Milestones: I hit 20,000 plays on last.fm earlier today. I wasn’t planning this, but I refreshed the screen after synching my iPod when I got home from work and there it was.

The lucky track was Titus Andronicus - No Future Part Two: The Days After No Future.

Lykke Li. They’re playing in Seattle in Feb. I’m just sayin’.

I love the 60’s sound and experimental touches…that woman just played a Walkman like an instrument.

Spotify, An Alternative to Music Piracy Ernesto / TorrentFreak:
The music industry has taken some extreme measures to counter piracy, but it hasn’t found the silver bullet yet. The key is to come up with a service that will fulfill the needs of music lovers, and one that would even be embraced by the most hardcore pirate. With Spotify, this might just become possible. Spotify is a music service that gives users access to a huge library of music, through a lightweight application that looks like a mashup of the best parts of iTunes and Last.fm. Music is streamed, partly supported by P2P technology, but it plays instantly, like we’ve never seen before. One of the software engineers at Spotify is Ludvig Strigeus, the creator of uTorrent. It is therefore no surprise that the application uses very few resources, just 12k memory when we tested it. The rumor goes that some of the money made when uTorrent sold to BitTorrent Inc., has actually been invested in Spotify, an application that competes with piracy.
