what's your count?

It's too hot, and I've been too tired to post anything of interest this week.

I'm still recovering from my visit to the city, and I can't shake the fatigue that I've had associated with the visit. Or it could be that I might be slightly sick, but trying not to succumb to that either. I choose to blame it on the heat right now.

Why again did our forefathers build on a swamp? Were they fucking crazy or stupid? I mean I realize it wasn't supposed to be inhabited by 'commoners,' but still.

One of the many fun things about an iTunes player is that it automatically creates a playlist with your most 25 played songs. This doesn't include songs that you skip. Only ones that are actually fully played. Along with the fact that you can always see the playcount of each song in your collection.

Clearly if you have a limited number of songs, your playcount for each should be high. Or if you like to listen to songs on repeat, like I do sometimes. It's interesting to look at the list though, to see what songs you have listened to the most, without inadvertently skipping them over.

My top played song? "Don't Panic," by Coldplay coming in way ahead of the game at 587 plays. Granted it's two and a half minutes long. Second is "In the Waiting Line" by Zero 7 at 451.

I have a hard time fathoming that I've listened to both of those songs so many times.

What's your #1 played song?

Final Straw - R.E.M.

And I thought that was a lot. Obviously I'm mistaken
