Current top 10 most played songs in the last year (approximately, I got this computer last June) according to iTunes (and note, I don’t always play music through iTunes, because of my car, the radio show, ipod, etc.)

1. Scenic World - Beirut
2. Where Gravity is Dead - Laura Veirs
3. Bridges and Balloons - Decemberists
4. Sister Winter - Sufjan Stevens
5. Flight 180 - Bishop Allen
6. The Mistress Witch from McClure - Sufjan Stevens
7. Triggers and Trash Heaps - Centro-Matic
8. Fire Island, AK - Long Winters
9. The Devil is Beating his Wife - David Bazan
10. Put a Penny in the Slot - Fionn Regan

The list ranges from 83 plays to 41 plays (again, only in iTunes).
It’s not much of a surprise that a lot or most of those songs are in my mixtapes. It’s a circular thing: I listen to a song a lot so I put it on a mixtape and then I listen to it a lot because it’s on a mixtape (test listens and then also just because I like the mixes).

Also, I was obsessed with a lot of these songs and I’m sure I would have put them in my song obsessions column had I had it then.
