Hi Turangalila!

Checkin it, ENBB.

It might mean either as she's a new user last fm isnt working atm as charts arent even up for the new week. Or she hasn't played enough tracks yet.
But I think I saw other people in the forums saying they had the same problem so it's probably a bug.

Let's talk about Rudimentary Peni please please please tell me your fave album of them.

Oh shit, Chrissie Hynde is in my ears. Oh god. I mean Grace Jones, sorry. One of these women are about to kill me.

That would be Death Church, Bimble. xpost

Wait a minute. Zarkle was Stephen? He was the dude who went by the name Drugs A. Money had liked Can. Is that the one?

Bimble, I used to post under the name "stephen" here (not Drugs A. Money, sorry). We've chatted before on a bunch of post-punk threads, Bunnymen, Chameleons, everything else... and we've exchanged a few emails, too.

I do love me some Can, of course.

Oh okay! Well why don't we be friends on this stupid site, then. Did I add you as a friend yet? Play me some Fall, man.

Colonel Poo you need to get on AIM every once in awhile, thanks.

I could never reset my charts. It's a little annoying when I play recommendation radio and things are played based on similarities to things I never listen to anymore, and I have artists in my top 10 I haven't heard in years, but still, it would be like rewriting a history book, it just seems wrong and I like having a complete picture of my old musical tastes for better or for worse.

hullo hullo there

Here's mine :
http://www.lastfm.fr/user/snowballing
I'm using the mediamonkey plugin which seems to work very randomly...

the winamp plugin worked until the last update and they finally made a native mm plugin that was really spotty the last time i checked that might be what you have. there's an older method that's still solid i have to dig it up

I'm now using winamp as mediamonkey's player, works perfectly now.

You're right. We have the "Géniale" compatibility in the french translation, which sounds like it's even better than super.

that weekly picture thingy: http://lastfm.obsessive-media.de/weekly/5x6/johnjusten.jpeg

It actually feels pretty liberating.

just open a new account. that's what i did.

http://lastfm.obsessive-media.de/weekly/5x6/rabiesangents.jpeg

So I'm into like two kinds of music it seems.

I can't get good results with that quilt generator because I format album names on my iPod as "Artist - Album". The only albums that show up are ones I listened to on my computer, or ones where I forgot to change the album name before plays registered.

It says on mine that I didnt play enough, but i did. Must be a bug in it. The scrobble up thing would usually not appear between pics, but at the bottom.

how did one create the quilt thing again?

its a collage http://lastfm.obsessive-media.de/generator.shtml (choose 6x5 or 5x6)

Very Low. Was Low before I think. Says we only have 3 artists in common, which looking at your library isn't right.

(I was joking, Lex)

lol lex listens to hipster metal

It was actually Iron Maiden.

Mystery is solved re: http://www.last.fm/user/greysunkencunt

One of Jim's friends

;_; I now have Low compatibility with moist_vagina.

I wonder who has the most obnoxious name on last fm? See if anyone can beat those 2

ha, moist_vagina is ilx's own Brainwasher

and a nirvana song obv

maybe greysunkencunt is an Anal Cunt song

I somehow doubt BW's too into Nirvana

if you're unfamiliar with them http://www.last.fm/music/Anal+Cunt check out their songtitles

http://www.last.fm/music/Anal+Cunt/+charts?rangetype=week&subtype=tracks

(I can't believe I'm saying this, but) 'grey sunken cunt' is a James Joyce reference - it's part of a quote from Ulysses.

i don't actually know the dude but i think he was my closest neighbour and he threw me an invite. i have read Ulysses but didn't remember that! I was wondering myself.

