Rolling last.fm thread 2009 no haters!

http://www.last.fm/bestof/2009/chart/20

when did placebo start getting popular again? They seem to be on the overs of lots of magazines recently. Have they toured with Muse and crossedover to their fans or something? It's just weird that people care about them now after years and years of noone giving a fuck, at least Muse always remained (inexplicably) popular.

youre just trying to trick dan into putting them on his festival so we can all laugh at him arent you

lol not at all , they just seem to be getting lots of press attention and made the last.fm top 20 most played act of 2009.
I think Dan knows how to top the ilxor group, he has it all worked out.

i thought results went up weds?

Predictably Feldman moves way up.

Great to see Durutti at 18 in your list.

I think Placebo support in the UK has been pretty much consistent since they first appeared. They've been solid top 10 with just about every album without ever threatening to be big. They've hit #1 in France with every album since Black Market Music almost 10 years ago. Never made a dent in the US but maybe that's changing?

The only problem with Placebo is dudes terrible voice. Not even the Various Production remix could get me to stomach that howling mess.

so, uh, last.fm no longer works on my computer. i've been trying it for the past 2 weeks. i type something in the radio box, and nothing. NOTHING

I AM GOING CRAZZZZY

PLEASE FUCKING HELP

idk about that but i am wondering whether the last.fm user "Chris_BreeZy" who just visited my page and left a comment felt uncomfortable as they scrolled down past all the rihanna plays

a 15 year old girl it says so i doubt it

who is that at no 11? I cant make it out.

Ulver

fucker. how much did john pay you to do that?

hahaha I don't think nate has witnessed what happens when John tries to post "Ulver"

haha i know.

Ah right there's a joke here that I'm not getting.

all you need to know is that dan is a bad man and tries to silence me via mod text substitution tricks

Who is Sofia Gubaidulina?

A contemporary Russian composer. She's awesome.

OKay! WHo would you compare her to?

Maybe other contemporaries like Ustvolskaya and Schnittke? She's pretty much peerless tbh. You should check out her string quartets as an intro.

Thanks Turangalila, I might just do that.

Yes, and I also love love love her Piano Quintet, which is less abstruse than the works that followed but perfectly haunting in that lovely Russian way.

oooh ilxor.com closed the gap on dan

just noticed that lcd soundsystem fans have voted an animated gif as their artist profile pic.

I hate the "musical compatibility" test, it is interesting, I love statistics, especially on music. But I hate it when I look at someone's page because I think they have interesting taste and it tells me that my compatibility is "LOW".
