Your musical compatibility with LarkCGN is Very Low

Music you have in common includes David Bowie, The Beach Boys and Duran Duran.

WTF?! I don't think I've ever intentionally played a Duran Duran song in my life.

Last.fm is a bit ridiculous. The people I have "super" compatibility with don't really listen to the same stuff I do, and nothing that's been recommended to me has been both new and great. I've only recently stopped being conscious of scrobbler everytime I play music - I pretty much ignore my last.fm account now.

Oh yeah

Opeth
Prodigy
Dream Theatre
Generic Black Metal Band (Burzum, Satyricon, Emperor, Venom, Mayhem etc...)
Generic IDM Artist (Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares etc...)

it seems to be a lot more eager to give everyone higher compatibility ratings then it used to. my musical compatibility with goncho has suspiciously jumped from 'low' to 'very high' in the past few weeks.

me and bfd have always had a 'super' rating, though.

Fuckin' fags.

surely you were after this thread, bidders?

Oh SNAP!

The compatibility thing is a little weird, but the reccommendations have been great for me. While it might not be 'new' it's new to me, which counts. There's been some great tracks I've heard by sticking that channel on the radio thing.

the artist shoutboxes on last.fm are the greatest things evar.

metallica, elton john, cher & U2 have such bitter fanz.

Yeah, I meant new to me as well. The problem is that I don't tend to like a song because of the genre, or any general aspects of the songs themselves. I just like the way particular bands seem to do things, and it spread across a lot of genres but in a very isolated way. e.g. I absolutely adore Bedouin Soundclash and have done for years, but other indie-reggae artists make me feel like puking.

Okay, I semi- take that last comment back.
