Pic of the week 3/12/23
This week Spotify wrapped dropped, giving an insight into my musical habits and tastes of the year.
Before looking at the numbers, my sense is/was that I haven’t listened as much this year (Becky not working on Sundays has denied me a significant slot of “kitchen dancing time”) but my listening has been more eclectic than before.
Abba were my top artist, although Olivia Newton John’s “Xanadu” was my top track and, along with Cher’s “Turn back time” in 5th place, I’ve clearly embraced my inner disco queen.
But I listened to 40 different genres, and I’m not surprised to see that “Soul” was the pick of that pile. On the whole, I listen to “happy music”
My top songs, and …
… my top artists.
Looking back over previous years, both Deacon Blue and the Jam regularly appear in that list.
So, I listened for 7,302 minutes (down on all previous years), to 548 songs from 348 different artists. Music does still play a big part in my life, it brings me joy and happiness, and can change my mood, from bad to good, in the course of a few three minute blasts.
In other news, its been cold this week, very cold, with a heavy frost Friday into Saturday (my fleece seems to have done its job in protecting my outdoor geraniums. ) And yesterday I put up the outdoor Christmas lights – its beginning to look … and all that!
