Last played music thanks to Last.fm!

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

A long time ago I posted about Audioscrobbler. Since then it’s been rebranded as Last.fm and recently I took a new found interest in it.

As you may have noticed I now have a list of my last played songs located on (the right-hand side of my blog, my favourite tunes page) my Last.fm page. It updates every so often whenever I play a track on my computer which I think is pretty cool. It even allows some songs to be previewed through it! :)

Edit as of 28th, November 2007 – I updated the post to reflect the new place that my last played music can be found.
Edit as of 7th, July 2008 – I updated the post as now my Last.fm last played music is only available by clicking on the link which leads to my profile there.

Take That – Rule The World

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

I’ve been waiting all week for this music video to be shown on TV and I finally got to see it. It’s so good I watched it all three times it was announced it would be on. Hopefully I’ll see it more now on the music channels.

I honestly think it’s one of the best Take That songs I’ve ever heard. I felt like crying when I first heard it… the lyrics are so beautiful and romantic – they fit perfectly with the film they were written for, “Stardust”, clips of which can be seen throughout the video.

Personally I think this will do very well. Perhaps the film will give it a lot of exposure and people who perhaps would not normally think to buy a Take That song might like it enough to. I hope so. I think it deserves to do well.

Below is the music video (thanks go to the person who uploaded it and, of course, YouTube) followed by the lyrics.

Updated music!

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

I decided it was time for a bit of an overhaul where my favourite tunes are concerned.

I removed a few of the songs I had, replaced them with others and added more besides. The list was at 30 and now it’s at 50!

Favourite Tunes… continued!

Friday, June 9th, 2006

Yeah so I’ve added all the ones that were there before, and a few more besides.

There’s a few plus points to its new location too.

  • It’s easier to get to from a blog you might be visiting already than some random page
  • I no longer need to use Webjay so there’s no advertisement for the 2nd track
  • For the WordPress version I was able to add a website for the band (click Info to see it) as well as album art
  • Not as much trouble to update now

Enjoy and leave me a comment if there’s a song you’d like me to add!

Pandora

Monday, December 5th, 2005

I read about this website on a forum I visit. Pandora is basically your own personal radio station and you decide what kind of music you want to listen to. You create a station based on a song title or an artist and it finds music similar to that. Broadens your musical tastes a bit if it finds artists or songs you’ve never heard before.

You don’t have to sign up, but it’s free to do so and you get to pick 100 different stations (they only ask you for an American zip code so I went for the popular 90210). I have a few stations to go with what kind of music I feel like listening to.

Because I’ve only just started using it, my favourite song list isn’t very extensive yet but hopefully it will grow the more I listen.

I recommend the website to anyone that likes their music!

Audioscrobbler

Friday, August 5th, 2005

I’ve seen people mention Audioscrobbler on various forums I’ve visited, but I didn’t really look at the website properly until today. It’s actually quite cool. You sign up and download a plugin for your favourite music player (such as Windows Media Player or WinAmp) and it sends the information of the tracks you play to a server so it can upload them to your profile page there. Makes it very easy to share with others what kind of music you like.

Anyway, here is my profile and it has some songs I’ve been listening to recently. Thought it was well worth recommending!

P.S – Sorry the updates are infrequent. Have a lot of things on my mind lately which I’m sure I’ll talk about on here soon…