From their site update:

# New year, new neighbours
We've integrated the improved neighbour algorithms that our music science squad has been developing on playground over the past year. Check out your new neighbours on your profile tab! (Although you may have fewer than before, you'll hopefully find them to be a more diverse and interesting group of musical soulmates.) We also now highlight the artists you share in common that most influenced their placement on your neighbours list. (Update: The taste-o-meter is currently being recalibrated with all the new neighbour data, so it may give you funny ratings for the next 24 hours. We're on the case!)

one of my other friends is someone who sent me an invite because i was a neighbour, and I accepted only to realise it was like a 14 year old girl or something. /No paedo

Your musical compatibility with Chagito is Low

Music you have in common includes cLOUDDEAD, Aphex Twin, Boredoms, Ruins and Lil' Wayne

that means we should all get different results with each other with the taste-o-meter from tomorrow then?

now that's what i'm talkin bout

i don't actually understand what they've recalibrated btw

I also had low before for pfunkboy, now:

Your musical compatibility with trailofgybe is Medium

Music you have in common includes Can, Don Caballero, Miles Davis, Boris and Funkadelic.

i still don't trust it: have gone to a few users i was pretty much 100% super-compatibility with before, and it still says low.

they should really say how they changed it and why or it just seems slightly arbitrary.

its changed for some people and not for others. so maybe the new algorithm hasn't been applied to everyone yet.

anyway all of you check your neighbours page. It's totally different now.
A Belgian friend of mine (no, not nath) is now my top neighbour!

heyyy cis is my neighbour now!

Yeah its still working its way through the system. by the end of the week it should all be done.

all my neighbours are totally different now. Alan N and Harpal are gone. No ilxors in it now.

greysunkencunt, my top neighbour is totally gone and Kenan, the only ilxor in my neighbourhood is also gone.

Adam will still be very low with everyone

Is there anyone here math-savvy-geeky enought to try to GUESS what the last.fm algorithm is?

Or perhaps just make one up anyway?

I'm guessing it's something like

SUM(Directly Matching Band * Your Plays * Neighbor's Plays) + SUM(Adjacent band * your plays * neighbor's plays * 0.5) + SUM(Two-degrees-away band * your plays * neighbor's plays * 0.25) + etc.

Too bad there's no BBCode for mathematical notation. :(

Don't say things like that. I'd hate people reading this thread to think it's full of nerds..

Okay, I logged out and in and now the new calibrations work.

Your musical compatibility with reverenddollars is Very Low

Adam is the columbian still your neighbour?

I don't think so.

http://www.last.fm/forum/21713/_/434268/5#f8228662

We've still got some bad data cached for users whose tasteometers you viewed in the past 24 hours; we should be clearing it out later today, but in the meantime you'll get new tasteometer scores for user pages you haven't seen in the past 24 hours and the old scores for those you have.

In summary: this should now be fixed, but the data will take a little time to propogate.

Weird, that there a couple people I either had good compatibility with or feel like I should have good compatibility with who rated as Low. (xp: pfunkboy's note probably explains that) I would like to note that me and Colonel Poo's top shared artist is Biz Markie. XD

ok it seems to have just increased everyone's compatibility - people i was medium with are now very high, people i was high with are super &c - maybe in response to people complaining about how they were low with everyone?

I wonder if compatibility is going to change often as users play more stuff. That would be really good.

Weekly changes would be great.

yeah some sort of adjustment once in a while would be nice...i felt that my neighbors were very specifically neighboring one period of my music listening life, and i had moved on but my neighbors hadn't.

there's still some funkyness going on with neighbors...on my first page of neighbors, there's a bit of reaching with "Artists We Share". A few aren't anywhere in my top 500, one is literally in last place, and one is in 403rd place with 9 plays. But when I click on the people's names under the tasteometer it names some of my top bands we have in common.

Your musical compatibility with SatanKnows is Very Low

Music you have in common includes Swans, The Fugs, Mudhoney, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band and Killing Joke.

Probably because I dont listen to twee,grindcore and death metal like you do.

Quite surprised by this, thought it would be medium at least.

Your musical compatibility with NedRaggett is Low

Music you have in common includes New Kingdom, Working For A Nuclear Free City, The Associates, The Cure and Cocteau Twins.

Simply because everyone else is doing it ...

Your musical compatibility with NedRaggett is MEDIUM
Music you have in common includes Disco Inferno, Low, The Chameleons, Ulrich Schnauss and Stars of the Lid.

xp yeah i expected to have 'very high' with Ned

although his top 5 artists are a bit ... surprising:

1 VNV Nation

2 Radiohead

3 Play
Paul Stanley

4 Sparks

5 Vangelis

I get the impression from a quick swatch at Ned's play count and top tracks/artists that his scrobbles aren't particularly representative of his general musical tastes, or of how much he actually listens to.

