again is about as healthy as me listening to "heart" over and over again, and i'm still standing. so. you know. do what you want.
 
1) "Hot Burrito #1" by the Flying Burrito Brothers - 17 plays - such an awesome, awesome song. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

2) "Portland, Portland" by Loretta Lynn and Jack White - 12 plays - guh. *dies from the glory of this song*

3) "Truckin'" by Dwight Yoakam - 12 plays - Dwight covering the Grateful Dead. There is no bad here.

4) "Heart Attack" by Olivia Newton-John - 12 plays - OK, this one is sort of embarassing, but the song! is so catchy! you put it on, and you just have! to! dance!

5) "Hurt" by Johnny Cash - 11 plays - well, that's sort of depressing, but that song is too beautiful for me to care.

And for the record, I've had to work VERY hard over the last 2 months to get "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred out of my top 5, because that's too embarassing to be believed.
 
seriously, like i said to [livejournal.com profile] catechism above, depressing is not always bad - i mean, "heart" makes me weep, and yet. i keep listening to it. soemtimes that's what you need.

And for the record, I've had to work VERY hard over the last 2 months to get "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred out of my top 5, because that's too embarassing to be believed.
whatever, i've listened to "bad bad leroy brown" 60 times since october, it can't be all that bad. *grin*

itunes ate my playcounts within the last six months as well, and i don't think my ipod playcounts are on here for the most part. but. still somewhat representative.

1. The Shape I Found You In - Girlyman -37 plays. if you haven't heard this song yet, tag me and i'll send it.

2. Hey Rose - Girlyman - 13 plays. not just because it has my name in it. it's also ty singing, and it's a really good song.

3. Where Does the Good Go - Tegan & Sara - 10 plays. most of so jealous is in the high playcount list. funny that this should be highest.

4. Such Great Heights - The Postal Service - 9 plays. this is one of those "if you add all the versions i have together" types of songs. but both computer and ipod like to pull this song up on shuffle an awful lot.

5. I'm Pretty Sure I Can See Molecules - Troubled Hubble - 9 plays. i <3 troubled hubble. not only is it a good song, it's smart. i'm a sucker for smart. "...finally I'm right, finally you're wrong, finally I dance with confidence to songs..."

the rest of my list is a collection of more tegan & sara, the new pornographers, elliott smith, thea gilmore--what you'd expect. i also know most of rufus wainwright's want one album and kim richey's "gravity" used to hold top spots before the great playcount loss of '05. oh, and architecture in helsinki is making their way quickly up the list.

I generally try to listen to new albums and/or albums I haven't played in a while, so all my top playcounts are songs that I've put in mixes (because I play them obsessively while working out the tracklist and order).

22 plays:
Junior Boys, "Birthday"
The Traces, "Stars"

19 plays:
The Flaming Lips, "Do You Realize??"

18 plays:
The Dismemberment Plan, "Following Through"
I Am the World Trade Center, "Future Sightings"
Junior Boys, "Teach Me How To Fight"
Neko Case, "If You Knew"
Sufjan Stevens, "Chicago"
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, "Walking To Do"

you are much more contientious about your music than i am, as i can go months without even thinking about anything but two or three albums; sometimes i feel guilty for ignoring those other artists that i don't listen to as much as i listen to, say, doughty or the 97s or mason.

Haiti - The Arcade Fire (64)
When My Boy Walks Down The Street - The Magnetic Fields (55)
I Turn My Camera On - Spoon (47)
Retour a Vega - The Stills (41)
Long Road - Pearl Jam (39) - which I had hardly listened to for years until [livejournal.com profile] traveller reminded me about it six weeks ago.

That's only actually the last five months, because iTunes died and lost everything before that.

I think I should mention that I tend to put together a playlist of a few songs and then leave it on repeat while I'm working. I have a very high appetite for repetition, and, for work, I use song repeats to monitor the time. And, also, I've been running these play counts for several years (the counts on my iPod are much more reasonable, and I don't think any of these songs is in the top 25, actually). Because, um, some of these play counts are a little, well. High?
  1. Dave Carter & Tracey Grammer - The Mountain. [459] This is probably at least in part an accident of fate; I started using this player, and thus started these counts, just before I first saw Melina and Shalott's LotR vid set to this. It lived in every work playlist I made for about a year.

  2. Innocence Mission - Wonder of Birds. [452] Oh, look! It's another song from a vid I first saw right around the time I started using this player. This one is from Laura Shapiro's due South vid, of course, and I'm not solely responsible for all those plays, the way I am with The Mountain; Best Beloved loves this song, too.

