Just passed 15,000 tracks scrobbled on Last.fm (15,259 to be exact) & I thought I'd put together a mix of those tracks by those artists which I seem to listen to the most.
Took my 20 Top Artists overall & then scrolled through the Top Tracks overall & grabbed the track by each top artist that had graced my ears more than their others.
Interesting. Some surprised me ... most didn't.
I'll send this off for my March'08 IMP trade.
*a note about the cover art :: I understand that the mix might be a bit boring in comparison to some girl-on-girl action, but I did what I normally do when looking for some random cover art & typed "top list" into google images. This was the first photo that came up & I decided it sort of worked with the title*
