So I'm using the new Last.fm client, and trying out "radio" features for the first time with it – I used it from my system tray with a right click and chose "play" and my "favorites" tag station started to play. It played 6 songs and then said something like "out of songs to play" or "not enough songs …" that sort of thing. I don't know exactly how it works, but I have tracks, albums, and artists tagged as "favorite" –not a whole bunch, but enough, on would think, that if using those things tagged favorite would bring enough…

My favorite number is "18" and my birthday is on "July 18" and so this is a nice marker to document, for me.

I saw that my number was at 17,991 this morning, and I was thinking about listening to Cinderella while I was out last night, so I looked at some of my playlists I have set up (I usually just listen to albums) and I did have exactly what I needed, a favorite list of the Cinderella tracks I have:

The More Things Change…

July 4th in America (USA) is exactly two weeks before my birthday. It is so in other countries as well, but not as significant as it is in the USA.

Why is it significant? I have always viewed the Fireworks and festivities of Indendence Day to be the kick-off of a two-week pre-birthday bash in my honor. I am not really that narccisistic, I'm talking of an internal visualization of knowing and experiencing it, not promoting it externally really, just talk of it here and there, not actuality of me claiming absolute rights thereof. It's just a fine fantasy world,…

Beta Last.fm looks so different, Shiny … maybe good, it's glitzy, that's for sure. I've spent the last 10 or so minutes looking at it, from My Dashboard, all the tabs, then to my beta.profile and the look continues on there. I do like the "tabs". The album covers are interesting and would be a nicer feature if more obscure artists had album covers shown. I had to record my thoughts on this since I am overwhelmed at the changes.

What I have wanted out of this is better "charts" and they seem to be in the making now, with…

On Jan. 29 I wrote a post since I hit the 10,000 mark that day. Today I hit 12,000, and that's not many in that time between 10 and 12. I mean it's 2,000 songs, not shabby, but I've been playing with broadband content of video sorts and streaming XM radio since I got a new laptop with WMCE as well as Dh getting XM recently, so I'm able to play around with videos and XM on my laptop, it can rove around the house with me, when before I was stuck with a big desktop in one place, which…

I had a phase between Vinyl and CD's when I bought some tape cassettes, well it was not between exactly, more like overlapping those two mediums. I was a die hard vinyl lover, despised cassettes as the medium to buy in, only used it to make a copies of my albums for portability and making mixed tapes, favorites, etc.

I was slow to getting into CD's since I loved vinyl and didn't see the need to jump into CD's since they would be around a long time if they panned out into a decent product. Of course they did, I…

snagged idea from elsewhere, twisted it to use my last.fm profile top tracks

1. List the fifth line from the 10 most popular songs on your playlist (top tracks on my last.fm profile)

Show me how you do it
It took so long to find you
You’re such a strange girl
If you believe in my hope
We try to escape every day from this cell
Someone’s child you’d never meet
Don’t You know, don’t You know
Again and again
The where to go the who to see
Now I realize, my darkened skies, won’t shine without Your light

I have reached the 10,000+ listens mark today. I'm currently listening to Starfish which I finally decided to digitized from vinyl today.

This is the only album of theirs I have ever bought, it's one of those alternative sorts of things that the mid-to-late 80's enticed me into, but I didn't follow to future releases even though I thorougly loved particular albums, such as this one from The Church.

Last week I bought this, but only burned it into my computer today. I have the 99x Live X most recent release, 10 Recent and Relived (Roman Numerals for 10 used which I can't create in this post …. 2 sets of 1's in groups of five.) Named: Recently & Relived, a 2-CD release.

Disc 1 - Recently:

Beastie Boys - Right Right Now Now
Garbage - I'm Only Happy When it Rains
Snow Patrol - Run
Jimmy Eats World - Work
The Shins - Gone For Good
Kasabian - L.S.F.
Keane - Somewhere Only We Know
Kings of Leon…
