Last.fm is currently the bane of my existence. The site is cool and the features are cool, but the similar artists for our band is all jacked and there's no way to fix it. Pretty frustrating, also frustrating to get them to delete the pictures when your lineup changes and stuff. 

I guess it's my fault for ignoring last.fm for the last four years. We used to be on a super extra-punk label and I guess a lot of bands who wanted to be on that label tagged their stuff as being similar to ours and it's not at all. Just as an example listen to this song and then click on any of the "similar artists" - apples to oranges.

 

Anyone else have their band's stuff up there? Have you ever had this problem? Right now we're trying to get our street team to "scrobble" so that this gets fixed, but they don't say how often they re-set the "similar artists" thingy

Added a bunch of you ... Since I know for sure you all have fabulous taste, it's going to make the "My Friends Radio" station extra-specially awesome. :)

i have been using lastfm a lot lately. they play a lot of good garage. i like it a lot better than pandora cuz the lack of commercials and the more verity of music. i just made a profile on lastfm for my band but it's been hard to get the radio station to work i think i need people to try to listen to the tracks on the profile.

Thumbsup for the last.fm iPhone app too, if ya got one of those doohickeys. Just type in an artist and it will stream a "radio show" of all similar artists ... not always hundred percent on the related artists bit, but mostly pretty ok ...

I like the metrics because I listed to a ton of music throught the day. It's nice to validate that it's not white noise in the background.

yup .... http://www.last.fm/user/crankinhaus feel free to add me!

I'm on it. I like to alternate between listening to last.fm and the LSUG channel on Sirius/XM.

Hi all! I'm on last.fm with my singer-songwriter band SingSallySing (http://www.last.fm/music/SingSallySing) and have a band manager account. From that account I also made a page for the Cyco Sanchez Supergroup, but I can't get access to it anymore, can't find it in "repertoire" etc. Does anyone know what to do? Needless to say: I don't really know how to use last.fm... Cheers, Doc Sanchez
