Most played bands in September

September 2013 by jim_bomb on Grooveshark Here's the bands that I listened to the most in September and what weird mix of bands I had on. http://grooveshark.com/playlist/September+2013/91053665 1 Reinhard Voigt – In aller Freundschaft A bit of German techno always goes down well especially from the Kompact label 2 Бумбокс – Хвилюватися немає причин More Ukrainian and strangely more reggae than the tune that made the play list last month. 3 Рубль – Я хуярю на гитаре I didn't even realise I'd listened to these Russian punk rockers that much over the month, but it would appear that I had. 4 The Orwells - Mallrats It sounds a bit like 60s US Garage meets 90s Subpop, they are American, but they are far too young for any of that. 5 Inspiral Carpets - Saturn 5 Were part of the Madchester scene, but looking back they sound quite different from the rest of the set, although a lot of bands around that time copied the Hammond organ sound. 6 ESG - Six Pack Som...

Songs from the first quarter 2011 (off topic)

Here is what I have been listening to over the first 3 months of 2011 on one nice Spotify play list. On some occasions I have listened to a band for an equal amount of times in a week (Fang Island and Squarepusher) and on others the first place band wasn’t available on Spotify, for example Clorofila Azul had more plays than Cruyff in the Bedroom in that week. Here’s the play list with the links below: 1 Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla The year started off with the Icelandic nutters, although I think that most of the plays were on the morning of New Year’s Eve. 2 Deer hunter - Basement Scene Another band who are a bit off the wall. I think that the last time I listened to them on a regular basis had been when I was in Korea and had also been listening to Sigur Ros, so I think it was probably a bit of an association of ideas that led me to putting these on again. 3 Fang Island - Careful Crossers I think this band came as a recommendation on Last Fm. They are alright, but are never going to be my...
