Competitive Listening

I've been listening to music recently, completely conscious of the number of times I've played songs for lastfm.

The website seems to make listening to music a competition. I'm kind of glad I don't have 50,000 listens, though. I mean, I don't know if I would if I counted my iPod and old computer, but if I did have that many, I would say more than three quarters would be really embarrassing stuff from back in the day, when I listened to Guster, Linkin Park and Brand New.

I guess I don't have any problems with lastfm.
