Jeff Byrnes’ blog about music, gigging in Boston, & random cool geeky things.
I’m not gonna claim that last.fm is the end-all be-all of song playcounts, but it’s one of the biggest sites like it out there, so this is pretty accurate I’d say.

What a week. From the moment Radiohead announced their plans for latest release ‘In Rainbows’ we’ve been itching to see how you, the listeners, would respond. We let our friends over at Drowned In Sound in on some early data after just 12 hours. Now that our weekly charts are compiled there’s not much else to say apart from ‘Wowzer’. Below you can see the Last.fm global tracks chart for last week, and below that the official UK downloads chart for the same period. Spot the difference?

I'm Jeff Byrnes, a bassist, web coder, avid reader, and Mac user. I'm currently employed by Apple as an iPod Genius at one of its retail stores, but I also code websites freelance part-time, and gig constantly for a rotating cast of bands.
This blog is primarily just a collection of my thoughts, although you can find links to my XHTML / CSS coding CV as well as my musical CV.
