Rolling last.fm thread 2009 no haters!

it used to be steely dan but now its kate bush for everyone

Bless Bimble for that one, P-funk

Is there anyone on ILX that actively dislikes Kate Bush?

I'm not sure I'd say actively dislike, but she does nothing for me.

i dont listen to her either

I like my weekly album collage

Get yours http://lastfm.obsessive-media.de/generator.shtml

Makes a change not having any "scrobble up" bullshit just because they dont have the album cover.

How do you search for other users with super compatibility to you? There must be a way to do this but I've searched the help and forums without luck. Thanks.

presumably your top neighbours will have super compatibility

that's the first one, which is one of the most fun rap albums ever made. new one isn't much cop, but it reminded me how much I loved the OG.

fwiw, it omited:

Pill - 4180: The Prescription
Donae'o - Party Hard
Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, & Max Roach - Money Jungle

I'm finding these confusing, though. For instance I love Pere Ubu but they're not in my top 50 overall right now. Ditto for Buddy Holly. And that Hold Steady album, I've listened to two or three times, way less than their other albums. The three month is confusing too: I listened to part of The Wall but not enough to get it on any list of mine.

Yeah, mine are always cluttered with covers of albums that I've only listened half, one time. Don't understand the algorithm.

I think its done purely from total tracks per album listened to, thereby biasing it towards albums with lots of short tracks.

think it depends what you have the album tagged as too - eg when i imported my copy of aaliyah's s/t album, itunes auto-tagged it as "aaliyah [japan]" rather than just "aaliyah", so of course its cover wouldn't show up here...

Does the scrobbler actually send metadata like tags along with the song to last.fm? I find that hard to believe. But if so, I think I'm going to read their privacy statement very soon.
