Dude! Arc Angels are incredible. Anything Charlie Sexton has a hand in is good. I consider him one of those artists "too good for the masses".

I do most of my music listening on my iPod and I rarely plug it in to my computer, so it's not very accurate.
But audioscrobbler is very cool...

You had me interested enough to see if I had anything that came up for "death" LOL. I have 5 (none of which I actually listen to, BTW). That's out of 2606 songs.
And that makes me wonder why the hell you don't use audioscrobbler? Or do you and I just don't know about it? If not, its totally something you would be in to -- check it out (http://www.last.fm/user/KarenClark/) it keeps track of everything you listen to on your computer and iPod too.
