We haven’t had a thread about it in a while, and I know a lot of the people here are members. Anyone interested in comparing compatibilities, posting stats, or just looking for new musical buddies?

My user name there is the same as here, and as of this posting, I have 72,593 scrobbles, with 7,587 unique artists, and the Paste My Taste function says I’m into female vocalists, indie, rock, folk, and singer-songwriters, including:** Sarah Fimm**, Tegan and Sara, K’s Choice, Tool, Regina Spektor, Vienna Teng, Charlotte Martin, The Beatles, PJ Harvey, VAST, Type O Negative, Thea Gilmore, Blue October, Lacuna Coil, A Perfect Circle, Placebo, The Romanovs, Wolfsheim, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Bad Religion, The Birthday Massacre, Imogen Heap, Mirah, Grand Ole Party, Pretty Balanced, Northern State, Sarah McLachlan, Eminem, Ani DiFranco, Neko Case, Rasputina, Johnny Cash, The White Stripes, Nine Inch Nails, Wolfmother, Within Temptation, The Dresden Dolls, Tori Amos, Buzzcocks, Modest Mouse, E.S. Posthumus, Amanda Ghost, Emilie Autumn, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sarah Bettens, Lennon, Pearl Jam, Iron & Wine, and Tenacious D.

That’s a huge block of my fifty most played artists, but I’ve bolded the ones that I like most to make it easier. Additionally, I am very into Marina & the Diamonds, Ladyhawke, and Florence + the Machine.

I also have a Last.FM account and, after comparison, it seems our compatibility is rather low. You also have far more scrobbles and artists. However, we both have a lot of plays for Neko Case and the Beatles.

I’ve had a last.fm account for a couple years. Unfortunately, there’s no scrobbling tool for the Palm Pre yet (and the Pre doesn’t update the “last played” data within files), so my account looks like I barely listen to music except when I am home on my computer.

If anyone wants to add me anyway, my ID is richegreen.

Most played band: Pearl Jam
Most played song: Dark on You Now by The Peanut Butter Conspiracy (during a bout of depression I was going through about a year ago, I listened to that song over and over as it perfectly complimented how I was feeling)
