For OBSESSION month, we asked all our staffers to check what their MOST PLAYED song is on iTunes or what have you, and send it to us. We thought this was gonna be a selection of Sooper Kool Toonz, because we are such Kool Kidz, but it turns out to be soooooo embarrassing and hilarious. SO MUCH PJ HARVEY (who is awesome, but omg, there would have been a lot more on here if 8tracks let us upload more than two tracks by one artist), and, I mean, SPACE HOG?!? And WTF is that a cappella “Africa” cover? Holy shucks. We are not cool at all! Please enjoy, and mock us at will.

Log in to replyI just checked, and my most played song is a tie between Life’s a Happy Song from The Muppets soundtrack and Disorder by Joy Division. I don’t even.
Log in to replyI saw “Control” and have been on a Warsaw/Joy Division/Ian Curtis binge. It’s not healthy.
Log in to replyhahahaha. best contrast ever. actually, I think of Disorder as happy for a Joy Division song, so maybe not quite as much of a contrast…? but it’s still funny.
Log in to replyAN EMILIE AUTUMN SONG! I love her! She is truly amazing, everyone needs to check her out.
Log in to replyHOW IS THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM EMBARRASSING?

Log in to replyMy most played song is “Little Numbers” from a swiss duo called BOY. Huh, that’s unexpected.
Sorry guys — try again? It should work now.
Log in to replyIt works now (for me at least) thank you!
Log in to replyNot me ? it’s killing me.

My most played song is Sky Ferreira – One.
Log in to replyi love the variety here! you’ve got your magnetic fields, your rihanna, your elvis… this is awesome. i love that rookie isn’t all, “HEY LISTEN TO THIS IT’S COOL KIDS THESE DAYS WITH THEIR POP MUSIC SO HERE’S THAT UBIQUITOUS SONG THAT’S BEEN PLAYED AT EVERY MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCE IN THE COUNTRY” but also not all, “oh, you haven’t heard of it? hmm. well, it’s really obscure. and pretentious. and pitchfork told me to like it. i guess i’m so much cooler than you. oh you like beyonce? mmm.

Log in to replyEvery week I write down my most played songs instead of keeping a diary. I think it’s a pretty good way of recording how I’m feeling, and then when I look back at a week I can instantly say ‘ah yes, that was my stage where i hated everyone,’ or, ‘that was the week I came out.’ I think the music I listen to tells a story.
Log in to replyif you were to get a last.fm account it tracks your most played songs that week for you so you don’t have to write them down!
Log in to replyhow good to find so many of my all time favs in here :D
Log in to replyi wanna know who belongs to which song
Log in to replyWill you guys ever consider making a “Hanging Out With Tank Girl” Friday Playlist? I will be internally grateful…
Log in to replyA LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION that is the best song ever!!! whoever has that as their most-played is automatically the coolest person in this galaxy (in my book, anyway)
Little&Trivial
Log in to replyWhy?, Devendra Banhart, Elliott Smith, ELVIS…! God. If you aren’t kool kids, I don’t know who is.
My top tracks are dominated by Why?, Patrick Wolf and VAST. But I’m not afraid to admit Outkast’s “Hey Ya” still slams through fairly often.
Log in to replyFuck yeah, PJ! Also Fiona Apple.
Log in to replyanco, magnetic fields and elliott smith YES ROOKIE.
Log in to replyextraordinary machine is mine!
it is MY ANTHEM.
Log in to replyMine too! I love her so much.
Log in to replyTHE AFRICA COVER WAS ANAHEED’S!!!!!
Log in to replyI hate you.
Log in to replyLOL!
Log in to replysend me pizza
Log in to replyFU
Log in to replyoh my gosh this is so great. the most-played track on my itunes is “my manic and i” by laura marling, which is one of my favorite songs…. but i do have my fair share of awesome/embarassing music on there (ahem, jesse mccartney, one direction, destiny’s child). but that’s what makes putting my ipod on shuffle EXCITING! haha.

