Listlessness

I've been using last.fm, a program which logs all the music you listen to on your computer and iPod, for nearly two-and-a-half years. I suppose it's a way to catalogue your listening habits or maybe just to show off or maybe to meet other people... I'm not terribly sure. Though it was only a coincidence, I started using their "loved" tagging feature intermittently around a sort-of significant occurrence in my life a few months ago. I came to the round number of 200 yesterday (correction, today, after realizing I had tagged a Françoise Hardy song twice, once with the wrong spelling). Naturally, I love more than just 200 songs, and more than just THESE 200 songs, but for my own sake, I figured I'd post them on here, though it's more for my own self-curiosity than anything else, as they put into place my mind during the past few months. They're listed in order of when I "loved" (er, tagged) them.
