I wont be subscribing to listen to their radio anymore if shite like that is going to appear in recommendation radio or indeed personal radio.

No, they are not.

Anything "old" you listened to from pre-mp3 days does tend to lose out on Last FM statwise. Nirvana , Janes Addiction or Smashing Pumpkins would likely top mine then.
― Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 7 October 2007 11:44 (sixteen years ago) link
yeh, the wedding present, depeche mode and new order would have been right up the top of mine 10 years ago ... oh, hang on ...

I sense a continuity.

Your musical compatibility rating with weesimon is:
Very High
You share a few artists in common, including The Wedding Present, Depeche Mode, New Order, Low, and The Cure.

It went down to "high" and now it's only "medium".

that's 'cos of a) me listening to a lot of depeche mode and b) your -- what was it? -- officially "freaky" eclecticism. heheheheh :)

If you're using the new WINAMP you may notice that some tracks aren't scrobbling. For some people 9/10 tracks wont scrobble. So if you have this problem go here and get the plug in to sort it http://www.last.fm/forum/34905/_/335191/5#f5009841
― Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 21 October 2007 22:22 (sixteen years ago) link
infact theres an update http://www.last.fm/forum/34905/_/335191/_/5015396

LastGraph. Surprisingly over-powered application that maps your listening over time on a graph. I set it to track all three years' of mine and it took about five minutes and produced a 5.5MB PDF. You can zoom in and see when you were splurging on a particular artist.
