No, I just dislike the Little Mermaid.

That's the song I was thinking about.

Such a beautiful song. :')

Riva 02-06-2007 07:23 PM

Heh, that song is brilliant. Lewis Carrol was a great author. Brilliant sense of rhythm. [I]Jabberwocky[/I] is a great piece of poetry.

TojesDolan 02-06-2007 07:24 PM

I know. The "R in March" reference is excellent.

Riva 02-06-2007 07:28 PM

Also, I love in the Simpsons how Homer always tries to solve problems by living under the sea. :p My friends and I think it not only references [I]The Little Mermaid[/I] but also [I]The Spy Who Loved Me[/I], a James Bond movie where the villian wants to create paradise under the sea.

Oh Awesome. I know, that's why I love that song as well, I picture Homer eating all the seaworld, heh.

Jacaranda 02-10-2007 12:33 PM

I hate the new radio stuff its too much on my page, wish I could remove it and the play buttons on all my stuff.

the2stranger 02-10-2007 12:34 PM

My top 10 hardly changes because of I listen to mostly funeral doom.
:lol:

Neoteric 02-10-2007 12:35 PM

So you listen to the same 10 bands? @__@

the2stranger 02-10-2007 12:36 PM

No. :p

But FD bands usually have so many long songs that they never end up in my top 10. I rarely listen to anything else. so nothing changes there.

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:37 PM

No but Funeral Doom songs are like, required to be at least 45 minutes long.

Apocalypticon 02-10-2007 01:33 PM

I'm considering reseting my stats once I get to 10k tracks. Yes or no? Discuss.

Tyler 02-10-2007 01:35 PM

I reset when I hit about 15,000. Only reset if your tracks don't accurately reflect your taste anymore.

Apocalypticon 02-10-2007 01:36 PM

Thats the main reason I'm thinking of doing it. My list is to over populated with bands I haven't listened to since last spring.

Permanent Solution 02-10-2007 01:39 PM

I've always thought if your list doesn't reflect your tastes well anymore that's just a good challenge to listen to more music that does...oh well.

Plus truth be told charts will always be weighted towards bands with lots of short songs as opposed to bands with a few short ones so charts can't be taken too too seriously.

Dr. Jake Destructo 02-10-2007 01:46 PM

It seems like an absurd idea, but I wonder how hard it would be to clock how many hours/minutes you listen to a band.

Tyler 02-10-2007 01:47 PM

Yet some bands, like Diabolical Masquerade, get completely shat on. Their "Death Design" album is split into 116 or so segments, so some of them are so short that they don't get scrobbled. I feel like there should be a "time" chart, or something.

Honestly, to have it say like, "listened to 5 hours of Opeth this week"

/beaten by Jake.

It couldn't be too hard to implement.

Apocalypticon 02-10-2007 01:48 PM

yeah see thats the problem I've been getting more into post-rock and I've always been big on folk/neofolk/ambient and BM which means I'm gonna be listening to alot mor 7 song 1 hour albums, than if I were listening to a 9 song 40 minute thrash album.

And I don't want to listen to music just to get it on my profile, I wanna listen to music cause its what I feel like listening to.

Tyler 02-10-2007 01:50 PM

[QUOTE]And I don't want to listen to music just to get it on my profile, I wanna listen to music cause its what I feel like listening to.[/QUOTE]

last.fm always corrupts that idea, seemingly, ha.

Dr. Jake Destructo 02-10-2007 01:52 PM

Yeah definitely. Sometimes I'll leave my computer whilse listening to an album and just let it play through...

"Meh, they need the bump on my last.fm." :p

Tyler 02-10-2007 01:56 PM

I've left it on sometimes just to make up for my iPod plays, like, I'll make a playlist. Eventually I'll have to bite the bullet and attempt scrobbling my iPod though.

Apocalypticon 02-10-2007 01:57 PM

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo;14176684]Yeah definitely. Sometimes I'll leave my computer whilse listening to an album and just let it play through...

"Meh, they need the bump on my last.fm." :p[/QUOTE]

I do the exact same thing. I'll go eat supper or something while leaving my computer running just in an attempt to make my charts seem more equal.

publicastration 02-10-2007 01:57 PM

I do that sometimes too. :lol:

But it's good, it sometimes forces me to listen to different stuff than normal.

Dr. Jake Destructo 02-10-2007 01:58 PM

Oh yeah, I've done that too.

And you do not have the plugin deal that last.fm has for iPods?

Tyler 02-10-2007 01:59 PM

I'd never skew my charts. My old ones were, so that's why I reset them. My top play was PTH at like, 2000 plays, and the second highest was like 300. Actually, that was pretty accurate...most of those plays were around the time that I started getting demos from Kezia, hah.

But seriously, I dont see a problem with trying to make-up for lost plays that I listened to on my iPod, but leaving it on just to try to balance out your charts is stupid. Just reset the bloody things.

[QUOTE]

It's not official, so I was weary. The official client should have iPod support soon, apparently.

Apocalypticon 02-10-2007 01:59 PM

Sometimes I get the feeling I'm addicted to last.fm.

Tyler 02-10-2007 02:00 PM

Since the update before the last, I find their recommendation system to be totally useless. I used to use it a lot.

Dr. Jake Destructo 02-10-2007 02:01 PM

[QUOTE]But seriously, I dont see a problem with trying to make-up for lost plays that I listened to on my iPod, but leaving it on just to try to balance out your charts is stupid. Just reset the bloody things.[/QUOTE]

But then you don't have cool massive playcounts. :p

Apocalypticon 02-10-2007 02:02 PM

I never use their recommendation system. Because they keep recommending me crappy BM bands like Cradle of Filth and Deathspell Omega and annoying indie bands like Modest Mouse. Their rating systems and compatibilty system seem really off alot of the time.

Dr. Jake Destructo 02-10-2007 02:04 PM

Yeah, the one time I used the reccomendation system, it went something like this:

"Oh, we see that Hot Cross was your third highest played artist last week, why dont you try some....MORE HOT CROSS!"

:rolleyes:

Tyler 02-10-2007 02:05 PM

I don't even know how people can have upwards of 300 plays for an artist a week and still have like, the second and third plays at over 50. I'm on the computer 24/7 and I'm always listening to music and my charts rarely push 40.

[QUOTE]Unique Artists: 20
Total Tracks: 164
Total Plays: 171[/QUOTE]

Which results in

[QUOTE] 1 ▲19 Converge 26
2 ▲47 Against Me! 16
3 ▲1 The Dillinger Escape Plan 15
3 Burn To Black 15
5 Propagandhi 14
6 ▲43 Prince 13
7 ▲6 Clutch 12
8 ▲12 Sigh 11
9 Protest The Hero 10
10 Common 9 [/QUOTE]

That was a slow week, but still.

I use last.fm to keep track, not to impress people. I think people that try to bloat their charts are not only missing the point, but they're compromising the music on top of that.

And their recommendation system [I]used[/I] to be great.

publicastration 02-10-2007 02:07 PM

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo;14176716]Oh yeah, I've done that too.

I don't have an iPod.

I have an iAudio. :cool:

And Apple stole the "i" thing from Cowon btw, not the reverse.
