    My last.fm pretty much sums it up:

    1. Pearl Jam (1,339 listens)
    2. Elliott Smith (1,310 listens)
    3. Tegan & Sara (349 listens)
    4. The Beatles (319 listens)
    5. The Blood Brothers (317 listens)
    6. Brand New (249 listens)
    7. Foo Fighters (247 listens)
    8. McLusky (242 listens)
    9. Pixies (229 listens)
    10. Built to Spill (219 listens)

    So really there's PJ and Elliott Smith then the rest... Quite surprised Foos and Tegan & Sara are so high, haven't listened to Foos in ages. If I was to write a list I'd probably drop T&S and Foos and put in Radiohead and Broken Social Scene

    And he still gives his love, he just gives it away, The love he receives is the love that is saved, And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky, A human being that was given to fly

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
