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
― BIGrack HOOSein Obama (k3vin k.), Saturday, 24 January 2009 05:23 (fifteen years ago) link
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 DartsAlexander Tucker - SuperherderCinerama - Sly Curl

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!

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.

Don't feed him. Bit disappointing if Spotify is removing bands like King Crimson. Though I daresay it's fripp who is behind it. Did he not give permission but the label did and he's got it removed? Or does he own it all now? I doubt Spotify put it up without anyones permission.

Discipline accepts no reason for artists to assign the copyright interests in their work to either record company or management by virtue of a 'common practice' which was always questionable, often improper and is now indefensible blah blah etc etc.

On a lark (lalalala) I joined last.fm and hopped onto the ILX group. Tho I'm afraid I'm gonna mess up the numbers since I only really listen to "new" music on my laptop and play older stuff on my iPod + streamed through my xbox. So we'll see.
