listening to peoples' Last.fm stations, via FriendFeed. Pretty fun. @parislemon not so much, schlomo robinowitz has pretty good taste, listened to Leonard Lin's station all day yesterday, now @sarahintampa
Jazz is good taste. Everything else is just... well... music :)

didn't know stevenhodson listens to electronica...good stuff.
- Alan Le
Another great use of social filtering. I've become more interested in Flickr and photos through here. Music will have that same quality.
- Hutch Carpenter
I've been doing the same thing Marshall! Let's see.. Recently, I've listened to revcorwin (old friend), onejasonforsale (another friend), stevenhodson, tlandow, and calebelston radio stations. Good stuff! Oh, here is mine: http://www.last.fm/user...

I have a problem with Louis' station, since I can't SIT when listening to it. You can take the club kid out of the clubs... It's probably my favorite but it is completely not conducive to working. Ben, I'll add you, but I'm guessing yours might involved a few flashbacks. LOL. The Dead? Good to see the next generation appreciates some good music.

Sometimes I'll cruise http://friendfeed.com/public... and look for songs and bands that I've long since forgotten, and go listen to them. http://www.last.fm/user... is me -- indie hip hop plus some off-kilter (Ween, CVB, Rev HH). I'll be sure to check out these other stations when I get home.
- Kirk Kittell
Oh yeah.. here I am. ;) Excuse any Hannah Montana and Suzuki pieces... kid iPods sync on my account as well. http://www.last.fm/user...

Ontario, I love the idea but I just can't keep up with FriendFeed when streaming in in there. I like to either play someone's station or see ones that they "love" on last.fm.
- Cyndy
look at this thread! is FriendFeed awesome or what?? it's SO much fun! did you know MyBlogLog gets 4X as much traffic tho? oh well
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
I've been trying to get into Last.fm the past couple days. I think I'm just not getting it. Pandora seems so much easier.
- Yolanda
how to find people with last.fm in FF?
- Ivan Pope
from twhirl
I've been on Pandora. Gonna have to check out Last.fm.
- Hutch Carpenter
Marshall - re MyBlogLog - If you build it they will come. FF has the infrastructure to continue to grow over time.
- Russellreno
are some people just pandora people and others last.fm people? Because pandora has never appealed to me but I'm a last.fm evangelist.
- Jason Toney
Pandora is fun for the chance to hear things you weren't expecting. I assume Last.fm has some of those aspects as well? Just signed up.
- Hutch Carpenter
i've always been a Pandora user but the social side of things is so much richer in Last.fm. I've just been hovering over peoples' names here on FF and looking for the Last.fm logo. that said, the Pandora player is much easier to use.
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
I'm a pandora person as well, but maybe I'll listen to last.fms on here - I doubt many people share my geeky tastes, but who knows?
- Erin
Marshall - I like Pandora as well, but Pandora is pretty much restricted to users in the USA, preventing our international friends from listening to our playlists :(
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Yolanda.. Last.fm and Pandora are both great but, like Twitter and FriendFeed, have completely different goals. Pandora works behind the scenes to tailor a stream to you. last.fm throws everything together in a huge pot and gives you the sliders to make a great listening experience. They call this "scrobbling" (actually, the AS in LAST stand for "Audio Scrobbler") .. anyway, like a stew, the more stuff you put in it the better it is. Add a bunch of people, hook up last.fm to your itunes, go nuts!
- Phil Glockner
interesting, hadn't thought about doing that. Gonna check your out, Mr, Kirkpatrick! You better have the Celine Dion at a minimum:)
- Schlomo Rabinowitz
Great discovery Marshall...I think of this as a dynamically generated muxtape made by my friends without the fuss. Here's my eclectic station http://www.last.fm/listen...
