I don't use it nearly as often as I should. But in the last two weeks I've tried to use it on both of my computers, and also regularly scrobble my iphone... I just listen to vinyl too much when I'm at home.

Listened to way too much rap in '04 - my music compatibility with everyone is low it seems.

I just recently reset all my stats on last.fm which is why I have a relatively low play count / number of artists but please feel free to add me. I don't have to many friends on there yet.

So I just signed up for last.fm right now.

Looking at my top played artists, and I am very surprised. Now, I should mention that last November my computer decided to fuck up and they had to restart from scratch. Luckily all the files were able to be backed up first and I didn't loose any of my music. However, I did loose all previous information of what I had listened to. Now, with that being said... my top played artists is Boards of Canada. By more then double of my second top played artist (The Black Keys). Now, the only time I ever listen to Board of Canada is when I study. So, I guess I study a lot more than I thought I did.

Anyways, besides track my music and shows... what else can last.fm do that I should know about?

[Still-ill]

Oh yeah... I got one too. See sig.

I was a little shocked at my play count too. MBV didnt surprise me obviously... but guided by voices sure did. My brother used to listen on my computer also so that must be why.

It'll recommend other artists that you may like based on your listening habits. You'll also get a list of neighbours who have similar taste to you who you can interact with if you so wish (they don't call it anti-social networking). If you add people you know as friends, you can keep track of when they add shows through your news feed and mock what they listen to (paulb?).

fuck off chris.

Check out the radio stations, too. I have found so many good artists through band's similar artist stations.

Cool, thanks for help Chris. For my suggestions it told me to check out Fleet Foxes because they are apparently similar to Yeasayer and Grizzly Bear... so I am not sure how well it works.

fuck off chris.

You are letting him wind you up.

How do the radio stations work? Do I just type in an artist I like, and it will suggest other artists?

[chiapet]

I am here

Josh, what's your last.fm ID?

Yes, the radio stations can work like that. If you've used Pandora, you can also import your Pandora stations. You're also automatically given suggestions based on your listening history.

I most like listening to my 'neighborhood' and have found lots of new music by looking at people who are my 'neighbors' to see what they listen to that I've not heard of. I end up using it in kind of a wikipedia recursive crawling stalking way where clicking on one person or band results in an hour of following other links/recommendations.

If you click on the name of any artist or perform an artist search and access their last.fm page, the artist page will have a link to a radio station (Underneath the picture, it will say "Play [insert artist name] Radio").