  3. Blues Traveler - Pretty Angry (for J. Sheehan). [280] I listened to this one obsessively while my father was dying. As soon as he died, I couldn't stand to listen to it anymore. And I got it from a vid, too: Barkley's SG1 vid about Daniel's death from Jack's perspective.

  4. Citizen Cope - Appetite (for Lightin' Dynamite). [264] This is another song Best Beloved loves. I got it from a vid, too. (And, no, I don't get all my music from vids - not even a major percentage of it - but I notice I have tendency to play vid songs more obsessively than ones I find elsewhere.) It came from HypeOdermic Studios' Cowboy Bebop vid, and this is the first one where I don't love the vid as much as I love the song.

  5. Rilo Kiley - A Better Son/Daughter. [238] And here we have the first instance of a song I didn't get from a vid. Although in fact I have always seen it as Dan Rydell's theme song.
And, hmmm. I think this has given me an idea for a vid recs set.

*ponder ponder*

Although in fact I have always seen it as Dan Rydell's theme song.
oh, i had never thought of that, but you are so *totally* right. wow. excellent song, and excellent association.
 
The songs I like and play a lot are total candy and evil last one of these songs is on my Happy Mix.

1."That's Alright" - Nora O'Connor. Oh, yes, the pregnant lady opening for the Old 97s stole my heart. This cover just feels nice in my ears.

2."Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" - Big & Rich. I learned about Big & Rich listening to BBC6 radio. If that doesn't give them cool indie cred, I don't know what would. And, my mother likes to say, "this song is just about really lucky men."

3."Evil" - Interpol. "Right will take you places/Yeah, maybe to the beach." Oh, this song reminds of naughty, hedonistic summer days (which is what all summer days should be, yes?)

4."Nineteen" - Old 97's. This is the song that made me love the Old 97's. "Book of Poems" is my current favorite, but this is the song where the love began.

5.My Next Thirty Years - Tim McGraw. So Tim McGraw released one excellent album and this song, which received lots of listens when I gave to R. for his birthday last year. Songsmith Phil Vassar did a beautiful job with this one.

3."Evil
 
Oddly, I've mistyped evil into this reply twice. It must be the devil's doing. ;-)

This ... really suprised me.

1. "Kiss from a Rose," Seal. One of my favorite songs. 77 plays.
2. "Catch My Disease," Ben Lee. Very (warning: pun ahead) catchy song. 66 plays.
3. "won't u please b nice," Nellie McKay. Some of her best commentary on American society. 62 plays.
4. "Love Shack," the B-52s. Needs no explanation. 61 plays.
5. "Hotel California," the Eagles. Again, no comment needed. 59 plays.

Technically, "Tomorrow Comes Today" (Gorillaz), "The Distance" (Cake), and "Kiss the Girl" (Little Mermaid) also belong at #5 with 59 plays, but whatever. Anyway, I was really surprised because I don't get the sense that I listen to these songs more than all the others in my library. It's weird. Mind you, I always have it playing at random from the entire library, so there you are. Go fig.

P.S. Min you have the best lists. I look forward to these on Thursdays. :D

"catch my disease" is such a catchy, trippy little song. perfect spring afternoon lazy weather song, yis.

p.s. i am so glad! i like putting them together, so i'm glad you enjoy them.
 
so i'm gonna do this twice, alright? with the reformat i lost all my playcounts through my default media player (winamp) so i shall share with you the accrued playcounts since last week and then, of course, my top five tracks as listed by the audioscrobbler.


winamp (play counts from february 22nd 1006):

01. Vicious & Delicious - I Think I Could Be Happy Here; 128 plays. they're a little indie band from Montreal who don't even have an ep out yet so really, it's almost a fluke; one of my dearest canadian friends sent me this mp3 from their website and said you will love this, why aren't you already rocking out? canadian music = the best.

02. Iron & Wine and Calexico - All Tomorrow's Parties (live); 115 plays. Sam Beam and Joey Burns covering a Velvet Underground song, WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LOVE? basically one of the best covers i have ever heard in my life, okay, i don't care what anyone else says.

03. Calexico - All Systems Red; 64 plays. jesus. the only reason this is listed so low in winamp is because i tend to listen to it in foobar more often, and FOOBAR DOES NOT TRACK PLAY COUNTS. hate.

04. Bruce Springsteen - Jersey Girl; 46 plays. another cover i love more than the original! also, the bard, very important to us all.

