I will be trying to explain how this place has altered my listening habits and perhaps shed a little light on the events that may have had an effect on my charts here. I guess it will be exactly one year here on Thursday. I have seen others give an overview or My review like my friend Phototropic and appreciate the insight

I have been a member of Last.fm for exactly a year now and it seems appropriate for a journal. I joined at the end of my unemployment from a grocery warehouse. I was into bulletin boards like Stonerrock.com’s and Bungle fever which is where I first heard of last fm. Eviltoastman mentioned it there and I decided to create a profile. I immediately enjoyed the ease of use and functionality. I met Ben Hayes or Hayso after scanning the Ween group and we decided to trade mixes. I started work at a metal shop in the meantime and Fakehand was a new friend I made at that time along with Phototropic who was my next-door neighbor for much of this year here.

I was introduced to a lot of great music through groups and individuals like Wim, R3000, RaF93,NHA, Pittsingerand of course my brother Tenderbranson69, Fakehand, Hayso,Phototropic, and norecess just to name a few. I grew to like styles I had little to no interest in while continuing to like rock, jazz, indie and progressive styles. I have utilized the radio and tagging for my obsessive compulsive listening behaviour. I tend to let my player on continually now. I didn’t always do this, but I like coming home to random music.and I used to be able to monitor from work on breaks and lunch. I have started 5 groups beginning with Three toed sloths and those who eat gourmet cheese. I started a group in tribute to my cousin's band Fountain of Tears and had a few turned over to me since starting them. I like the community here. I enjoy discussing music with people of different cultures and finding out about bands that users I know are in, such as the Sleepless Immigrants, Fine Cotton Affair, Dave Demuro, Zloty Dawai, Trudgernaut, Travel by Sea, Krystian Dell and Mobius.

I started recording my own sounds under the name Serpent_axed and it is really just for my own amusement, but I have always been interested in making recordings. I feel as though the last year as a member and subscriber has opened me up to new styles of music and increased my awareness of what it means to be eclectic. I appreciate everyone who has advised me in any way and appreciate all recommendations from my friends and neighbors such as:
Midlake, Jazkamer, Albert Ayler, Jason Molina, and TalkdemonicBoris, Kinski, Ruins, Big Business, Pink and Brown etc. Thanks for reading, I am going to list the top artist by week here because I occasionally view other profiles this way. I don’t have a full 52 weeks since I joined, but I will compile based on the info available.
