We are a fun little group. There's some weird stuff in there now, though!
Disclaimer: I set the whole thing up, but it mostly just sits there collecting stats. Feel free to journal!

Huh, I forgot I joined the group. I haven't been listening to much of anything though. My music hard drive went out a few months ago and I lost about 10 gigs of music so I've kinda been put out by the whole thing. I don't have anything listed under my top artists except cut copy, gwar, and matisyahu.

Man, thanks for reopening old wounds.

I used to do Pandora, but this is so much better. I feel soooo young in there (wrt number of songs listened to)... It is sad.

Bob, nice pic on your profile! Sorry about the wounds. Oh so been there.

stilicho, dontcha worry about the stuff that's on there now, it's gonna get weirder. So. :)

MeFi scrobblers are cool too!

I liked it a lot when I had a paid membership (thanks, iconomy!), but now I don't use it as much. I don't have a problem paying for the subscription, but every time I've checked, the pay process is way more demanding than other sites (like Amazon), and since I'm using a U.S. debit account that my parents keep for me (credit cards in Greece are just too expensive), it's kind of a PIA. I'm not calling my mom to get her freaking social security number. How many sites ask for your social security number? Bah.

me no pay, taz. don't see the reason yet. :)

ooohhh! oooohhh! that smell!
music does make happy! kisses to Saloniki, taz.

posted by carmina 10 January | 01:26

Saloniki is beautiful this morning, carmina!

posted by taz 10 January | 01:33

what's your user name there?

posted by taz 10 January | 01:37

I know, but I cannot find a job there. Otherwise, I would take your apartment! heh!

I am actually reading this right now, so if we wait for 50 million years, we could be neighbors by default (Athens - Thessalonika I mean)

carmina_1 (sorry...)

posted by carmina 10 January | 01:39

Okay, I've added you to my friends! also:

Your musical compatibility rating with carmina_1 is:

Very High

posted by taz 10 January | 01:43

and now I'm listening to the same channel you are. :)

posted by taz 10 January | 01:45

woooo!

Hey, I listened to Michael Nyman radio the other day on Last.fm. Some gorgeous stuff came up. Try it some time.

Are you listening real time? If not that Jeff Buckley song is... erm... I am in love!

posted by carmina 10 January | 01:52

I'm listening real time, but I skip forward sometimes, so, I guess we'll never be on the same page. Maybe we wouldn't be even if I didn't skip forward; not sure how that works.

posted by taz 10 January | 01:56

Okay, I just reopened it: Pixies now. Is that where you are?

posted by taz 10 January | 01:57

(Caribou)

posted by taz 10 January | 01:58

yeah! now jump ahead of me there. I guess you missed Jeff Buckley. So so so good. Incubus babe.

posted by carmina 10 January | 02:00

woo! I see all my friends there! helloooo!

posted by carmina 10 January | 02:03

hm... I just heard Korn, so I guess we're not synched. Flaming Lips now. Yay, Lips!

posted by taz 10 January | 02:03

well, Korn is great, but I dont know it's too early in the morn over there :)

posted by carmina 10 January | 02:07

change of mood. Care for some baroque? Getting ready to hit the sack, so nighty night tazio.

posted by carmina 10 January | 02:13

oh, no. Way too early for Korn, for sure. One reason I liked the subscription account (a lot!), is that you can make your own stations. I had one I called "morning" full of all kinds of great songs for listening from dawn - 11am. I also had a nice "grey day" channel I put together. Other people, have like, genre sorts of stations and stuff, I guess - but I had "mood" stations. :)

posted by taz 10 January | 02:16

nighty-night, sweetie.

posted by taz 10 January | 02:19

hrmm, I can see your stations... I think I would do the same as you, but named differently...

hey, they have greek msic too, but they totally gave up on genres, it's all like ... greek. to them.

posted by carmina 10 January | 02:21

Yeah, some of that weirdness might be me as well. Carmina - apparently we have a "high" compatibility - something to do with teh Defones, Wilco, Fiona Apple and Tom Waits.

I don't bother with the radio so much - just dip in and out on occaisons. I tend to leave iTunes running on my main Mac and stream it either to my laptop or my stereo. There's about 10,500 tracks on there at the moment, which keeps me going...

posted by TheDonF 10 January | 02:27

cool TheDonf! I bet I spoilt now by picking up Pachelbel, though :(

ok, nighty everyones, esp the european ones that are just wakin' up! see you tomorrow.

posted by carmina 10 January | 02:33

This European bunny has had such a crap night's sleep it's unbelievable. Hope yours is better.

posted by TheDonF 10 January | 03:04

huh. I just heard from seanyboy, and he had the same trouble, and is also exhausted. Must be a UK thing; I slept like a baby here in The Greece.

posted by taz 10 January | 03:13

I think it is a UK thing. I'm knackered too.

Ha! I wouldn't worry about it, I've had BBC Radio 4 and TED podcasts through my Last.fm deeley

UK bunnies - who do we complain to about our shared lack of sleep?

posted by TheDonF 10 January | 07:00

I think it's the Archbishop of Canterbury

I have tried twice to do last.fm, but their app constantly crashes on my computer.

posted by mischief 10 January | 12:31

I've gotten consistently good radio on last.fm by doing a tag radio on the term "canadian indie".

posted by matildaben 10 January | 12:42

taz, carmina -- no, there is no synching with last.fm radio. You're not listening to a radio station, you're listening to a randomly generated stream.

posted by stilicho 10 January | 15:13

I got yer randomly generated stream right here, buddy.

*clutches at imaginary penis, shifts it up and down a little*

posted by taz 10 January | 15:20

woah! taz. You are on a roll today!
remember, I am not a subscriber, which prolly makes it harder. Oh naws!

posted by carmina 10 January | 15:30

taz, you are a bad, bad person.
stilicho, I am very, very sorry. It's all taz's fault.

posted by carmina 10 January | 15:38

taz is giggling.

and I'm not even drinking... Blame it on the celestial seasonings wild berry zinger.
