I really like this high level view of my last.fm listening habits in 2011. A few trends I notice ::
- Finals at SVA, April and December, generated large listening spikes
- You can see when I started at Nike, mid June, and was too new to be comfortable putting headphones on at work. Plus, I hadn’t found a way to scrobble my music on my work computer yet.
- My trip to Colorado on the 4th of July sees a spike in music consumption, as I spent hours on airplanes and trains, as well as playing music by the pool at Jakes.
- A lot of my late summer was spent on TurnTable.fm, which lead to a higher variety of songs being played, rather than full albums, represented by many thin layers, rather than fewer, thicker layers
- Early September was my breakup with Claire, and I remember not really listening to music during this time. I’m not entirely sure why.
- I dove into Spotify in mid September and saw my music consumption continue to rise from there on out.
This visualization was created over at lastgraph via my last.fm data, which has consistently logged my music listening regardless from turntable, itunes, and spotify. You can view a high resolution version here.
