because suddenly i love it so it deserves its own thread
how about that!
the first day i signed up i had 26000 tracks played and a new friend.
now i have 3 friends (HI FRIENDS) and my two closest neighbors are german males.
i am listening to MQa’s radio station. he is my second closest neighbor.
i also have 2 turkish neighbors. that’s fun, huh?
i have sexy neighbors:



weekly charts are calculated between sunday and monday Greenwich Mean Time
what will it look like???
my neighbors are buildings:


berlin buildings!
<3 my neighbors <3
oh hey i have some recently played now! because of my neighbor. pretty good list too, huh?
! YaY i love last.fm !
your weekly charts populated
lol uffie is one of my “top artists”
one of your neighbors is the friend of one of my neighbors
now i am listening to my neighbor’s neighborhood
^good idea for good ideas
another thing i like about listening to last.fm radio is the artist info/bio that appears when a song is playing.
i now know that MIA is lithuanian and that tiefschwarz is 2 brothers. interesting!
i got a new friend :):):)
(it is w2lter)
tiefschwarz is 2 brothers
two sucky brothers
the one i heard was okay though
well then
i would see them live if they ever came, for sure
our compatibility is now very high
it makes me laugh to click on your page and see
jergins
Very High
today i have all new neighbors. one of them is:
jergins
Super
and i am your top neighbor!
jergins
Very High
...
i wonder, will lxy delete her track history?
words of wisdom from the last.fm forums regarding neighbors:
25 Jan 2008, 20:53 The neighbors take into account much more than your top 3; I think it dips into the top 100 or more. Some of my neighbors don’t match any in the top ten but ALOT in the 10–100 range.
time after time i read “rhymeswithpixie’s shoutbox” as “rhymeswithpixie’s shoebox”.
i really want to see my last.fm shoebox.
i add u
xox
it is kind of broken tonight ;_;
how so?
(it does break sometimes)
it fixed itself, and it remembered what i listened to while it was broken :)

It ranks your top artists by how many minutes you have spent listening to them, rather than how many different tracks. Then it even tells you how your rankings have changed. So, for me, Stars of the Lid (looong tracks) bumped up ten spots, and Cassetteboy (many short tracks per album) dropped down 24 spots. Pretty cool.

i got IDM spam in my shoebox
gross
fyi i have a V open mind.
walcome, wilter!
HI!
I haven’t scrobbled much lately — I feel dirty.
do! it is v v v awesome!

am0n’s weed beats don’t show in my recently played list b/c of bad tags or some shit like that. lame.
i have been having the ‘bad tags’ thing more often lately. i don’t think the tags are bad, i think there’s something wrong with last fm
it’s because they don’t hire the right kind of people
(but i still love last.fm even so)
:[ probably cuz i put artists name in with song title and “v/a” for artists name
i think jergins is right... a lot of stuff i played over the last few days didn’t show up.
i forgot this one


Due to datacenter power issues beyond our control, we’re trying to power Last.fm on a greatly reduced set of servers this weekend.
Please bear with us as we scramble to catch exploding DC/AC inverters... stay tuned, we’ll be restoring regular service as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
:(
Please bear with us: you may experience site strangeness this weekend due to power issues.
they should have hired me b/c they need a better writer. but i still love last.fm.
(someone at work called me “the writing genie” yesterday.)
NO DATA HAS BEEN LOST! Your scrobbles are safe.

OMG I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE DAY
LAST.FM SROBBLED MY IPOD PEOPLE
by itself, or did you figure out a way to make it happen?
DL’d new srobbler, new itunes, new ipod soft update
free downloads via last.fm (including new john tejada)
what?:
Ellen Allien – Washing Machine Is Speaking—10d, 17h and 16m ago
Tiefschwarz – Acid Soul—2d, 0h and 11m ago
double-scrobble

last.fm says re. sascha funke:
a kind of techno that sways between the polarity of emotional overload and concrete rationale – hence immediacy, which is what sascha funke is all about.
i say:
errr.
Events by this artist near you:
Barraca, Valencia, Spain
Metro, Chicago, United States
Columbiahalle, Berlin, Germany
dear last.fm, please define “near”
you’re worldwide, girl
oh wow weekly charts update automatically now. i guess i read that somewhere but still it’s strange to see max richter on my top artists of the week and i only just got the record this morning.
lxy who was the artist?
richie hawtin, i think.
he’s in portland at the end of august. i think it might be a weekday

not scrobbling, radio jumpy


plunky are you manual scrobbling since auto scrobbling isn’t working?
it’s all working. what?
mine is not scrobbling
Dean Meredith needs no introduction; he is of course one of the founding members of the ever so consistent Chicken Lips.
play your player, player

