So, there I was in last month, sitting down to get things caught up, and literally I went to refresh the Last.FM page and it wasn't working. In my usual brain fogginess, I forgot to get back to that... and now it's another month later. Let's try to get this train back on track!
Usually February ends up being one of the shorter months for the year, but March caught an unprecedented drop, ending on only 1875 scrobbles, an average of 60 per day. That makes a decline at 31%. Don't ask why because I honestly don't know, but having a month with 5 different days under 12 scrobbles is pretty wild. That being said, 9-10pm ended up being the busiest hour, with 10-11p and 11a-12p finshing up the top 3. Top genres were Rock, Synthpop, Pop, Classic Rock, and Alternative Rock.

I suppose forever unknown released a new record, huh? I don't think I've ever seen a month captured like that before. I have an extremely strong feeling that the year-end lists will reflect heavily on this month.

Seeing Brave the Sea live re-ignited my love for the band, while doing interviews with f/u and Justyfi sent them up the charts for this month. It was definitely a strange one by any measurable metric.
As always, thanks to Last.FM for letting me compile these stats. I've been using it for almost 5 years now... perhaps I should do a 5 year look-back at the this year? We'll see.
