Think I first heard these guys at Pieter’s place. I can’t stop listening to this album. It’s very electronic really dig the following songs:

  1. And I Was A Boy From School
  2. No Fit State
  3. Over & Over

My goal was to create a playlist which will show me that songs I listened to the most in the last week that I’ve recently added to my collection. This isn’t really possible in iTunes smart playlists since the play count doesn’t actually store the dates of each time you listen.

That said, here’s a set of rules that gets pretty close:

1. Last Played – is in the last – 7 days
2. Date Added – is in the last – 1 months
3. Rating – is greater than – (no stars)

Then to get my top X songs I just order by rating.

I’m sure I could improve on this and would be interested to hear about your creative playlist ideas.
