Guess TIDAL has officially failed now...

I can't believe Jay-Z is 50 years old.

Did anyone else get their Spotify Wrapped 2019 today? For US people the link is: 2019 Wrapped For UK people the link is: 2019 Wrapped

Some interesting stats/info from mine:

Number of different songs played: 8,359
Minutes Listened in 2019: 55,985
New Artists Discovered: 884
Different Countries: 67
Top Artist 2019: Hydrogenii
Artist of the Decade: SoulChef
Top Genre: Chillhop

Yeah, it says my minutes listened in 2019 was like 119k and my artist of the decade was Fall Out Boy. It says my favorite song in both 2017 and 2018 was the same song off of From Under the Cork Tree.

I like that my most listened to track in two different years is the same one from 2005. It's telling. That track ranked 21st this year too.

Mine was a bit down this year...mainly because I had an uptick in listening to music through my native Music app on my iPhone.

# of Different Songs: 1,749
Minutes Listened in 2019: 16,061 (down from 40k+ last year)
Top Artist 2019: Vampire Weekend
Artist of the Decade: The Beatles (shocker...)
Top Genre: Rock

One thing I found kind of funny was that The Beatles were my Top Artist of the Decade, yet 4 of my 5 Top Songs of the Decade were by Arcade Fire (and the 5th was by The Shins lol)

Yep. Spreading it out with the Beatles.

If my top-3 for the decade is all Fueled By Ramen artists, is that bad?

I used to work with a weirdo who never listened to music. He had never even bought an album. Is that you, Neil?

 

[Bubba Thudd]

I listen to music as often as possible.
I go to concerts weekly.
I love Rock & Roll.
But I don't Spotify, Pandora, etc

Any squash players here?

Any squash players here?

My dad and I used to play when I was in middle school. But I haven’t played much since, super fun though.

Played it last night for the first time, fun as hell.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Any squash players here?

Yes! I used to play Squash a couple of times a week in the UK before I moved to Colorado 5 years ago. I was never able to find anywhere reasonably priced to play in the Denver-metro area (nor anyone keen on playing).

Is it at all like racquetball? Love racquetball

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Is it at all like racquetball? Love racquetball

It is similar but different. The ball is smaller and harder, thus less bouncy. The rackets have longer handles (more akin to tennis) and more oval shaped heads. The lines and markings on court and walls are slightly different too - but premise wise it is pretty much the same thing.

The interesting cultural thing is that in the UK, squash is a sport played more by younger or middle aged people. And racquetball is more an older generation pursuit. At least in my experience. But here in the US barely anyone seems to actually play squash and racquetball is beloved by younger players. Again, just my personal observations, I may have things wrong.

So I went through my iTunes stats the other day and even as a metal head my top 30 most played is quite unique. I mean I love all types of music and I got a lot of trance in my top 30, but supposedly I've listened to this song...

...64 times since I reloaded my iTunes like two years ago.

My top five is...

1. Man with a Mission - Vitamin 64 (I guess a good chuck came from one day which I just binged listened the hell out of it)
2. Blood Stain Child - Last Stardust
3. RWBY - This Will Be the Day
4. Luna Sea - Desire
5. Voyager - It's Time to Know

Besides McMetal, I doubt you lot will know about any of them. I got a lot of songs I drum to in the top 30 as well, but would be more from all the drumless tracks I listen to on YouTube. Don't need Spotify nor Google Play. I buy songs like a real man.

What do you think of the new Voyager album? I like it a lot, surprisingly heavy for them while still being uniquely Voyager.

So how's my new avatar?

I actually have not listened to it yet except for all the singles/music videos they released (which I loved everyone). I've been listening non-stop to Devin Townsend discography the past couple of months. Great collection of music by him, so many different genres he taps into and each album is unique from the rest.

1. Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepson

Disappointed, no Kpop nor Stairway to Heaven on there.

Just ran into Calvert & Burakovsky at the Chipotle by my house. That was kinda cool. Calvert was eating with his wife, so I didn't interrupt him or ask him for an autograph, or anything. Burky went in after I left.
