Last.fm has really actually opened my eyes regarding the popularity of bands... Magik Markers have about 100,000 plays... that's actually really noteworthy and amazing when you consider the kind of stuff they're doing... Wolf Eyes has about 275,000 plays... granted, a lot of the plays may be by the same people but still. Pretty nuts.

you know that those 100,000 plays are just from maybe 20 thousand people? and that many of them heard just the beginning and turned it off and it is counted as a PLAY?
that is EXTREMELY obscure
no matter how much you say otherwise, wolf eyes, magik marker sand all those bands are EXTREMELY obscure, if you lok at music in general man. I can guarantee you that wolf eyes have yet to sell more than 100 thousand of ANYTHING. and that is giving them some leeway too man.
