Ever have a moment where a song that you always thought was about everybody you hate turns out to be about you? I've listened to Like A Rolling Stone hundreds of times but today it punched me in the face and gave me a black eye and a bloody nose.

So, on Thursday I listened to Jonathan Coulton's Still Alive (from the end credits of the game 'Portal') for the first time in ages and then on Friday this song is actually referenced on xkcd ("you're doing science, and you're still alive")

and as if that wasn't coincidence enough, tonight a friend on IRC brought up the song as well - without knowing that I listened to it and without having read the comic

:shocked: of the week, I guess

I was listening to the radio on the way to work, The Springsteen channel on SiriusXM with a guest DJ, can't remember who, but he talked about when you go to a concert there is a song that is your emotional pocket that night...the one that brings the tears to your eyes. Then you can see the same artist again and it will be a different song on that night to hit your emotional pocket. Which is so true depending on what is happening in your life. Emotional pocket, going to remember that one. Cool!

that's soooo true, Jane. Every time I see Roger, there's a different song that I hope to hear, depending on my mood that night. Sometimes he'll play the one I'm looking forward to, sometimes not, but it's always a good show regardless.

When I saw Kiss it was Beth that got me all choked up. Seeing Peter Criss up there behind a baby grand pouring his heart out really hit me. I always liked the song, but didn't expect it to affect me the way it did. I also had no idea that Criss could play the piano so that was a nice surprise. :pianist:

Here are the Top 100 artists scrobbled in the last 10 years! (also tracks and you can filter them by genre and stuff)

pretty interesting findings I think...

Also Flies on You is probably only not listed because they're so new ;)

This has to be the only list in history where The Beatles come in at #18.

Yeah, unless you would order it after scrobbles instead of listeners...

comparing The Beatles with the Black Eyed Peas:

listeners:

2,950,079 vs 2,875,079

(75k difference)

scrobbles:

394,092,506 vs 60,951,237

Songfacts gets a shout-out in the top 100 songs list in the description for Here Without You by Three Doors Down.

the descriptions were pulled from the artist / track wikis, they weren't specially written for this :)
