Edit: These days I'm using my own app The Last.fm Mass Tagger to perform this task.

In the absence of a radio for the similar tracks I've endeavoured to make my own via the use of tag radios like for example:

similar tracks: queens of the stone age - go with the flow
similar tracks: feist - my moon my man
similar tracks: the cranberries - electric blue
similar tracks: the gathering - leaves

I've found them very enjoyable and perhaps more accurate to my taste then similar artists stations. And they are really not that hard to make quickly…

For the group The Tag Appreciation society

The tag is perhaps the most useful thing on Last.fm, here I am hoping to collate every possible use of it. Any suggestions of good resources will be welcome. And remember tagging isn't supposed to be limited by Genres and if you don't believe me see this official blog entry http://blog.last.fm/2007/08/24/thank-you-taggers

I just love this idea. Get some of the most hatstand over the top music videos and re-record the lyrics to match what is happening in the video. . This version of bonnie Tylers Total Eclipse of the heart is the best one in my opinion. Hilarious stuff(though it could do without the silly voices in the instrumental section).

The Literal version of I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) by Meat loaf is good too.

Not sure I'd call this a review or not, I'm not the best at describing music… but here are some of my thoughts of the new the Gathering album The west Pole anyway since I'm bored.
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/300x300/25755813.jpg

Was always going to be interesting how the band would cope with loss of someone as good as former vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen.Her replacement Silje Wergeland had big shoes to fill.

Anyway onto my thoughts on the tracks:

When Trust Becomes Sound
Enjoyable instrumental to open, my fave of any instrumentals the band has produced. Nice and energetic start to the album.

Treasure…

Out of boredom I have decided to list my musical discoveries of 2008. That is music I actually discovered and enjoyed in the year as opposed to music actually released in the year. I'm always late to the musical party

my body is a cage
I'm a sucker for a slow build up followed by an sudden lift, Love it when the organ kicks in. Arcade Fire was without doubt my artist of the year. Special mentions also go to Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels), no cars go and in the backseat though I pretty much liked nearly everything.

Still True…

While it doesn't quite show in my charts I have always loved video game soundtracks, one of the coolest things about them is they will get me listening to things I'd never think to check out otherwise. Anyway in tribute to them I feel like geeking out and writing a journal about some of my fave tracks that no one will read.

Metal gear Solid 3
Snake Eater - Cynthia Harrell

Konami decide to send MGS back to the sixties, so what they do? Why they only give it a very awesome Bond-esk theme. Even if I do still think…

I'm crap at describing why I like things but I'm gonna try anyway…anywho these are my fave tracks released in 2007(that I can remember) in no particular order:

Intervention - Arcade Fire
Epic track, when the choir kicks in towards the end its just well I cant find the word. Think of a more pretentious word for great :P

My Moon My Man - Feist
Its just so catchy, never fails to get my toe tapping. I'd also label Feist as my top artist discovery of year. Oh and I love the video too, there is just something about her…

What do people assume when they first look at me?
The Cranberries - Salvation

I will SAVE them..can i get an amen to that?

What will be a big challenge in life for me?
Helene - Where Do You Go to When You Disappear

yes where will I go…

Am I a good boyfriend/girlfriend?
KT Tunstall - Silent Sea

that doesnt sound good

Do I have a Secret Admirer?
Queens Of The Stone Age - Tangled Up In Plaid

I must rescue her from her plaid tangled nightmare!

Will I ever become manically depressed in my life?
theatre of tragedy…

I really need this dvd! Edit: And now I have it *grins*

I have now reached over 2000 plays for my top artist the Gathering so here's an uninteresting journal entry to signify it :P. Pretty impressive if you consider I only truly discovered this band in October while my next highest band Evanescence has got its high figure over a much longer period of time of listening from not long after I joined.

I came across them when In Motion Part II came up on the Gothic Metal tag radio. Now despite not fitting in with what I was looking for at the time I liked it and tagged the band…