05. Mirah - Cold Cold Water; 34 plays. it is the unofficial bsg kara/lee theme song. by all rights i should hate it, but it is absolutely lovely. like, I LOVE IT A LOT.


last.fm (play counts from february 4th 2005 covering both both winamp and foobar):

01. Mirah - Cold Cold Water; 474 plays.

02. Roseanne Cash - Seven Year Ache; 420 plays. also known as one of my two quinnestential john sheppard songs.

03. Calexico - Quattro (World Drifts In); 357 plays. aaaaand the other.

04. Calexico - Sunken Waltz; 284 plays.

05. Calexico - Black Heart; 276 plays. OR MAYBE I JUST REALLY LIKED FEAST OF WIRE. NOT THAT THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH ... ANYTHING.
 
if calexico had not been on your list at least twice, i would have wondered if a pod person had replaced you.

i'm in class, and i kind of want to die.

#1 Pop Singer's Fear of the Pollen Count - Divine Comedy: this is due to my time in Prague where I ended up listening to the same songs over and over because they were my summer songs.

#2 High and Dry - Radiohead: my chill out song

#3 We Built This City - Starship: Do I have to even have to explain?

#4 Dirty Pop - *Nsync: Excellent for those bouncy bouncy days

#5 Feel Good Inc - Gorillaz: Has come up a lot on my shuffling.

from a time when i thought that rereading pru's story "edges" on a regular basis was, you know, emotionally healthy.

*weeps*

1. joyful girl, ani difranco, 57 plays. because life and work and school is hard, but i have been happier, healthier, more joyful in the last six months than i was six months, a year, before that.

2. paint's peeling, rilo kiley, 46 plays. because frequently i just want ani to shut up about being joyful and revel in my woe about the injustice in my life and the world at large.

3. crossfire, kasey chambers, 40 plays. because frequently i am sassy.

4. hummingbird, kris delmhorst, 39 plays. *facepalm* because frequently i am sixteen.

5. help me mary, liz phair, 28 plays. because frequently i am vengeful and pissed-off about my job or moron politicians and have no means of actually fixing things the way i'd like to (which way is, um, not actually legal).

also, i hate you. I WANT SPRING SO MUCH. sandals and skirts and slutty shirts omg come ON.

kasey used to be in my top five - "water in the fuel" - but rilo kiley bumped her out. SO SAD. but an excellent choice of song by YOU. *smish*

1. are you out there, dar williams (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3K0Y7962AH5Y61IOVHBMULEX7O). 143 plays. this is my primary song for dancing around the livingroom, singing along gleefully. there's just something about the way that it sounds that makes me feel good.

2. i will follow you into the dark, death cab for cutie (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2RBVXY1SZV2IU36JMCPYPCVSSL). 94 plays. is connected very firmly to a particular story arc and two characters in an original character fic that i've been writing off and on with a friend since october. tends to get put on repeat a lot when i'm feeling sappy.

3. breathe me, sia (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0C0FCI60C3L500TW7H9TU5WYC2). 87 plays. i have no idea why i fixated on this song as firmly as i did a few months ago, but MAN was i ever fixated. i think it was the piano and drums combination....

4. this is not a love song, runrig (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=36J4EJV42A61S15FMJCTBKGCZG). 85 plays. the first time i ever heard this song, i was stoned and in bed with my exboyfriend. it's a testiment to how much i adore everything about this song that it survived our relationship, breakup, and my rebuilding myself. yeah.

5. track 29, kane (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=16LVPS19UGTWF22BFB906L9L78). 73 plays. the current fixation, oh yeah. i totally blame [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon for this one, cos it's totally her fault. i only added this song to itunes on the 19th of february, for god's sake! (not all of this is me tho, my roommate is also fixating.)

also 5. a sorta fairytale, tori amos (). 73 plays. i've got no idea how this one managed to get so high up on my list, since it's hardly my favorite song of hers, but there ya go. *shrug!*

hee! late, but:

1) As Is - Ani DiFranco
2) Fuel - er, Ani DiFranco
3) Surface of the Sun - the Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir
4) Breathe - Anna Nalick
5) Little Plastic Castle - uhm. Ani DiFranco

I have, apparently, been on rather an Ani DiFranco kick for the past year or so. Poor Hugh, crammed in there with all the girls.

i would say i don't think hugh minds being crammed in there with all the girls, but, you know, he might. *grin*

also, "little plastic castle". SO MUCH LOVE for that song. (i am also totally surprised that "drowning in the days" is not up there. i have not forgotten my promise to send you alive & wired and too far to care, either! i just ... suck. *love*)

"High", The Cure -- 306

"Naked, Drunk and Horny", Yellow Note vs. Pukka -- 296

I... am not entirely sure what that says about me and my taste in music.
