"you don't really listen to that do you?!"

mates and colleagues of mine, ben and tom, pointed me at last.fm today. after installing a small app for your default audio player (itunes for me) this thing lists all of the music that you play on your machine, and creates lists, charts and personal radio stations based upon what you're listening too. and yeah, it's free. very clever and very cool.

my favourite feature allows you to click on a track that you've listened to, and find out how many other people have listened to that track, and what percentage of the people who have listened to that artist have played that particular tune. completely useless, but addictive.

of course, the downside is that everyone can see what you're listening to. needless to say, i haven't played my grease megamix since i signed up.

if you want, take a look at the rubbish i listen to.
