Join Me On Last.FM

I’m always on the lookout for fresh new music as well as reminiscing about oldskool stuff too. Most of the time I have either Hed Kandi radio playing during the day, or a bit of Radio 1 if I fancy it but I have come across something much better.

http://last.fm is an intelligent online radio station. Once you have registered, you can enter artists that you like and Last.fm will play you tracks from those artists as well as from producers in a simmilar genre and style. This is very much in the same way that Pandora used to work but Last.fm have the whole social networking thing attached too making it easy for you to share your favourite tracks and create playlists from the music that you like.

One downside is that not all of the music is avaiable at the same volume, so you will find yourself reaching for that dial quite a few times. But the major plus side is that Last.fm will learn the music that you like and over time it will start to suggest better and better tracks for you to listen to. You get to discover new music in the genre that you like that you might not have heard of before!

I’m quite new to the Last.fm thing and I probably havent checked out all of the features, but on the face of it its pretty damn good. Go and take a listen now. Its free and you might just discover a few jems of audio delight that you never knew existed!