Which raises an intere ... er, a question. How obsessive are you about documenting your listening with last.fm? Me: absolutely and absurdly so. I get disproportionately pissed off if, say, I forget to scrobble plays from my iPod or phone, and would dearly love some kind of plugin for YouTube, MySpace etc so music I watch/listen to there is counted.

Yeah a way of scrobbling Youtube and Myspace would be great, and would mean I would use those services a lot more to listen to music!

And I too am super-obsessive, I get upset (upset!) when my iPod fails to scrobble a day's worth of listening.

Aspiest thread of 2009!

idk i'm obsessive enough about last.fm but it all seems to work itself out these days - ipod scrobbling sometimes inexplicably misses tracks out (i think when i don't play them to the end) but not enough to annoy. i mostly use youuuutuuuube and myspazz for evaluative purposes so it's actually a good thing that they don't show up.

Yeah, part of me wants everything I ever play to be on last.fm, but in practice it's very little. I used to play 99% of music through my computer and stereo, but now the stereo's in the other room, and also I lost a 200GB hard drive full of music so now I've only got about 10GB to play with. Looking at my neighbours since they've changed the thing I've got loads where the bands in common are mainly twee jangly stuff that I just don't listen to these days, but probably makes up most of the plays on the account.
I probably listen to music the most on my mp3 player, but that won't keep playlist data so that doesn't get anywhere. Sometimes I play a CD on the stereo, then put that on the computer to scrobble while I actually listen to something else. What the fuck am I actually doing with my life?

Lex- if you use an iPod, it will only scrobble tracks you have played in full, rather than the default last.fm radio threshold of 50%.

Sometimes I play a CD on the stereo, then put that on the computer to scrobble while I actually listen to something else. What the fuck am I actually doing with my life?

Yeh, I mean ... who on earth would do something like that? <Tiptoes quietly away from thread, blushing>

And my compatibility with Dom is very high, which is even more surprising than my compatibility with Ned:

Your musical compatibility with Juror8 is Very High

Music you have in common includes Half Man Half Biscuit, The Long Blondes, Dead Kennedys, De La Soul and The Smiths.

Only music I listen to on my laptop gets scrobbled. I still listen to a lot of CDs & vinyl on my stereo, which obv don't get scrobbled. I haven't bothered to try and scrobble from my ipod. Can't be arsed really. So the music on my last.fm while roughly indicative of my music taste also includes a fair amount of music I've been checking out and don't actually like much.

Your musical compatibility with backslider is High

Music you have in common includes Swans, Sparks, Low, Minutemen and This Heat.

Your musical compatibility with big_perm is High

Music you have in common includes Current 93, Low, Minutemen, Tom Waits and Palace Music.

Your musical compatibility with Juror8 is Medium

Music you have in common includes Sparks, Nellie McKay, Tom Lehrer, Eels and The Hold Steady.

Your musical compatibility with NedRaggett is Medium

Music you have in common includes Sparks, Low, This Mortal Coil, Yellow Magic Orchestra and John Fahey.

what Colonel Poo said. i scrobble everything i play on the computer but otherwise just cannot be bothered with mp3 player/CDs in the car/stereo.

if you want to scrobble youtube plays get greasemonkey then get the youtube script from http://userscripts.org/scripts/search?q=last.fm

despite not listening to any Cure...

Your musical compatibility with NedRaggett is High

Music you have in common includes The Associates, Bobb Trimble, This Mortal Coil, Gui Boratto and Modeselektor.

if you're too lazy to look through the list of useful scripts it is http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/34012

but check the 3 or 4 pages of last.fm scripts for some good stuff.

ones I use are
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/31560 (weekly charts actually on your page ie the one you see me take screenshots of <<<< DOWNLOAD THIS)
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30191 (removes the annoying flash player)<<< Recommended
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30628
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/32179
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30870
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30447

oh and http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/10171 which is the normalised chart (based on time of tracks played)

Herman wins the last.fm obsession prize :-)

greasemonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

I recommend you get all these scripts btw

Hey if you get these scripts that improve last fm you will see why, Neil!

is there a way to get compatibility with the ILX group?

