MG for about the last month (I usually try to divvy up my listening so I can take in all of it)

Pink and Blue (19)
Abide with Me (16)
How to Embrace a Swamp Creature (15)
Treetop Song (13)
Alphonse Mambo (10)
Shadow Song (9)

And for some others...
Neutral Milk Hotel- Oh Sister (31)
Belle & Sebastian- Get Me Away... (16)
Beirut- Elephant Gun (12)
Jawbreaker- Gutless (9)
Weakerthans- Aside (6)

This is kind of pathetic, really. I think I play tMG more than I listen to them or something. Granted, this computer is relatively new, but still. I dunno.

Minnesota (5)
Heretic Pride (5)
Sax Rohmer #1 (4)
San Bernardino (4)
Autoclave (4)

For comparison -

Talon's - April (110)
I Hate Myself - Less Than Nothing (23)
Guided by Voices - Gold Star for Robot Boy (22)
Ampere - Remain Unadapted (21)
Bowerbirds - In Our Talons (20)

somewhat surprised I haven't seen this one yet...


1. Ethiopians (one more play than Going to Georgia).

At least your honest Red Dwarf.. In Our Talons is a good song

Alpha Rats Nest- 93
Half Dead- 86
Pigs That Ran Straightaway Into The Water- 79
Jaipur- 63
Quito- 57
You're In Maya- 47
Weekend In Western Illinois- 43
The Day The Aliens Came- 42

1. We Were Patriots 74( i have no clue where that came from)
2. Baboon 70
3. "Bluejays and Cardinals" 67
4. The Alphonse Mambo 67
5. Family Happyness 64
6. Lion's Teeth 57
7. No Children 55
8. Horseradish Road 53
9. Peacocks 52
10. Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod 50
11. Coroner's Gambit 50
12. Alpha Rats Nest 49

I have no idea where some of those came from. They're all in my top 30, but only a few would be in my top ten. But those lists are always changing, maybe i was obsessed with those songs a little while ago or something.

From Last.fm

Color in Your Cheeks
Slow West Vultures
Palmcorder Yajna
Linda Blair Was Born Innocent
Your Belgian Things
The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton
Mole
Letter From Belgium
The Young Thousands
Fall of the Star High School Running Back

Yeah you can tell I just listened to WSABH and AHWT 50 gillion times. So removing songs from those two albums we get the slightly more interesting:

Tallahassee
Alpha Incipiens
Orange Ball of Hate
This Year
Orange Ball of Love
Going to Georgia
Wild Sage
Southwood Plantation
Dilaudid
No Children

First songs of albums get inflated.

...you reminded me of all the things you'd given up forever...
over and over and over

Oh man. I feel like a tard. This is on iTunes only, not counting the 12 hour shifts I pull, listening to solely Mountain Goats on my iPod... (Yeah sell-out, shut up)

Get Lonely and Sunset Tree were my only two albums for like two years so...

Woke Up New: 250
Get Lonely: 165...

And on like that for Get Lonely the album but my most played that isn't on that album is...

Live version of Nine Black Poppies with 160.

I actually checked this out yesterday unknowing in the fact this thread even existed. All I can remember it that Woke up New was #1 played of all time on my ibook, and it totalled somewhere in the mid 200s

I only started using iTunes a couple months ago, and I mostly listen to a bunch of music on random, but here's what comes out:

Original Air-Blue Gown (16)
Onions (15)
Snow Owl (15)
San Bernardino (15)
Tianchi Lake (15)
There Will Be No Divorce (14)
Minnesota (14)
Heretic Pride (14)
Autoclave (14)
New Zion (14)


Due to newness, Heretic Pride got quite a few extra plays. I have no idea how Original Air-Blue Gown got on top. Great song, but I just didn't see that coming. Only two non-tMG songs crept into the top 12.

Finally someone understands!!

I love this forum.

In addition to listening to the albums, there's a group of songs that always get played most everyday and occasionally get lengthy binges on repeat

Best Ever Death Metal Band (the one with the most plays)
Love Love Love
Orange Ball of Hate
Rockin' Rockin' Pet Store
This Year (was a person anthem of mine for a while there)
Going to Georgia
Snow Crush Killing Song
Game Shows Touch Our Lives
No Children
Jenny

From Last.FM:
Cut Off Their Thumbs #1
No Children (Audience Sing-Along Live)
Twin Human Highway Flares
Abide With Me
Masher

TOP TEN!
Treetop Song
Attention All Pickpockets
Evening In Stalingrad
Going to Queens
Fault Lines
No Children
Ontario
Going To Georgia
Seed Song
Pseudothyrum Song

this is quite flawed however. i would certainly have died in college post breakup (after breakup after tragic breakup etc) if it weren't for the song no children. i wore out the cd twice and so have three digipaks and only one playable disc. long story short, this is post-itunes reset. and i am SHOCKED that the song poltergeist didn't make the cut. i would've guessed top five of no children, going to georgia, treetop, poltergeist and seed song. good thing i never guess.
