Hey buddy. I'm actually on a bit of a music funk lately. Haven't discovered as much in the past year. Any recommendations would be appreciated. :-) Thanks for shouting.

Do you use Instagram? I've posted best of listings there or alternately have quite a few playlists on Spotify, same username as here!

I'm always dreaming of whatever the next discovery will be, though it feels like I haven't found a new musical love in a while. Perhaps I would find some inspiration from your charts. At least half of what I listen to comes from people on last.fm recommending me stuff.

It's okay; I love a couple tracks, and the new mix of Zeroes is pretty good. I do tend to like 80s music, though, and understand why fans of the classic rock style were put off. What do you think?

hah. You absolutely do, though I guess I've been listening to them a few years longer? In any case, that doesn't matter, I just had a lot of time to listen to music in the past few years. Thanks for stopping by.

Yeah! I've been listening to them a long time now, although I suppose I never got as into anything nearly as much as Skylarking. I wonder if I should go back and give the rest another try.

You're missing out, my friend! Skylarking is a fantastic album but there's a world of goodness outside of that record. Trust me.

Hi ! very nice library and lots of artits in common :) but how the hell did you manage to have all your scrobbles from Marina and the diamonds under MARINA's name? wow ! ahah don't know how you did that but i'm amazed :)

Hey there! There's an editing tool as a subscriber where you can alter past scrobbles. I used the editing tool and a script to convert all the old plays into the new name. Probably more trouble than it was worth but I was just trying to see if I could do it.

Dear MachineOfaDream, I came to your page just to enjoy all the Siouxieness and overall excellent taste and then I read this shout, which might contain a fabulous solution for my Library. Could you please tell me if this idea of mine is a utopia: I would like to have the names of Russian composers in original cyrillic, but I don’t know if it’s possible only via ‘Edit Track’ option (which would be too tedious, even if it’s bulk edit), or perhaps via ‘Edit Albums’ (which would be acceptable) or perhaps there is a way to ‘Edit Artist’ (which would make me faint from happiness). I’m only interested in changing the Artist’s name. If it’s possible, I would subscribe in a NY minute! Sorry for bothering you. In any case, congratulations on your Library and presence in Siouxsie and the Banshees shoutboxes and on this site of ours. (Thanks to Hixi-Ponn too)

Aw I'm glad you can appreciate my taste in music. First, I'm not entirely sure that editing tracks is a subscriber only function anymore so just make sure you don't already have it by clicking on the three dots next to a track and see if the option is there already. I've just been subscribed a while to support the website, and I'm no longer sure which things non-subs have. The edit function does let you edit anything about an individual scrobble except for the time it was scrobbled. You could change every track in your library to the same track using this feature if you wanted to. So I think what you're describing should be possible. You can't edit albums directly, but by changing what album a track is associated with you can indirectly alter it.

Thank you ever so much for your quick response! That’s so nice of you to think of that possibility but it is still a subscriber only function. The fact the time stamp stays as it was is fabulous, I love that. So, the indirect Album edit could be the best solution for me! Thank you so much for this info. I didn’t expect anything less from a true Last.fm ambassador (class of 2005). Keep on keeping on with the Banshees!

I prefer Bowie overall, but Prince was a big influence on me in high school back in the 90s. I might not have gotten into Bowie in the first place without my musical education from Prince.

Hey, how is it going? You don't know me (I know), but I released my first EP this month along with a video. As I compose, record, produce and mix all by myself, I end up being limited in ways to share around my project, so I'm sharing around here, also I apologize for flooding your chat with this type of info. But if you're interested and want to hear, the songs flirt with elements of dream pop, lo-fi and shoegaze: https://youtu.be/YLwXzEJpRM4

Haha...it sounds strange in a way, but I do put a lot of effort into finding what I consider to be good music. So I guess it's validating that the results of my efforts have managed to shock someone. Also: your taste seems rather awesome too.

I love your taste in music! There's probably a lot I could recommend...have you not listened to Beach House? I think they're not too far off from Wild Nothing, and (clearly) amongst my favorite of all time.

Yeah, that's right. Their lyrics seem to be so universal and this song is a perfect example. Times change but some meanings stay the same. They could also return to the studio finally , to record some new stuff. I'm sure Roland's observations about the world could lead to very wise and very intellectual lyrics and music.

Well I think the fact that you got me listening to Janelle Monae made my library a little more perfect. That's amazing that you met Annie!!! How did that happen?

I’m so happy to have introduced you to Janelle! As for Annie, during the concert she reached out and touched my hand(!!!) and was just generally looking at me and my friends a lot so after the show we thought we would try our luck meeting her outside the venue. She got in the van and it started to drive off and then it stopped and she opened the door and jumped out. It was awesome!

MachineOfaDream
Thanks! I like that we both have St. Vincent and Marina in our top artists. It doesn't seem like there would be an obvious connection, but there must be something to it! As for Bowie, well, he has one of the largest discographies of anyone you'll ever try to get into. My #1 advice is not to just focus on his classic rock era. Honestly, I don't even really like his first two albums. His best music is probably from the late 70s and early 80s, but also from the mid 90s onward most of those albums are pretty good. Foe example, 2002's "Heathen" is essential, especially the second half.

I hear David Bowie brought up a lot when people talk about Annie Clark. I know she is heavily influenced by him so that might be one reason, haha. Thank you so much for your advice! When I try to get into him I'll go chronologically from the late 70s and hope I find an album I really like.

Don't expect much from anything he did in the 80s other than Scary Monsters or Let's Dance. However, those two albums are good.

Duly noted. Thanks again! (BTW, I've always considered Marina as more of a guilty pleasure--more so than Lana even. It's cool to see someone else who's super into her. Kind of gives me the go-ahead haha)

Yeah! He has that ability to change up his sound just enough from album to album that he never quite gets boring. I'm still not at all tired of listening to him even after 3000 plays.
