On every social networking site it asks you for your favourite artists. I’m never quite sure what to put. Is it my favourite artist of all time? Who I’m currently listening to? I tend to treat artists as disposable. When I’ve listened to their albums enough that I’m sick of them I erase them from my playlists and forget about them. Maybe I should just start adding every single artist/band that I can conceive of. What even constitutes a favourite artist? You listen to their music? I don’t want to seem like a phony, you know. I also don’t want to change my list every three months once I’ve gotten over whoever I was enamoured with at the time of writing. I’ll figure this out later.

That’s why you go to last.fm and click on the ‘paste my tastes’ thing. You get a list of your top artists without actually having to think. :D

You find artists disposable? =( ahah… I tend to listen to something a lot, then stop, then go back again haha.
Kate has a good idea there. And putting on things you don’t listen to at the moment, but have before won’t make you a phony. =)
