I haven't listened to music in months let alone scrobbled anything. What a mess. The holidays knocked me on my butt, and I didn't even listen to Feliz Navidad this Christmas… or maybe I did but my audio-visual technology just isn't being kept up to speed anymore. Sadly, this means I have no online record of said Christmas music listening.

My own friends on last.fm also seem to let their scrobblers fall into disrepair, but I always managed to at least keep my own computer/home stereo rig set to keep track of my listening habits (especially if my mobile music player was on the fritz). I suppose I was just more diligent in the past at keeping this stuff running though. More and more, instead of tech upkeep, it's all abut keeping things together for the future.

So by "the future", I mean that serious family-based kind of future that 20 and 30-somethings see all their peers getting caught up in. Looking through my iTunes library's Last Played column reveals that I have dropped my listening average from 23 tracks a day to roughly 23 tracks per MONTH this winter. Totally unacceptable! No amount of clamoring from my loved ones to settle down can rationalize the terribly low amount of music I am listing to.

I can't wait to crack into all these chiptune albums that came into my life during all the holiday sale shopping excitement. Wait, let's think… holiday shopping… excitement. Ah, well, there is the future to think about, but I suppose this is what really happened to my focus on music the last 3 months: Steam Sales, Humble Indie Bundles and the like were just too tempting.

Expect some of that to trickle into my last.fm profile. Mmm… chiptunes.
