It’s funny how I stop thinking, “Ooh, this would make a good post,” when my blog goes out of comission, and I pretty much stop paying attention to things going on in the world.
I did, however, remember reading about Evo Morales, a socialist, being elected the president of Bolivia. It seems the South Americans get it, and he was elected with an absolute majority (at least 51%) just to show how much support he has.
Shame he’ll probably be assassinated by the US shortly. I give him two months.
I think this entry just set off some alarms over at the NSA.
Time to do some year-end lists. I’m gonna start off with music this time, and by using the magic of iTunes it pretty much makes these lists for me. These lists are for music I found in the year 2005, not music that was released in 2005.
Update: Favorite song chosen below. Right, these are all just stats gathered by a computer program, so scroll down to see my pick for favorite song of the year.
Most Played Songs
Pretty self-explanatory. Unfortunately it tends to favor songs I found earlier in the year.
-
Death Cab for Cutie - Brothers on a Hotel Bed (88 plays)
My favorite track on my first listen through their album Plans, although I think What Sarah Said is just as good, if not a better track.
-
Howie Day - Collide (63 plays)
Very radio-friendly and Top 40, but can’t deny it’s a great song.
-
Elefant - Tonight Let’s Dance (61 plays)
Love the beat on this track.
-
Stereophonics - Dakota (55 plays)
Probably a lot higher than it should be, but it did come out early in the year, helping it get more plays.
-
Jem - Finally Woken (54 plays)
I always bob my head when I hear this song.
Honorable Mention: Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone; New Order - Age of Consent; Badly Drawn Boy - The Shining; Ben Folds - In Between Days; French Kicks - The Trial of the Century; DeVotchKa - How It Ends; Rilo Kiley - Patiently; The Human League - Human.
