Sep. 27th, 2007 09:26 amHave I mentioned that I'm falling in love with lastfm.com? It's the site where you type in the name of a musician, and then they first play a song from that musician, and then start playing what they consider to be similar artists.
It's a wee bit insane sometimes ("You like Kate Bush! Therefore you must like Madonna! And Blondie!"), but they've got a big catalog: I plugged in Yoko Kanno a week ago and spent three days listening to Japanese film music.
What REALLY sold me is when I discovered they have comedy, too. Oh my god. This morning I plugged in "Eddie Izzard", and it's taken me from Billy Connolly to an excerpt from the LP version of 'Life of Brian'. Yum yum yum.
