No I don't mean I've loved 134,000 tracks, that's the total last.fm listening tally to date. Collard-Neven's Improv 5, a cinema verité mix of piano and street that appeals to me. It's the 134,000th track and I loved it. My loved total is now 1,343 tracks, FYI.

Now that's I've crossed into 84-land, I'm almost inspired to believe one day I may hit 100. It seems that such "perfect" listening is beyond anyone's, and especially an algorithm's, grasp. Yet I may hope. I do hope.

Well this is a big day, or whenever it recently was I cracked the octo mark. I don't know what I did, I guess just listening mostly. It seems to me, however, my listening was more variable over the last year, which is when I moved from 77 to 80. So now the question will be: have I peaked? Or is my upward surge unstoppable? Rdio just this week redesigning (badly) their app is not a good first step, although if I have to move back to Soma or even my own iTunes library it won't be the end of…

Last says their new subscription package program will affect me, but I cannot see how. Much ado or the beginning of the end? I would welcome a user friendly explanation.

It took tens of thousands of listens booked, but last.fm's chart tracker has finally bumped me up from a long-standing 76 to 77. I don't know what I did to deserve it. Safe to say it's a long way until I hit the 80s.

Especially when it's random. Missing an entire group or pod because something isn't working, that I can understand. But missing 2 songs here, 1 song there, all with no apparent reason, it's enough to make you want to reinvent the wheel. How hard can that be.

For example, just completing track with the delightful Natalie Nicole Gilbert. More henceforward as we get closer to release.

We don't have to invent zombies, we already have zombies. This is what a zombie is: the creature who loses its humanity in crisis. Both components are important to the definition. For example, there are plenty of people walking the earth who have lost their humanity right now but they suffer no more than existentially, which is to say as we all do. I don't doubt the case could be made this too is a crisis, but as it is one that has existed since the spark of consciousness it's not the kind I'm talking about. It must be something…

To bring a little life to this joint, I'll bet I can aggregate some other content creation delivery stations and push them here. After all why not.

I was really hoping to like the Jambox Jawbone. I have other speakers but wanted a little, good-sounding dolly to set in front of my monitor. Alas, it's quite terrible. I'll have to return it.
