      • brianfreud
        what is that ratio?
      • 2007-11-17 32137, 2007

      • drsaunde
        53,303 tracks ... Top artist is 117
      • 2007-11-17 32113, 2007

      • brianfreud
        oddly, drsaunde, I think you may possibly have the closest compatability of any MB user to me, just from the artist list, even if last.fm thinks you're low... almost everyone is "very low" against mine :P
      • 2007-11-17 32110, 2007

      • drsaunde
        still...there's probably not much techno or hip-hop on your list :-)
      • 2007-11-17 32126, 2007

      • MClemo
        brianfreud: yeah, I'm very low against you, too
      • 2007-11-17 32135, 2007

      • brianfreud
        techno yes (all old stuff like kraftwerk though), hip hop, nope, none on mine
      • 2007-11-17 32140, 2007

      • drsaunde
        speaking of...just listed to the Hot Chip remix of Aerodynamic ... Awesome!!!!
      • 2007-11-17 32116, 2007

      • brianfreud
        hmmm, drsaunde, the open mind index doesn't like you... only an 86: http://www.musickum.com/omi/index.php5?username=b…

        brianfreud got me by one there :(
      • 2007-11-17 32105, 2007

      • brianfreud
        lol
      • 2007-11-17 32116, 2007

      • brianfreud
        someone got a 128 the other day in here
      • 2007-11-17 32136, 2007

      • MClemo
        friend of mine had 133 or so
      • 2007-11-17 32157, 2007

      • drsaunde
        not sure how that's calculated tho...i feel gypped
      • 2007-11-17 32115, 2007

      • Clint got a 141.
      • 2007-11-17 32125, 2007

      • MClemo
        my sister has the weirdest taste in music, she would score high there lol
      • 2007-11-17 32157, 2007

      • MClemo
        I filled her ipod, she requested Pantera, Madonna and Bach
      • 2007-11-17 32100, 2007

      • mudcrow
        i got 97
      • 2007-11-17 32104, 2007

      • brianfreud
        drsaunde: I think it may have actually treated you better than it ought - hip hop and Hip-Hop came up as 2 separate tags at last.fm in your list
      • 2007-11-17 32103, 2007

      • brianfreud
        no clue how it works though
      • 2007-11-17 32157, 2007

      • MClemo
        http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/co… that thing takes the tags into account

      • brianfreud
        MClemo vs me: 33.13%
      • 2007-11-17 32154, 2007

      • LotR
        brianfreud: you can only do one webservice request per second to last.fm
      • 2007-11-17 32107, 2007

      • LotR
        which is explained on the page.. :)
      • 2007-11-17 32132, 2007

      • brianfreud
        gotcha
      • 2007-11-17 32137, 2007

      • brianfreud
        and me vs drsaunde: 33.88%
      • 2007-11-17 32155, 2007

      • LotR gets 32.54% against brianfreud
      • 2007-11-17 32140, 2007

      • brianfreud
        drsaunde, the common tags don't surprise me though - electronic, indie, rock, and alternative
      • 2007-11-17 32158, 2007

      • LotR
        wow, *big* soundtrack tag for brianfreud :)
      • 2007-11-17 32102, 2007

      • brianfreud
        lol
      • 2007-11-17 32114, 2007

      • brianfreud
        I'm surprised MClemo got so huge a singer songwriter tag, while it didn't even show up for me or drsaunde
      • 2007-11-17 32130, 2007

      • LotR

      • brianfreud
        lotr, and for a laugh, the two little tiny ones to the right of sundtrack in my cloud there are "soundtracks" and "trailer music", bth of which could be soundtrack too :D
      • 2007-11-17 32136, 2007

      • MClemo
        brianfreud: must be because of Johnny Cash and Tom Waits as my top artists
      • 2007-11-17 32149, 2007

      • LotR
        brianfreud: heh
      • 2007-11-17 32150, 2007

      • MClemo
        they both got a rather big singer-songwriter
      • 2007-11-17 32135, 2007

      • LotR
        scripts like that so ought to do a tag normalisation step
      • 2007-11-17 32117, 2007

      • MClemo
        LotR: what's "koekje erbij" supposed to mean?
      • 2007-11-17 32152, 2007

      • LotR
        koekje is dutch for cookie. koekje erbij means 'do you want a cookie with that'
      • 2007-11-17 32108, 2007

