    last.fm

    I just wanted to share my new favourite site with you all.

    www.last.fm

    You download a thingy and it keeps track of what you listen to and then in gives you recommendations and compiles lists and what not. The thingy also gives you info about what you listen to, like artist info and such.

    I have found a shit load of awesome new music after just two weeks.

    I go by fourDegrees over there if you want to check me out and become friends.

    Happy scrobbling

    Sounds just like an internet radio station called Pandora (http://pandora.com) that I use. It's great!
    Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
    The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

    Yeah, I use Pandora. I wouldn't have found The Red Chord, Thinking Plague or Squarepusher without it!

    It has the feature of pandora for free, and there is much much more.

    I myself couldn't stand the slow pace of pandora. I prefer they way last.fm is designed. I just click to the artists I like and it shows a list of similar stuff.

    The biggest difference though is that pandora is based on "expert" opinions whilst last.fm is based on the community.

    i love you el_boss.

    their classic rock random selection sorta blows (some AWFUL songs and bands in there...) but this service is just ten times better than Pandora, and i've already found a new band that i like through this.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Just want to recommend some cool bands that I have found.

    Eels - Beautiful Freak - Good chill music. Alternative/indie rock

    The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium - Very energetic music, the singer kind of sounds like Björk but I like it.

    Dredg - El Cielo - Prog/alternative rock

    Muse - Absolution - Chill alternative rock

    Sphongle - Tales of the Inexpressible - Weird psychedelic electroic music