Get them to play your radio? ;)

i have no idea what a script is or how you get it to work

xp
I meant compatibility level with ILX as a group

Hmm. I was going to say: "I'm not changing my browser of choice just to run some scripts" but apparently GreaseKit could help there. We'll see. Not something I'm obsessive enough to worry about right now, certainly :p

lex if you use firefox you download greasemonkey then you go to the pages i linked for the scripts and click install. once you have done that you restart firefox and everything will work.
And if you dislike a script you just uninstall it

or do what simon suggested if you're on a mac

"I'm not changing my browser of choice just to run some scripts" but apparently GreaseKit could help there. We'll see. Not something I'm obsessive enough to worry about right now, certainly

you still searched and found out about GreaseKit didn't you? :P

Damn.

Your musical compatibility with pfunkboy is Very High

Music you have in common includes Sly & The Family Stone, Parliament, Shuggie Otis, Funkadelic and Stevie Wonder.

At work I plug my ipod into my computer so everything gets uploaded as I listen all day - I never have music actually on the computer, just on my ipod. The next day when I plug it in it wants to send the tracks I've listened to in the last whatever number of hours, which sadly includes all the stuff I listened to the day before at work, which was already scrobbled. Sure I can un-check stuff when the little dialog box pops up but it only lets you uncheck things one at a time so it's super annoying.

Seems like there has to be a way to deal with this?

hooray for that last.fm youtube scrobbling script! am now binging aon youtube videos

Everyone click on Neighbours tab and see what it says
http://www.last.fm/user/trailofgybe/neighbours

Vital Stats: (for 30) Female: 3; Male: 21; Average Age (of 19): 25.26 years

Nowt for me at the mo.

where tf does it say 'vital stats'?? did u average those yourself??

anyway my closest neighbors mostly live in poland lol

Only works if you're a suscriber I think

Seems like there has to be a way to deal with this?

If you're using a Mac, use iScrobbler as your client software? iSproggler for Windows also comes recommended, but I've no experience myself. I hated the official Last.fm client for the Mac and haven't ever gone back to it.

oh lord -- so herman PAYS to use last.fm?? lol no wonder hes so into it

Also, yeh: it's not showing any neighbours for me now. They've made a mild arse of this, haven't they?

oh lord -- so herman PAYS to use last.fm?? lol no wonder hes so into it

I subscribed for a while: I liked the additional radio options it gives you, and it's pretty cheap. Wonderfully, my subscription's lapsed but I'm still getting all the benefits.

NB to any passing Last.fm staff: remember, you work for THE MAN. Therefore, letting me have my free subscription is STRIKING A BLOW AGAINST THE MAN. Thank you.

Only works if you're a suscriber I think

neil subscribes

last fm made a load of staff redundant before xmas

Yes, I admit it. Worth it for £1.50 a month I would say.

I've just got a Spotify invite too, which is now scrobbling to last.fm!

Now it says

T-O-M: Super: 0, Very High: 11, High: 1, Medium: 0, Low: 0, Very Low: 0, Unknown: 18.
Average T-O-M value is 32.1%
Vital Stats: (for 30) Female: 3; Male: 21; Average Age (of 19): 25.26 years

you need to stay on the page for a minute before it shows

last fm made a load of staff redundant before xmas

Yeh, that's what I was getting at :(

Neighbours ... just says "Your neighbours are people with similar music taste to you. We’ll find some for you soon, but it may take a day or two. Keep listening!"

For lexpretend it says

Vital Stats: (for 30) Female: 4; Male: 18; Average Age (of 18): 22.00 years

I've just got a Spotify invite too, which is now scrobbling to last.fm!

Hmm. Can you hook me up with an invite, then? I ignored Spotify at first but I keep hearing reasonably good things about it and feel I should have a look ...

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25805 get that if you want tasteometer thingy on neighbours page

xpost: I've signed up and said: "Yo, send me an invite," but I figure it'd be quicker to ask here.

btw lol@ the lex's 2nd top neighbour

hmm the proper tasteometer is down now with everyone

We're recharging the taste-o-meter's batteries. Check back soon for your compatibility score!

"We've all been sacked by CBS. Shit. Check back soon for a picture of THE MAN waving his fetid cock at you!"
