Blog

Well i made a journal back in 2006 to see how my music taste compared to the mainstream listeners, in that you had to mark down how many listeners each artist had at the time, now looking back on it i find its very interesting to see how they've grown over the years.
so i thought i'd record what each artist has currently so that again i can look back in a year or so and see how they've grown again.
i'm planning to mark down my top 50, but might take longer then i can be bothered tonight.

Well i made a journal back in 2006 to see how my music taste compared to the mainstream listeners, in that you had to mark down how many listeners each artist had at the time, now looking back on it i find its very interesting to see how they've grown over the years.
so i thought i'd record what each artist has currently so that again i can look back in a year or so and see how they've grown again.
i'm planning to mark down my top 50, but might take longer then i can be bothered tonight.

Will never get heard.

These Charts Don't really Represent Quite what i listen to these day ('10). Dubstep has been my main genre for about 15 months now but there was only a couple artist on my chart last year, which is annoying because since it has completely blown up recently to the mainstream it would have been good to see the development of fanbases.

But since i've Missed That i will begin marking down my favorites and Some potential Hot Prospects in various genres.

DUBSTEP
Because This is still my thing at the moment I will cover it in more depth.
well I've been aware of dubstep since 07 and i got skream's self titled album and the first Burial album along with various other songs from breakcore artists, kode 9 and Milanese. but it was until the end of 08 that it really caught my eye as something really special, and that was after my first dubstep rave, the bass changed my life.

Already Massive Hype around this guy been listening for several months now and i expect him to jump the 100,000 mark once his next album is released.
