"audioscrobbler: a cool thing to join"

[URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com[/URL]

Download a plugin for your favourite mp3 player, and audioscrobbler keeps a record of all the songs you play EVER on its website. This is good because it lets you know how cool your taste actually is, as opposed to how cool you think it is, by generating weekly and all-time charts. This is my page: [URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/unknownkernel/[/URL] I've been doing it for ages and the most I've ever listened to a song is 7 times. Surprising. And my favourite song is apparently M'Gell by Ultrakurt, which I've never heard of but turns out to be a song on a mix CD I have.

Anyway, the coolest thing is that everything is linked. Click on a song in your profile and you get a list of other people who love that tune, or listen to it a lot because they really hate it. Click on an artist and you get a list of their most popular songs. Click on a user and you see all their fave tunes, plus what they're listening to RIGHT NOW. Woo! You can also get reccommendations based on what you listen to - like amazon except that it works, and throws up things you've never heard of.

And and and you can make your own groups, and I have very cleverly made a special reserve one for you to join [URL]http://www.audioscrobbler.com/group/Special%2BReserve[/URL] Groups with 10 or more members get weekly charts, so Special Reserve would have its very own number one.

So, yes, you should all join.

Flock, did you buy a Nick Drake album or have you taken each song? Noticed you're playing a lot of the tracks from Bryter Layter.

Alexisonfire should be top with "Pulmonary Archery".

That would raise a few eyebrows, I tell thee.

It doesn't suprise me :(

Ah yes, "Give It All" at #913...

Although it's nice that Rise Against finally have a track in the top 1000.

It worries me that Boulevard Of Broken Dreams is the top track :-(

Their album's quite good - Ghosts Of The Great Highway, although most of it does sound the same[ish] so worth a try before a buy, of course.

Yep and couple more times in a row after something else.

Ah, see what you mean by 52 times, now.. That's a lot! Also I noticed Pancho Villa 5 times in a row.. :)

Does anyone else get bands disappearing off their Top Artists list?

Shouldn't they stay there forever?

Am I missing something obvious?
