Last FM

I know I'm late on this but there are just too many things to do lately between my longboarding fixation and the AMC series Mad Men. Last Fm is a social music platform that allows you to share your taste in music (as you listen to it) and discover new music. You download the platform and then as you listen to your music, it scrobbles (the process of uploading the track to your last.fm profile page) the track and displays it on your profile for all to see. It even takes the play counts from iTunes and develops charts and graphs of what you listen to most.

So while on the street you may boast that your most listened to music ranges from Pavement to Radiohead, once the charts generate what you have listened to most on your iTunes, it could fall closer to Winger or Paulo Nutini. So anyway, suffice to say I love it and you should check it out as well. If you get an account be sure to let me know so we can stalk each others music tastes.
Cheers,
John

Anna Zaytseva

My second post in 20 minutes and I thought I would bring your attention to this woman's art. Her name is Anna Zaytseva and it's fabulous, chic, and itching for you wall space. While I myself do not own a piece, it is on my to do list and I while be taking donations through paypal, if one is so inclined.

Not sure how long I'll have this

The title is the same as my url extension for my myspace page. If the myspace is any indication of how long I'll have this blog, then I may have it for longer than I think. So i am just trying this out for a bit and may start up a blog collective with two other friends where we will talk about music news, reviews, and may even branch out into culture. So stay tuned for more on that and any more posts I will publish.
Cheers,
John
