Ok so I've been using Last FM for the last week, and what do i think? Well out of all the social networking websites i signed up for, I have been using Last FM the most, in terms of newness, as I previously was on facebook prior to taking this course.
On programs like twitter, once i have updated my status and read what others have recently updated, i'm over it. However with Last FM however, i tend to keep listening song after song. Chances are if i start with one artist i like e.g. Bloc Party, as i did earlier today, I will be listening to a lot of songs i already know, that are considered similar to them. Which is great! But in addition to listening to familiar songs, you also get to listen to similar songs by similar artists. This is also great, I'm now currently listening to songs that I've never heard before and most of them i like immediately. Normally when i hear a song i like by a band i don't know, i usually try to listen to other songs by that artist, to get an idea of other songs that they sing. It's basically how i build my musical interests. I'm always looking for something new listen to. If i like the song, then it's likely to be on repeat for the next few weeks, even months on my itunes.
What can i say i love music, who doesn't and a program that allows me to listen to music by artists that i may not be familiar with, but are similar to ones i do know and i love, then i'm most likely going to love it to.
