Last.FM group stats! Hey, I'm just using this for people who missed the other thread -- you can join a MeCha group on Last.FM, and listen to our "group radio" whenever the MeCha radio is down. ;-)

But since we got enough members, they gave us group stats, possibly worth discussion.

Top artist: Bloc Party, followed by The Shins/Beatles/Go! Team/Radiohead/Beck.
Top songs: Shins, "So Says I", Radiohead, "Karma Police", and some Arcade Fire.

Pretty indie, not overly Radiohead-y, very little Coldplay. But the group radio, which I spent a couple hours listening to yesterday, is a lot more varied than that, because it draws from the entire recorded playlist of the membership.

There's a lot of trance/electronica, and a surprising amount of classic/roots rock, like Howlin' Wolf. (I'd blame jonmc, but he's not a member -- under that ID anyway)

I need a way to clear my stats. My scrobbler went insane and told filthy lies.

I mean, I like Banco De Gaia, but I haven't listened to them 2490 times since signing up... and I certainly didn't listen to 226 songs by U2 last week!

suuuuuure, mosch.
How could you listen to "Groove is in the Heart" 117 times??? That's about 6 hours of DeeLite! Your neighbors must hate you ;)

...And I only started listening to Bloc Party cause I saw it was a favorite of the group, and I like it.

i too am not overly radiohead-y
hope to join up sometime soon but that seems pointless as you're all doing a great job and i'd rather listen to you guys.

My ears say... This is great! Thanks so much, stilicho.

I've added a link to the left side menu.

Considering I haven't had scrobbler installed for years, the metachat top 10 is still a good indication of what I've been listening to in the last month or so.

I'm going to have to download the audioscrobbler plug-in again. I loves me some stats.

Who's been listening to the Flashing Lights? I need a YSI of that song where they chant "Flashing lights! Flashing lights!" STAT!
