Dear everyone,

I have added another little widget to our sidebar. Alongside our RSS feeds for Pandora, we now have my iScrobble.

If you are unfamiliar with what that is, get back in the mix and go here.

Sign up for an account and download the iScrobble dealie. What it does is, basically, is that through iTunes or Windows Media (yuck), whenever you play a song, it shows up in your LastFM account. Right now I’m listening to Danger Mouse/The Grey Album—so if you check out my user profile page, which is here: http://last.fm/user/stradivaribe, you should see it. It also compiles a list of your top artists, albums, and tracks. It gives you ‘neighbours’, or people with similar musical interests to you. You can write journals there, join groups, or make friends. I’ve written one journal entry about John Butler Trio, and I’m a member of 3 groups, just because I’m dorky, and I have no friends because nobody loves me.
Something else is the LastFM Radio they have. Similar to Pandora, it offers a station for every artist, and uses recommendations and a tagging system to do it. Keep in mind, if you download iScrobble, its not only a plugin for your music player that tracks your tracks, but the radio comes with it, as well as an interface to tag and favorite a particular song you may be playing.
If you’re not with LastFM, you should be. I have refrained myself from declaring “My name is Jen and I approve this message,”, although unofficially I still said it. Yay politics.
