Erasing tracks (scrobbles in this instance)
Posted by chichard41 | Filed under Gadgets, Summations, bother, music, rant
I deleted my last.fm (audioscrobbler) account after failing to see any reason to keep it. They’ve had years worth of tracking data since 05 from me when I last looked and I get little to nothing in return. The ads have become obtrusive (not as bad as YouTube which is an abomination now), the stats irrelevant and very little progress towards integration. I’m looking for something new, contiunally being an early adopter and seeing many music sites struggle and change their long term plan. We7 as a start up has gone through several iterations of its model, originally it worked, but now it has landed on a weak one this time around. Back to last.fm:
The stats side for me has been a major issue considering there are many types of things I listen to and it’s not all on one device. Let’s start with my iPhone, it’s great I use it everyday and play everything and anything on it. This is where the problem lies, since I bought into this ecosphere I now listen to an inordinate number of podcasts, it’s unbelievable and it’s as if I’m always trying to play catch up. Notably I’ve started dropping various subscriptions recently due to quibbles with personal preferences. Here’s the point, it really messes up my stats for audiscrobbles and I didn’t really want them to appear. It became more trouble than >> >> >> »

Neil McSweeney – Shoreline Album Launch Videos
Posted by chichard41 | Filed under London, gig, music, video
Remember the gig I took photos of and shared 1 video of? Well because Neil’s music has been getting me through what can only be called unemployment in the Biomed field, I thought I’d share some more. I eventually forked out the $60 (not bloody cheap!) to get into the vimeo HD ecosystem, so here are the videos from the Neil McSweeney gig at The Luminaire for his “Shoreline” album Launch.
Hope you enjoy them as they took quite a while to upload. Please show your appreciation for the music by leaving a reply below.
