Vor langer, langer Zeit sagte ein weiter Mann "When you reach the monumental play count of 100.000 songs, you should celebrate it." und kaum Jemand wusste, dass dieses Zitat noch weiterging: "... but when you reach the even more monumental play count of 200.000 - you are the shits!"

Zwei Jahre und zwei Monate habe ich gebraucht um von 100.000 auf 200.000 gespielte Tracks bei last.fm zu kommen. Und um die letzten 51 fehlenden Titel ausgiebig zu feiern, durften sich ein paar Personen ein paar Lieder wünschen. Diese werden hier nun festgehalten:

199.950: dredg - "Quotes“
gewünscht von July

199.951: Feist - "1234“

199.952: Colin Hay - "Overkill“

199.953: 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor - "Dreams (Will Come Alive)“