      • MClemo
        ha, I'd like a cookie with that! ;)
      • 2007-11-17 32134, 2007

      • LotR
        exactly :)
      • 2007-11-17 32137, 2007

      • MClemo
        but I guess you are not the one on the picture? do I have to start hitting on you?
      • 2007-11-17 32149, 2007

      • LotR
        oh look, 'high' with drsaunde
      • 2007-11-17 32159, 2007

      • LotR
        MClemo: no, that's not me :)
      • 2007-11-17 32105, 2007

      • LotR
        wrong gender
      • 2007-11-17 32110, 2007

      • brianfreud
        Lord of the... something elses :)
      • 2007-11-17 32121, 2007

      • MClemo
        LotR: thought so :(
      • 2007-11-17 32107, 2007

      • LotR
        drsaunde: do you manipulate your scrobbles to get that ratio? :)
      • 2007-11-17 32119, 2007

      • drsaunde
        nope
      • 2007-11-17 32140, 2007

      • drsaunde
        but I guess I usually only listen to random stuff on my computer while I tackle full albums in my car
      • 2007-11-17 32108, 2007

      • LotR
        for some artists you can't even have heard all their stuff. I like some music too much not to play it more often than once or twice
      • 2007-11-17 32127, 2007

      • MClemo
        I wouldn't have enough artists in my collection to accomplish such a ratio
      • 2007-11-17 32104, 2007

      • drsaunde
        again...last.fm only highlights my computer listening (as with all of you as well)
      • 2007-11-17 32136, 2007

      • LotR
        most of my music listening is recorded
      • 2007-11-17 32157, 2007

      • brianfreud
        pretty much all my music listening it computer based, so it's 99.9% accurate for me
      • 2007-11-17 32105, 2007

      • LotR
        I wish my phone kept a record of what was played, so I could scrobble that too
      • 2007-11-17 32116, 2007

      • MClemo
        the stuff I listen in my car isn't very different from what I listen at home, so it's fairly accurate
      • 2007-11-17 32128, 2007

      • drsaunde
        i even dumped my iPod plugin...so that stuff is not included either
      • 2007-11-17 32131, 2007

      • MClemo
        you can sync iPods, I think
      • 2007-11-17 32130, 2007

      • LotR
        MClemo: yeah, but I don't have an ipod. I wanted just a single gadget to remember to take with me, so I have an mp3-player/camera/phone (in order of importance :)
      • 2007-11-17 32159, 2007

      • LotR
        MClemo: your ratio is pretty extreme too, just in the other direction :)

        one third of your scrobbles for the top-3 :)
      • 2007-11-17 32139, 2007

      • MClemo
        true. but it got better I think, was more extreme a couple of months ago
      • 2007-11-17 32143, 2007

      • MClemo
        not much, though ;)
      • 2007-11-17 32159, 2007

      • brianfreud
        lol, my ratio doesn't have any fun stats, other than that one single tags sinks every single other one
      • 2007-11-17 32103, 2007

      • drsaunde wonders about brian's ratio of soundtracks listened to vs. films seen
      • 2007-11-17 32150, 2007

      • brianfreud
        hmmm
      • 2007-11-17 32156, 2007

      • brianfreud
        prob 1:1...
      • 2007-11-17 32128, 2007

      • brianfreud
        though only maybe 40-50% of the titles on both lists
      • 2007-11-17 32104, 2007

      • LotR
        you mean you listen the soundtracks of movies you haven't seen?
      • 2007-11-17 32118, 2007

      • brianfreud
        sure
      • 2007-11-17 32140, 2007

      • brianfreud

        whichever you choose will be half wrong. I think there's a proposal for one of the types on the advanced list to be such a mix, but for the moment, I'd pick one and put a note about that event in the annotation.
      • 2007-11-17 32103, 2007

      • nikki
        or you could enter identical release info with the other format
      • 2007-11-17 32154, 2007

      • brianfreud
        then it makes it look like it had 2 releases, rather than one mixed one

        yeah, I heard it once at philips when it was really new. it does make quite a difference (with a good audio system)

        Nothing like her Nightwish stuff, more pianoey/opera-y slow stuff

        Rather uneventful and samey, and generally left me unimpressed

        The way I see it, she's capable of so much more, but on that album her talents underestimated. Not surprising considering that Holopainen wrote most of the music for Nightwish

        It's well produced though, and nice, just rather lacking and there's no real replay value to it
