Holy Audioscrobbler Batman!

I have been a user of Audioscrobbler for almost a year now. For those not in the know, Audioscrobbler is a site which your audio player submits track info to, and keeps track of things such as weekly top artists, weekly top tracks, as well as all time totals. Not stopping there, it created a community, giving you listings of similar music correlated from other users with similar listening tastes, as well as top charts by country, etc, etc. It had a sister site, called last.fm, which allowed you to listen to your own private radio based on your regular listening patterns.

Today, when I went to look at my profile, I noticed that it has a sleek new look and is now integrated completely with last.fm. For all those who haven’t tried it, I seriously recommend that you try it out. There are plugins for a lot of popular media players.

Last.fm discover it again for the first time.

Crazy... Or... Creative Genius? You Be The Judge

One of the reason some of my friends are so awesome is that one of us will have a crazy idea, and run with it. Maybe not in reality, but in a big long discussion on what we would end up doing.

Today, the following was thought up:

Starting up a nerd-punk band with a name like “Iain and the Stooges” (help desk individuals would understand). Which has evolved into me being singer/songwriter, my friend Jon (not you Despry) as guitarist, and other individuals of tech support filling additional spaces. We figure, there is so much BAD punk out there, that we couldn’t really do any worse.

I’m getting ideas again… and we all know what that means…
