Happy 13th scrobbling anniversary today! ... How quick time passed by listening to your over 18.2k bands ... May you be blessed with more such musical anniversaries, and even more hidden, musical discoveries in the years to come, Montgomery

Hello again :-) How was your Easter "partying"? I hope you enjoyed good food with your family ? I did. ... I guess the the global Corona pandemic helps us all to get to enjoy our favourite bands more at homes :-) Greetings from Germany

Greetings Montgomery! I just see you listened to the "other" EY (A), he sings Turkish songs, while do minimalistic/experimental tracks... Did you actually want to listen to the music I make? If so, please have a look here (B) for e.g.spotify! Have a great weekend ahead...

Hello again from Germany, Montgomery! It's glorious to see you are still here at lastfm after more than 11 years :-) ... Welcome to the "oldtimers" club... Looking back now, how did your musical voyage mature over these years? ... Wishing the best for your pending "17k artists scrobbled" milestone... How I came by your lastFM profile, again? ... I've just finished looking at messages from way back (2011 Nov.) in my shoutbox... Wishing you a wonderful Thursday

Hey - we'll be making features such as that clearer soon when we release some new stuff

Hello artificialI. Congratulations! Listening the artist [url=http://www.last.fm/music/Dr Cat & Dj Pony]Dr Cat & Dj Pony[/url] You have become winner in [url=https://sites.google.com/site/kbsrounds/2014-02-09]2014-02-09 KBS!'s round[/url].

Thanks for your friendship :)

No problem. And hope the new week of your work will get less stressful :)

Well, you don't have to know everything you have listened to ever in your life. But your library is a handy little reminder for when you are a champion. You will have to survive rounds first (so play something I or the champion does not know), to be within the chance of being the longest lasting survivor. Let me know if you have any further questions. There are lots of help threads/etc but just in case you need a personal touch. Let me know TAB

Thanks for your friendship ^^ Interesting taste. Have a scour through my listened artists and see if there's anything you may like. Keep well. :) and something else i love my lastfm friend in facebook to, so add me on facebook if you want as a friend to. Enjoy my library Thanks ^^

Luton, for my sins.

Thanks for the add ;-)

:D Thanks for the props.

No thanks, I'm not using Spotify anymore (was a combination of them booting me back to Free when my Paypal-account was empty on a friday afternoon and the whole thing with the playlists became a bit tedious), so instead I'm on a combination of MusicBee (plays my Last.fm-recommendations automatically, or my neglected|new local albums) and Tomahawk (a bit slow but useful for artists I can't get here).

I'm more of a genre- rather then an artist-listener, just exploring those is really fun to me. This is also the reason why I remove the rating column in MusicBee and instead use the Playcount: more then a couple and it's time to move on.

The round started after I posted the first round. I had until today to finish this round. That is part of the game, catching a player unawares, listening to something the current champion knows, has heard of or has scrobbled.

With Spotify I'm on a free-account. Are you able to to copy+paste tracks from one playlist to the other?

That's why you need multiple columns: special-paste in the first the actual values (these are the Spotify URIs), paste in the second column the normal values (artist and track names) and let Excel split that one on that weird character between artist and track name (it's not a hyphen). Sort by artist and cut back on the number of tracks for each artist, select+copy the remaining Spotify URIs and paste (ctrl+v) those in a new Spotify-playlist.

I forgot to mention: [b][url=http://open.spotify.com/user/alainn/playlist/5lj6gPvSmknmhiGjbkg8Xq]_Buffer[/url][/b], [b][url=http://open.spotify.com/user/alainn/playlist/2DorvSR4DQG5Ij8Xw9IOKD]_Buffer 2[/url][/b], [b][url=http://open.spotify.com/user/alainn/playlist/1hutgJiEWUGEQaui0fLoA6]_Buffer 3[/url][/b], [b][url=http://open.spotify.com/user/alainn/playlist/1CnwCHmaguxjy0L3SbIdvW]_Buffer 4[/url][/b], [b][url=http://open.spotify.com/user/alainn/playlist/4H95U6G1qPC8FpK5i2fYbq]_Buffer 5[/url][/b], [b][url=http://open.spotify.com/user/alainn/playlist/7pHJ6WxJ9Fvxdr2FzPB8q0]_Buffer 6[/url][/b] and [b][url=http://open.spotify.com/user/alainn/playlist/4hcapjY6hQbHFfXN62AJaT]_Buffer 7[/url][/b]. These are my recent tracks played from Spotify, one track per artist (about 60K in total?).