^^^ goldilocks & the three bears joke
funny how i have been composing a post in my head along the lines of “don’t even consider calling me ‘mama bear’ i will not think twice to ban you” but i would have no qualms about calling lil lingy ‘baby bear’
i guess that’s why they call them moderator priveleges
nah but youd be baby bear in the scenario do u see? papa bear = porridge too hot, mama bear = porridge too cold, little bear = porridge just right
anyway my actual music compatibility with u is “MEDIUM” which means i should be bff w/ jergins
oh shit that’s right! (i never was good at nursery rhymes which caused my mother great concern for some reason.)
well then. i get called a baby all the time so never mind, carry on, let’s forget this ever happened.
Your musical compatibility with AdmiralLingbert is LOW
is this why you won’t let him move in with you and your parents?
my last.fm radio is wonderful, but it’s not perfect because guess what it just played:
washing up....Tomas Andersson....0
this song gives me the creeps and i never want to hear it again ever. i had to lock the door while listening to it... that’s how much it freaked me out. i think i’d rather listen to the animal collective than this.
— lxy (lxy), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 05:12
i permabanned it.
why would ur (lack of) nursery rhyme ability have anything to do with a _fairy tale_
*smdh*
see, i don’t even know the difference.
also, you KNOW i don’t know what smdh stands for.
god this thread is really making me seem like a bright shining star, huh?
LOL it stands for shakin my damn head <3 <3 <3
i don’t know what max’s last.fm name is so i feel violated
get over it
Your musical compatibility with getoverit is Unknown
it stands for shakin my damn head
seriously? jesus.
haha joachim speith invited me to be his friend.

here are top played songs:
Kings of Leon—Sex on Fire
CINDY LAUPER- I DROVE ALL NIGHT
Kardinal Offishall ft. Akon—Dangerous

top played of who?
those aren’t yours
at the website
thats not a terrible list tho
yeah, that’s what was confusing: 3–4 of those are in lxy’s library but lord knows she isn’t gonna play cyndi lauper
but lord knows she isn’t gonna play cyndi lauper

not gonna play captain lou, either
lord, no

haha my new friend left me a funny shout cause i’ve been listening to his library today:
quite a complement by the libary your listening too!


synching the ipod only every 2 months doesn’t make for very interesting scrobbling
this means:
a) i should remember to plug it in
b) i need new songs

hello i am adding you so that we can be friends because it does not appear we will ever be neighbors!
hi i accept
there are a few things last.fm could do better one of them is letting you accept a friend request w/o having to go to your email
or possibly make it more obvious how this is done because i cannot find how to do it
“A pan-pot is a simple, workaday knob, given to side-to-side flip-flopping and not much else. Pan-Pot, on the other hand, are a brilliantly multidimensional Berlin duo currently twisting house and techno fans into rapturous fits.”
check out this friend request:
BeatlesFanno1 (Avi and Maria, 21, Male)
wants to be your friend
Your musical compatibility with BeatlesFanno1 is Low
it’s an ilxor, but who>?
did you figure you who your new friend is
no clue

i was befriended by a german male called WhitePerson but i am reluctant to accept because i am put off by his user name. is this wrong of me?
also i find his picture off-putting, if not frightening:

ignore
someone summarize the new last.fm thread. why are there 300 new answers or whatever?
uhhhh have u ever been on ilm before
isn’t it just like a chat thread between pfunkboy and someone else now? i stopped bothering with it a while ago
it really pisses me off when my ipod doesn’t scrobble
give it time
i wish itunes radio stations would scrobble
aah
you can change how quickly your plays are scrobbled:
open the AS window (the thing you always do and that i never do, you know, the red dot)
select tools
select options
select scrobbling
then you can change your preferences. mine is set at 0.
only 4 songs scrobbled this time boo!
at fucking last: 307 scrobbles from myPod
(for better or worse, probably half of them were mountaingoats lol)
i like how this makes no sense

like this autobio. zntn:
‘I was mostly a rock type, going to shows weekly, buying demo tapes, fanzines and everything linked to the music community. This began my vinyl craze.
From this background I started making mix-tapes and obsessing about concepts like flow, and already near the turn of the century came the ever growing electronic side of things, first from synth pop, ambient and electro until finally admitting (not easily) I actually enjoyed house and techno—mostly on the DIY, primitive and raw side of it which I compare with rock aesthetics.
Boy Crisis
30,781 plays scrobbled on Last.fm
Boy Crisis is an American Proto-Post Popular Music Band from the United States following the Rhythm & Blues Tradition of such classic acts as The Ronettes and New Edition. Combining the “shock and awe” brute force of late-stage capitalism arena rock and hair glam with the aesthetics of the manufactured Boy Band, this Brooklyn-based American five-some carry on the Great Western Tradition of cultural appropriation in an attempt to forge at least some semblance of interpersonally translatable empathy and compassion and at most, true love.
at most, true love
lol according to my last.fm we listened to that mark e mix 10 times!
(i deleted 9 of them so it doesn’t look like that any more.)
You’ve listened to Gabriel Ananda 14 times before and Ihre Persönliche Glücksmelodie 4 times before.
look at that url! it is a miracle!!
Last.fm user ‘xTILTx’ would like to add you to their friends list
lol + awesome:
michael jackson is the most listened to artist for the last week for 2 of my last.fm member groups: minimal techno and mnml. he is 2nd most listened to for kompakt members.
that is cute. glad he crosses over for those people
scrobbled 1059
i am a lot in love with this picture
