The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

Now we can see an exact figure.

Metafilter.com wrote:Last.fm isn't just for humans. Matt Biddulph, a systems architect for the BBC, rigged a homemade plug-in for Last.fm (Previously on MeFi) that, over the course of a year, transmitted over 50,000 songs played on BBC 6Music to a Last.fm account named Sekrit.


Radio 1 http://www.last.fm/user/1ekrit/
Radio 2 http://www.last.fm/user/2ekrit/
1Xtra http://www.last.fm/user/xekrit/
6 Music http://www.last.fm/user/sekrit

The R1, 2 and X have just started in the last couple of days.

its getting far too much air time now. I think its a great song, but over saturation by Radio 1 for example has made it a bit boring now, which is a shame.

It is a shame.
I really liked it when Jo Whiley first played it all those many moons ago but everytime it is played now I want to scream...

I often wonder if the DJ's really like the songs when they keep plugging it to death. Chris said the other say that he is bored to death with it now so honest as ever at least we know what he thinks.
JK and Joel played it as part of their set at their gig in Gloucester last week so I guess they (Or JK at least) obviously do really still like it.

Agree, they're milking it so much that I'm honestly sick of it now. Was intending on purchasing the single but theres no point anymore. It gets played at least twice while I listen to R1 from 06:00-11:00 every morning.

It was played twice when I was out last night in our Students Union, I thought it was alright the first time I heard it, but yeah, its deffinately being over played.

edit : my housemate just got his album now too, I'll never get away from the song now.

She is indeed in Scary Movie 4, Anna Faris is her name, she's one of my favourite female Comedic actresses. She's so expressive, Even if you dont like the Scary Movie films, her expressions are just the best.

Who are Orson ripping off?... and god, at least its not the same old indiy garbage that everyone produces. God, it's something different.

And also, I think The Darkness are supposed to sound like other bands, it's supposed to be a pisstake and a laugh.

Anything in the A-List is so bloody overplayed. But thats what young people want........ the same songs repeated all day.

This is why we all can appriciate the Radio 1 Takeover request bank holiday thingy when its on.
