Are you on LastFM?

**Cat** · 04-28-2007, 01:17 PM

What the title says. I just became a member there 'cause it's a great way to find new artists. Are you on there? If so, what's your url? I need friends

I'm ecaths on there. http://www.last.fm/user/ecaths/

BlackWolf · 04-28-2007, 10:28 PM

I was, I hated it. Pandora for the win!!!

**Cat** · 04-29-2007, 08:25 AM

Yeah, I've tried it. I don't like it. It gives me a bunch of crap I can't listen to, and what I can listen to I've already heard...

BlackWolf · 04-30-2007, 10:54 PM

^You don't like Pandora?

**Cat** · 05-01-2007, 11:00 AM

No! I don't like it! Like I said, it gives me a bunch of crap that I can't listen to. And it's freaking annoying that you can't skip more than like... 5 songs an hour is it? I like to skip the crap.

BlackWolf · 05-01-2007, 11:07 PM

^Yeah, that's a bit of a pain, but I find if I set it up right I don't need to skip anything. It takes a bit of work to get the stations tuned right, but in my opinion once you do the result are much better, especially in diversity. I found the only things last.fm recommended were things I knew already, and well, I could listen to my collection if I wanted that.

**Cat** · 05-02-2007, 05:28 PM

Yeah, well, I'm not going to sit through hours and hours of crap before the 'good stuff' starts showing up. Not when I found several people that have, like, the exact same taste in music as me on LastFM, and they all have several bands in their lists that I've never heard before.

BlackWolf · 05-02-2007, 10:17 PM

And therein lies the difference, I couldn't find anyone who matched up well enough with me, I don't know if it was because I'm too picky or my tastes are too weird, but it just didn't work. Plus, I'm not a social network type of guy anyway, so that probably didn't help at all.

But hey, different strokes for different folks, right?

P.S. Heh, found my account again, http://www.last.fm/user/BlackWolf25/ , damn I have good taste.

**Cat** · 05-04-2007, 12:17 PM

Well, we're not musically compatible according to that profile, BW

I'm disappointed. Though I see you've been listening to We Are Scientists!

Are you sure you're not compatible with any of your neighbours? There's 50 of 'em!

BlackWolf · 05-04-2007, 09:52 PM

^Keep in mind it hasn't been updated in a long time, looking at your profile I'd say we match up better than it would suggest.

It says I am, and I do have a lot in common with most of them, but it's the things I don't have in common that are the trouble. I look through and the only bands I see that I don't already listen to, are ones I know I don't like.

I find it weird that it says you have 50 neighbours, and that I have 250. And, well, it didn't take long before I found a person that was 'super' musically compatible with me. It's too bad you haven't found one. Oh, and if we have a more similar taste, and I find so much great stuff, then maybe you should dig a little deeper?

BlackWolf · 05-04-2007, 11:02 PM

Meh, I could, but at this point I just don't want to

**Cat** · 05-07-2007, 07:09 PM

Ah, looks like I have to add lazy to the list as well. You're now an angry and lazy old fart.

BlackWolf · 05-07-2007, 09:38 PM

^Hmmm, this could be a long list.

Anyway, I don't think this is laziness, I think it's just a matter of preference, I found other ways of finding music suited me better is all. But that change anything, I'm still lazy.

I'm not a registered member, but I like to browse the site from time to time.

We can't always agree

I have to say I got way too much out of that site after actually becoming a member there. It calculates so much for you... It's pretty sweet

TheMongKey · 05-27-2007, 06:55 PM

I joined last.fm a couple of weeks ago, not sure what I think of it yet... some of my favourite bands are bands that it's never heard of...
