Audioscrobbler (now Last.FM) Update

Since my last post about Audioscrobbler's weekly charts for the Vermont group, Audioscrobbler has overhauled their site. It looks a lot nicer and functions a little better but is painfully slow. Hopefully, they'll do another system upgrade to get it moving quicker.

The other change is that it nows goes by the moniker Last.FM which used to be the radio sister site to Audioscrobbler. I guess they chose to play up that name and function.

Here are the top ten bands for the members who belong to the Vermont group:

Top Artists – Week of Jul 31 to Aug 7, 2005

The Decemberists
Doves
The Beatles
Belle and Sebastian
Beck
Eels
Sufjan Stevens
M.I.A.
Thelonious Monk
Gorillaz

The Decemberists also hold the top song slot with "We Both Go Down Together".

The group has a few new members since last time but the tone of the list didn't change dramatically. It still shows a strong interest in indie rock although it was interesting to see Monk jump up on the list out of nowhere.
