Shamless, isn't it. ;)

It seems I only have one weekly neighbor this week (on my dashboard). Really? Only one other person here listened to any of these people?

Bachelorette
Age Pryor
St. Vincent
Andrew Bird
The Phoenix Foundation
David Garza
Bat For Lashes
Ola Podrida
Fly My Pretties

Is the weekly neighbor determined by a certain combination of artists listened to? Only by the top artist of the week? I would think Andrew Bird and St. Vincent, at least, would have earned me more than one weekly neighbor (who I think is my neighbor because of Bachelorette).

It seems one of my neighbors was listening to Britney Spears. I saw it on my Dashboard. I hoped it was just for laughs. More than 400 plays isn't "just for laughs". Yet most of the other music on their charts is quite good! Nick Drake! Velvet Underground! Even good indie stuff done in this decade!

It's no good you saying, "But Indigo Jones, you've got Duran Duran in your top 50." It's not the same thing at all. *huffs* They were real musicians.

Excuse me while I go listen to something snobbishly superior.

This post brought…

Not just the name of a band I listened to back in the '90s, but also how I spent my weekend.

Someone here on Last.fm was listening to them earlier last week and reminded me that I haven't listened to them in ages. After the trip I took to Tennessee (drivin' for seven hours each way) this weekend to bury my grandmother and uncle (lord, the cryin' I did all weekend), it somehow seemed like the right time to listen to them.

I saw Drivin 'N' Cryin live in New Orleans at Tipitina's when the Fly Me Courageous album came…

I'm listening to Andrew Bird's Heretics right now and I can't help but think that it reminds me just a bit of Zen Frisbee, a local band I used to go see. I'm not even sure why I made the connection. Perhaps it was simply the voices sounding a bit similar at times.

My charts this week – and future weeks if I can't get some program to work – are not going to really reflect my listening habits. I use my iPods a lot, but I've been having trouble with the Yamipod program more and more over the recent weeks, and for the past few days, I've had almost no luck with the program at all. My nano hasn't worked at all with it for a month or more, and now I can't get the program to work with my video iPod. I try to force Yamipod to send the tracks, but…

How do you find groups here on last.fm at the moment? Sure, I can find the ones I already belong to, but how do I search for new ones? I guess I'm just overlooking it, but it would be nice if it was a little more easy to find. Like the subscribe link that keeps moving around.

I get a kick out of how often I'm reminded of bands I saw live years ago who show up on other people's charts here now. These are bands that I only knew from their small local performances and never thought they'd be showing up on people's charts here and with a decent-size following.

Don Caballero was one of the first bands like this that I stumbled across here. I saw them in New Orleans back in 1993 or so and ended up talking to a couple of the guys after the show. It was a small bar with a…

When I listen to Iron & Wine on my iPod nano and then submit the tracks through Yamipod, it gets screwed up and posts as Iron %26 Wine. This is a relatively new problem. I haven't updated iTunes or my iPod or Yamipod in the time that this problem has started, although I know there's been an update to the scrobbler program, but I can't remember if the problem was before or after that. Since I can't go in and correct the title manually in last.fm, any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

I love songs with odd time signatures. There's just something about them that appeals to me. Genesis' Apocalypse in 9/8 is a fantastic example, but I was also just listening to Age Pryor's The Condition, which also has an odd time signature, which I just realized. Explains why I like the song so much. There are so many great song examples; those are just two. What are your favorite examples of odd time signatures?
