I’m not sure if I have mentioned listening to streaming music in a previous post or not, but at this point it doesn’t matter to me. This has replaced having the television on while I write at home just for background noise. Frankly I’m happier because I get to listen to what I want instead of being at the mercy of a top 40 station or some randomized stream.
The wonderful site I have (personally) discovered is Last.fm. Yes, they have been around for awhile, but the site is new to me.
Last.fm allows you to add artists, albums, and even single tracks to ‘your’ radio station. Last.fm then streams the tracks randomly when you listen to your station. To make things even more fun, you and friends can recommend tracks to each other.
Want to hear a song more often? Click ‘Love’. How about not hearing a track ever again? Click ‘Ban’.
To me this is about the greatest service ever. To boot, it’s completely free to use.
Go to Last.fm and see what you think. If you like it, add me (dirtvoyles). Perhaps we can help each other discover some new tunes.
- Got 3 articles written this afternoon. Pretty productive. #
Last night, way to late, I finally got some photos moved from the camera to Flickr. There weren’t as many as I thought, but if you haven’t noticed, scroll down a bit and they are ready to see.
These will mostly be appreciated by friends and family as they are photos of the kids and family. We have a lot more, but these are the better ones and ones that I feel like letting out into the general public.
I can’t believe we only have one photo of the kids from Halloween. That’s what you get when dad is off running the Jaycees’ House of Horror instead of being dad. Things will definitely be different this year. Time to put the right things first.
