Time to face the cold hard facts Linus

Facts faced: I've downloaded the player, and I like it lots better. Thanks to you for bringing it to my attention, and the nation and people of Micronesia for bringing it to the internet!!

The Gastr del Sol radio station is bee's tits!

Cratzig. I gave up on Pandora for a while because it was fucking up for me in Mac Firefox. Went back tonight and it's working again, then opened this thread by chance because the title was curious. Yowsers.

So okay. But if I point out that there is now a way to integrate Pandora with last.fm here: http://pandorafm.real-ity.com/ - how many different kinds of sucked off do I get, exactly?

The Silkworm station threw a bunch of slick pop-punk at me before I smacked it around a bit and told it to behave. I never thought I would find the Afghan Whigs an improvement over something else, but you know, we have to be all open to new experiences

Crapp.

last.fm is vexing me -- in a fit of narcissism i looked myself up on their site. i was there - ok, great. i take a look at the tracks - just dandy.... until i get to a group of them that are titled "(first name redacted) hench party mix #1", "(first name redacted) hench party mix #2", etc...

there's no way for me to listen to these mp3s and there's no way for me to track down who has these mp3s. i can't think of any possible circumstance in which i would make something called "party mix #1, " let alone a situation where i would make 6 of them.

it's freaking me out a little bit. like maybe i had a blackout and randomly distributed party mixes to strangers or something. last.fm, wtf?

Have you thought that maybe there is an electronic artist named Hench? last.fm just reads off the tag properties for the file someone's listening to, and Hench is a five letter word... I think the chances that someone else, maybe just some tiny unknown independent techno artist, goes by the name Hench are alright.

Although, I like the idea of creating a really successful dance album and forgetting I made it overnight.

That station was more or less my introduction to John Fahey

yeh -- i know that there's a UK-based grime artist who goes by hench... it's more that each track is called "(my first name, which is not that common) hench party mix..." -- there's not a lot of people out there with my name. seems really weird.

I was going to make a topic on this but I figured to check the archives...

I love this site. I got to hear some pretty cool stuff from some australian guy named chris smith.

Plus I can listen to it at work

If you get songs you don't like and give them two thumbs down the artist becomes banned from the station.
