Spotify Wrapped.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I've listened to a few full albums so Judas Priest and Kill the Lights made the list on that count (both excellent). Singles are Sum 41, Twin Atlantic, Frank Turner, With Confidence, and Pendulum (it's their remix).

Entirely too obsessed with Spanish Love Songs since diving in head first in January.

I can't have listened to much music on Spotify in March, which makes sense, as I was listening to a lot of podcasts.

Bleachers, Judas Priest and Beyoncé are literally all only on there because they had new albums out, and I don't think I listened to any of them more than once. 

I'm reading a biography of Jake Thackray at the moment, so him being number one in unsurprising, as I haven't listened to much else.

 

For clarity in that top 5:
1. Cat Scratch Fever - Motorhead
2. Wichita Lineman - R.E.M.
3. To Do With You - Jake Thackray
4. Between The Bars - Tanya Donelly
5. Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters - Orville Peck

All bar the Jake Thackray song are cover versions, and all bar Tanya Donelly are in a playlist I put on when I don't fancy a podcast - usually either on the bus home from the pub, or if I'm on the Tube and the line I'm on is too noisy to take in what's being said on a podcast. The Jake Thackray song is in said playlist, and also probably boosted by my listening to him more regularly because of the biography. 

The Tanya Donelly track is from an Elliott Smith tribute album I listened to maybe two or three times over the course of the month.

Meanwhile, it took me until like series three of Meet the Richardsons before I realized Jake Thackray was a real person and not someone the show invented for a bit

One Eyed Bastard is Green Day, Arizona is Carter Evil, Don't You Want Me is Bowling for Soup covering the original, Hey You is Feeder, and Too Many Broken Hearts is Jason Donovan (it got a boost from sharing a laugh with some folks on the way back from a gig last month).

Green Day got a good listen from Saviors being a solid album, Nobuo is a standard in there as is Feeder, Mr B got a bump from seeing him live, and I'm not sure why Good Charlotte managed to make it, though I suspect I may have spent a day just going through their back catalogue which probably explains it.

Internet Friends is Knife Party (forgotten banger), RAINBOWS is Dead Pony, Hell You Call A Dream is The Warning, Bad Mistake is Sum 41, (Coffee's For Closers) is Fall Out Boy.

Not surprised at all Dead Pony and The Warning topped the month, Dead Pony's new album is great stuff and I did a big sweep on The Warning's catalogue before seeing them last week (they're excellent, check them out).

I think I'm more surprised that my minutes/streams are up, because it feels like they've dropped off as the year has progressed.