Log in to replyboyoyeyyeee OOH killing me SOOOFTLY and I’m still FAALLLLLINGGG
Log in to replyYESSS! Thank you I am so obsessed with this song. I just pressed play without reading the playlist and hearing this song was the best surprise
Log in to replyMy top played are cath… by death cab, and skinny love by bon iver. Sweet Jesus do I feel like a stereotype…
Log in to replythis is an awesome playlist! I fail to see anything wrong with it. and I think In the Meantime is an awesome song. so there. I’m agree that I really want to know whose song is whose… especially Divine Hammer. awesome, awesome twisted song.
since everyone seems to be sharing, the most played song in my itunes was Never Say Never by That Dog the last time I checked. hooray for obscure 90s alternative!
Log in to replyRookie general knowledge quiz; What ”Most Played Song” Belongs To Which Staff Member?
Log in to replywho did the Fiona apple song?????????
Log in to replyLAIA
Log in to replyI love PJ Harvey so much, but I haven’t put any of her songs on my iPod until now–thanks for reminding me to, Rookie.
Right now my most played song is “Itchin’ on a Photograph” by Grouplove. It’s so catchy, every time I hear it I replay it 10+ more times and then it is stuck in my head for a week, so I have to keep on playing it. It’s a vicious cycle.

Log in to replyMy top three apparently are:
Log in to replyBitter by The Leeves, a delightful local band in Greensboro, N.C.
Drain the Blood by The Distillers.
And, Dismantle Me also by The Distillers.
Apparently in the top ten I have seven Distillers songs. Clearly, you can tell how much of my favorite band they are. And I can’t even listen to them because I transferred my stupid itunes music onto my external hard drive. This sucks.

little red corvette is marie’s
another night is hazel’s
extraordinary machine is laia’s
why? is joe’s
what would i want? sky is eleanor’s

4 o’clock is rachael’s
16th & valencia roxy music is illustrator emma’s

Log in to replyTHIS IS HARASSMENT

MY ITUNES LIES, EVERYONE
Log in to replymy repeat song is ‘Getting Better’ by the beatles.
Log in to replyOMG THIS IS FANTASTIC
my 1st most played is “clair de lune” and then “reverie”, both by debussy, but only because i listen to them before i go to bed and sometimes i leave them on repeat by accident. both xcellent songs, however.
my REAL most played song would probs be a tie between “in my eyes” by robyn or “venus” by bananarama.
Log in to replyDebussy. yes. ♥ Arabesque is forever on repeat, at least in my head, when the day grows quiet.
Log in to replyI wanna know who the Animal Collective song belongs to + hug them
Log in to replyhehehehehe
Log in to replyGOLDEN HOURS <33333

Log in to replyinstead of an elephant
oh my most played is chasing pavements by adele from this really depressed period i went through in 2008. Apparently I’ve played it 78 times but i swear i haven’t so i think my itunes is just a bit fucked up!
Log in to replyooooh pj harvey!!!
Log in to reply“Blowing kisses to disinterested bitches” is the best line ever and when I saw that Why?’s Good Friday was on the tracklist I would have sworn I shat myself.
Kudos to whoever’s iPod this is.
Log in to replyThe big bang – rock mafia
Log in to replyplay count: 544
talk about embarrassing but i still can’t manage to skip when it comes on shuffle….
Apparently, my most played song is Smile (Pictures or It Didn’t Happen) by Amanda F**king Palmer :) Actually, she’s my top 4 most played, over a thousand each :/ I actually didn’t realize I’d heard those songs that much. Seriously, my play count on my phone goes 1557, 1520, 1397, 1147, 80. IDK. I’m thinking it got left on repeat?
Log in to replydef. something up with my iphone’s play count, b/c it says i’ve only listened to Melody Dean 1 time, which is completely not true.
