Last.fm – two year anniversary

The middle of last December saw me celebrating two years of being subscribed to Last.FM. To tell the truth, the celebration was only really marked by my taking the above screenshot and promptly forgetting about it. Anyway, here I am now remarking on said event. At that point I’d listened to 42,345 tracks, Kraftwerk was my weekly top artist and my overall top artists were Kraftwerk, Ornette Coleman and Rhythm & Sound. Nothing much has changed since. When I signed up it was rather unattractively called Audio Scrobbler, the service was much less reliable and there was little of the social aspect the site now sports. Mog.com may be snapping at its heels (I’m not a fan of its busy interface), but Last.fm claims 15 million users which should ensure fairly accurate recommendations and neighbour matching.
