So I signed up for last.fm, which is sort of friendster for music nerds. In a fit of potentially misguided "community building" I created a FG/SS group. Y'all should sign up so we can keep tabs on everybody's embarassing taste in music.

Link is here.

Hook it up.

Bump. Seriously.

i signed up for it....finally figured out how to make it work

I signed up. I'll try to set it up later.

i'm on there... as it appears, i've been listening to a lot of hot garbage lately.

joined the group. i've been on last.fm for awhile now. there is also pandora.com which creates a similar station based on your musical preferences but instead of deciding the next track on users' similiarities, it's based upon a range of characteristics in each song. Harmonics, vocal range, bass, etc...

I was wondering if there is a way to view the entire groups music at the same time?

yup!

but i think you may need to wait a few days to a week before the charts populate with all the group's music. if i remember correctly, group charts are populated once a week on sunday.

ya I was looking at that and wondering why it didn't show anything of whats been listened to.

I don't understand last.fm

Is it for streaming music or downloading?

I have downloaded iScrobbler, but I dont understand what it does. It appears others have used it to get music from my computer. Does music I listen to on my iTunes get added to my chart, or only if I listen to it on last.fm?

how the hell do i get it to work. It just says not enough content. wtf

Perhaps wikipedia will answer some of your questions?

you have to play a few hundred songs before it generates your charts...

why are the group charts only listing 2 3 or 4 plays per? does it average plays or something?

https://www.last.fm/user/biffy/

I think the 2 or 3 plays per artist means that 2 or 3 individual users have listened to that artist during the week. I'm not sure if it factors in how often one person listens to something. I could be wrong.

I added an avatar for the group page, though. That's progress, right there.

oh ok. that makes sense

I feel like people knowing what I listen to is going to force me to cut back on the Paul Wall.

can anyone help with my prob. i have no idea what this means. "not enough content to play."

god, it's doing the same **** my email does. it won't let me in because i'm "not allowing cookies", but when i check, i am...and it just won't let me in again.

****ing cookies. ****ing sites that don't let you disallow cookies. ****ing computers.

So I'm listening to it and I've No Doubt and Christina Aguilera. Who the **** on here listens to this horrible ****? Come clean.

who wants to IM me that paul wall CD? i know you do. PM me for my IM ( i can't remember if its in my info)

I have all the mixtapes and his albums, what you want?

Hilary Duff played here last week and my press pass fell through at the last minute. I was heartbroken. I made my friend, Melissa, call me from the concert on her cell when they played "So Yesterday." I am 29 years old.

the one with 'internet goin' nuts' and anything else you recommend

i am listening to james brown right now, no christina

--edit: did you get that jap mp3 cd and the check?
