PISCES REPRESENT

― open wide, come inside, it's apple butter (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, January 21, 2009 5:05 AM (11 hours ago)

why hello dere

god, ilx has terrible taste

ilx is way too mainstream

You would include yourself within that subset of ILXors who use last.fm, though, Lex? I mean, an aggregate based on last.fm's rather contentious method of calculation hardly gives an accurate representation of the ILM hive mind.

also terrible taste /= stuff you don't like

I rock, Lex sucks :-)

the lex rocked out last week remember!

if you look at the similarity cloud between the lex and I it says INDIE
http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/compare.php?user1=trailofgybe&user2=lexpretend&type=overall

I am not as indie as the lex and I am APPALLED that last fm thinks I am.

haha i was just about to say, the lex is going to love those group charts
lex you listened to the new animal collective, right? is in on yr last.fm or was it elsewhere?

jeez, am i the only one here to not hear it yet?

I haven't heard it and don't care to.

yeah, ordinarily i wouldn't want to hear it either, but i gotta admit i'm kind of curious now. ilx hive-mind strikes again!

I thought the ilx hive-mind hated it?
or are you talking about the ilxors republic of hive-mind?

yeah, the idea of ilx as this sorta all-engulfing taste-making organism.

ewwwww.

Well at least with the lex you can never accuse him of being part of the ilx hive-mind.
But I don't see how there can be a hive-mind really when ilx can never agree on anything!

except Radiohead (j/k).

Nah, the ads-in-songs thing is about Spotify, not Last.fm. As you were.

Oh righto. sorry about that, must have skimmed something.

Now it makes more sense.

This is getting to the point where I need to drop a "Use other words please."

i dont get it

bimble needs muppet help lol
go to http://www.last.fm/music/Robin/+images/16492499 and vote NO on the crappy rockabilly band pic

and vote YES on muppet robin http://www.last.fm/music/Robin/+images/22016311

Hey I like autechre. Well, some of their stuff. Some gets grating.

― Trayce

Trayce I already added you, long time ago I might add!

I posted on leee's shoutbox today and the only other post was by trayce I think

This is getting to the point where I need to drop a "Use other words please."

yeah, but i started it.

Im still lost. Please explain.
(who was it aimed at?)

Ned. (i keed)

the compiling of these top albums collages seems a bit illogical - there are things in mine i'm sure i've only listened to once...

"Yeh, I'm on Last.fm too!" now officially a pub-conversation starter. (Further field study obviously important.)

Were you drunk?

I've decided the next step is that last.fm should scrobble You Tube.

if you have windows/firefox/greasemonkey/scrobble-youtube-script then it does!

I now have a high rating with Autumn Almanac.

Pretty much thanks to Genesis and TISM.

Holy shit, what a screen name, dude. If we had a poll for screen names, I'd vote "Bored of Canada". Well done.

btw i would not ride for youtube scrobbles. i tend to use youtube a lot for embarassing stuff i do not want in my library, plus i click links from idiot friends a lot

So, I just reset my play count. I was out of hard drive space for about a year, then got a new laptop, uploaded all my newer CDs to join the old ones in the library (about 1800 discs) and figured I'd reset my plays and start fresh, since I haven't scrobbled actively for about a year.

My first three plays on iTunes shuffle:

Ghostface - Poisonous Darts
Alexander Tucker - Superherder
Cinerama - Sly Curl

Add me!

See, these were the kinds of words of warning I might have hoped for. If Last.fm can scrobble You Tube, so what? Just because heroin is supposed to make me feel good, does that mean I should do it? I think not!

I think so.

xpost

Last.fm is above all, embarassing. Pappa Wheelie had a good quote about it in one chat I had with him recently, he said that last.fm was (these are his exact words, I wrote it down) "just a window into now, nothing more. It doesn't represent my expertise, but it represents my current lifestyle."

Dude summed up last.fm right there. Did you know that Fleetwood Mac are supposedly playing without Christine McVie? That is a disaster!

Moral of the story is: Am I supposed to feed every band/genre into the last.fm library that I've liked in the past just because I can? Or can the world leave me alone and let me listen to whatever I happen to feel comfortable listening to right now, hip standards be damned? I mean seriously, life is too stressful enough without worrying what the world might think of the current snapshot of whatever music you want to put in your life at that moment. Who cares?

Anyway, back to the goth, then.

yeah i xpressed my hate about this thread earlier but dumbasses prevail

the dumbasses on this thread don't actually give a shit about others snarking on our taste.

true thank you for spelling it out Disco/Very (Roz)

If you're embarrased about the interwebs knowing what you listen to now then why are you listening to it.
