Last.fm

I love Last.fm in an anoraky-circlejerky kind of way.

I don't care that the owners of the site probably sell the details of my scrobbles to a giant advertising agency, in order for them to rigorously profile me and shove me into a niche demographic - all it takes is a cheeky day spent listening to 50's Gospel Music to change computer game and iPhone adverts into Stena stairlift ones.

I find this all of little matter when I get a small 5cm x 5cm table that details everything I have listened to since 2.34pm, 26th April 1982. I also like the way the artists you think you have been listening to often differ to those you have actually been listening to.

Here's mine: http://www.last.fm/user/oojimaflop, feel free to add me as a friend do we can both perve upon and judge each other's music tastes.

Chow! x