$Deity, I'm glad I can just set MB to play my Recommendations now ^_^

The Last.fm-app for Spotify is in their/Spotify's apps-section, open Spotify and go to APPS (it's currently their 3rd placed app). Next, open a playlist with previously played tracks and grab'n'drop one of the artists on the Last.fm-app: you now get a Similar to-playlist with (hopefully) 18 new artists, repeat until you have just less than 10K tracks, delete duplicate artists (this will result in getting more artists on your profile quicker) and delete artists that you've played before (same).

You can get a copy of your playing history through [url=http://encukou.github.com/lastscrape-gui/]LastScrape[/url] or [url=http://lastfm.shikaka.net]Shikaka[/url] (I'd advise Shikaka since you can have it update periodically instead of doing a new scrape) and when it's done have it do an export (tsv instead of csv-format otherwise your artists with a comma in their name get broken). Rename the file-extension from tsv to csv, otherwise Excel can't import it. In Spotify: select multiple files, right-click and choose "copy Spotify URI". Go to your spread-sheet program of choice (you can use Google Docs, OpenOffice and the like but only Office/Excel 2007 has the option for more than 64K rows), and paste them at the appropriate place (I usually pasted the vanilla and special to get the actual Spotify file-URI), go to Conditional Formatting and set it to highlight duplicates. Remove duplicates, add resulting artists + tracks to a new playlist. ???. Profit!

I used Spotify a lot since it has the option to export the playlists and a Last.fm-app for getting new artists+tracks based on what I'm playing, import it to an Excel-sheet, delete the duplicates against my library. But lately I've been checking music blogs and my recommendations :)

I run the game so except in unusual circumstances I don't take part. The next 2 rounds will be done by [user]rolandkirk[/user]. He has been known to do his first round very early in the 24 hour period many times in the past, so be prepared :)

The next round of the game starts tomorrow afternoon (UK time) and can be done any time from 1 minute to 24 hours after that, and a ranking list will be available shortly after that. I always send a PM to group members at the start of each round or group of 2 rounds.

Hi. Thanks for joining [group]Obscure Music Game[/group]. If you have any questions about how things work feel free to ask either in the group or you can PM or shout me. I hope you have fun playing the game and discover plenty of new music. Cheers, Rob.

help elijah (epi_gee) post the lists help keep the conversation going... I also had graphics displayed ...alot of the work I brought upon myself for being so much into design and themes... I would change the picture to go with the weeks theme... I would make lots of suggestions....ect... I was nuts basically

since the group began ...kind of...(aug 2009 i think) I was one of the first he (epi-gee) invited ....I used to be a co-moderator...but it was too much for me to keep up with... :)

i love the soundrop room you made :D

lol yea I forget to check my inbox for friend requests....never realized id be so popular....i had 6 in there waiting LOL

Hello new friend :D

¿Can I shout myself?

Nah! Epi is one kind of a resource ;-) In my eyes Motorpsycho are a Psychedelic-Rock-Band, but not very progressive. There is a lot of Doors, Black Sabbath and other 70s Psychedelic-Rock in their music. And their zenith is over. They had their best time in the late 90s/early 00. I remember some legendary concerts (e.g. the keyboard-player falling asleep during the concert, because he was sooooooo stoned ;-). Great gig.)

Love me :-) you haven't listen to Motorpsycho from Norway yet. Great band, one of my all-time-favourites. Check them out.

Hi ! we do the themes with our own collections, last.fm radio, youtube, downloads etc.... come back and join us for prog week... :)

glad to hear it. :) It won't all be up your street, but hopefully you'll find something interesting.

You seem to like electronic music, and a few of my favourite artists aren't in your library: Enigma (new age, ambient), Amethystium (ambient), Dead Can Dance (ambient, darkwave)

glad it helped :-)

bwahaha, felix da housecat...and SUN IN MY MOUTH!!! wah, that whole album is just utter PERFECTION. Now I just want to lay on the floor and play it in it's entirety.

Hey man! Thanks for checking out my music!
