The Syndicate

It's all in the thread title.

I ask because it'd be neat to see your pages to get a taste of your tastes.

Like this

Yes I do, but in the past year I've been struggling to keep an accurate statistic of my listens, because the mobile app completely stopped working... and I only noticed after six months... and listening on mobile, then going on my computer to scrobble the same thing is dumb and time-wasting...

I totally used to do that nonsense about 6 years ago. THE CHARTS MUST BE PERFECTLY ACCURATE.

I used to be absolutely obsessed with last.fm (2005-2012 or so?), but I since deleted my scrobbles and stopped using it. :P

Mine is http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23 I've had it for a while, had a period of not using it but have been using it again pretty regularly since 2013, so my artist list on there is a fairly accurate representation of my tastes. I scrobble from Spotify which I do most of my listening on (every once in a while pandora if I want to hear certain stuff but it gets really old). JJJ, we have super compatibility

I see lots of indie rock overlap.

Here is mine, I don't check it super often but it mostly works on its own.

I never fail to notice that JJJ has a few New Zealand artists in his rotation.

Ironically, I probably don't. Well, Brooke Fraser. So one. But that's partly because I grew up learning piano with her.

One of my longest-known Internet chums, a mutual chum of Sloonei, is a New Zealander and mega music enthusiast. He introduced me to a ton of New Zealand artists that I may have never otherwise discovered, and some of them are among my absolute favorites. Crowded House/Split Enz (anything Finn brothers really), Bic Runga, and Shihad are all awesome, and it doesn't end there.

Crowded House/Split Enz = beyond awesome.

I have Medium to Low compatibility with everyone, so far. Oh well, the price of patricianism, I suppose.

I have one. Same username as here. I listen to a lot of different music.

Same.

Both of us have The National as all time most played artist

I've not scrobbled in ages, but my name is Sloonei.

Physician, knock thyself out.

For a year in which my listening mood took a nose dive and the last.fm mobile app crapped out on scrobbli- hey wait a minute, I already mentioned this:

Anyway, for a year like this, this statistic still looks decent enough.

Hey, that's neat.

I just saw this thread again and redownloaded the scrobbler. The website has changed mightily since last I used it.

Hey we have super compatibility too It's all that Radiohead and the National... and Radical Face, NMH, Sigur Rós, all pretty high up there. I never could get into the White Stripes though.

BTW, for anyone who uses Spotify, you don't need the separate scrobbler app, there's a preference in spotify where you put in your lastfm account and it scrobbles for you. There's also a chrome extension that can work automatically on sites like pandora, soundcloud, bandcamp, even youtube, etc. etc. (and can be disabled if you don't want to scrobble from a certain site)

I knew I remembered someone else around here listening to Radical Face.

If I'd kept tracking myself in the gap between scrobbles, Radiohead would probably have overtaken The White Stripes as my top artist, and Radical Face would probably also be vying for a top spot. I've been in a nothing-but-Radiohead mood since the summer (Hence this thing I'vd been working on).

Yeeaah I just saw that post! Looking forward to it.

And seeing you scrobble AMSP just now makes me want to listen to it aaaa I essentially had it on repeat for like a month after it came out but it's been a while now.

Unpopular opinion: I love the whole album except True Love Waits. I never cared for it as a song and I found it weird that they put it on this album as it doesn't really feel like it fits, and I kinda just find it obnoxious.

I finally hit 100,000 scrobbles last year. It took almost a decade.

I listened to A Moon Shaped Pool once or twice and then forgot about it. I did quite like it, but I became distracted by life. I should give it another go soon. If I don't forget.

Whoops we actually have a whole thread devoted to it and I've hijacked this one

It's been far and away my most played album since it came out. Perfect album for running to, it turns out.

Tinker Tailor... is the only song I've not fallen in love with on the album, but even that has some very cool moments. I've found True Love Waits to be an excellent closers. I think it fits well in a theme with most of the other mellow songs on the album (Daydreaming, Desert Island Disk, Glass Eyes, Present Tense). All of them seem to deal with love and isolation in some capacity and they've all started to tie together nicely in my head.

Nobody was using this thread anyway.

Huh, I love Tinker Tailor, I think it's beautiful and is either my favorite or second only to Identikit.

Now that I've listened to it enough to be just another Radiohead album instead of The New Radiohead Album, I think I would rank it as my third favorite album of theirs.

1. OK Computer
2. In Rainbows
3. A Moon Shaped Pool

I assume Kid A occupies one of those three spots for most other people and I will never argue against that.

"The ones you light your fires to keep away" always sends chills down my spine.

While we're talking about Radiohead, I could never sympathize with the opinion that King of Limbs was a disappointment, but I definitely can't agree with it now that I've listened to Lotus Flower a couple hundred times. That's on my shortlist of greatest songs all-time. Let's listen to it now.

Heck yeah. I love Lotus Flower, and a few others from TKOL but I haven't listened to it in waaayy too long. I'll fix that soon. As well as Supercollider/The Butcher -- I fuckin LOVE The Butcher.

The entire second half of The King of Limbs is perhaps the most pleasant-sounding stretch of songs I've ever heard on an album.

I felt like sharing my last.fm top 15 after 10.5 years of scrobbles.

ugh, I miss my last.fm

your last.fm is one reason why i <3 u
