I took a look at my iPod and music downloads over the past six months. 46 songs downloaded in January, several hundred in February, and consistently less than 40 in each month since then. In every month before January, I've downloaded anywhere from 50-100 songs per month. So it's weird that it's tapered off (besides a bunch of albums in February) since then.
On to content. What type of music has it been? Well in January most of the music was indie-ish type, relaxing songs. There were a few Gorillaz songs and a rap mixtape in there, but, mostly slow, Fleet Foxes stuff.
In February I finally downloaded the first part (600+ songs) of a very large collection of music that my uncle gave me. The vast majority was Neil Young, who helped me realize that I really like harmonicas. Albums and that collection aside, I had around 30 songs downloaded. Only two of them were in English! That was kind of cool to spot.
The following months, March and April, were filled with Black Keys, some Beach Boys and Beatles, and more indie type music. This time the alternative music was more upbeat. I was also introduced to my-now favorite song by Electric Guest (who I had never heard of.) Currently, I have yet to meet a single person who doesn't like this song:
On to May. We only have 3 days left, but I have a measly 19 songs from this warm month. 3 rap songs from the '90's, a couple rock (Nirvana) songs from the '90's, and some modern alternative stuff. If the stars are aligned, the summer will bring the music winds in my favor and a bounty of sound will grace my iPod. Here's my favorite from May:
