So I’ve had a last.fm account for like two or three years now, and basically I think it’s the coolest thing ever. Most of you know what it is, but I’m gonna refresh your memory. If you just leave it on, it takes into account every fucking thing you listen to on basically any audio program, and produces what ultimately becomes AMAZINGLY tailored recommendations, based on the shit you like. In the past two years last.fm has given me: The Durutti Column, Psychic TV, Kitchens of Distinction, 500won Project, and today, another–Lovesliescrushing. Even when I BARELY listen to anything via audioscrobbler for like, months, Last.fm will still come up with shit like this. How the hell is it gonna know that I’m gonna want to hear this insanely mellow shoegaze stuff when I’ve only MAYBE played like 20 tracks in the past two weeks, from shit like Big Black, Nancy Sinatra, and the A-Frames?
The A-Frames – Experiment
Lovesliescrushing – Lips To Kiss
Amazing, seriously. Go to their myspace page and listen to the Leonard Cohen cover. And then thank audioscrobbler for another good save in the world of “I deleted the /private directory on my powerbook and can’t get it to boot up again.” Cause thats what happened to me, and they’ve come through for me yet again.
