step #20~canuck chicks rock!

okay so i have spent a bit of time playing around with last.fm and i have come to the conclusion that this might just be my favourite part of 23 things! you see i am in love with a canadian singer, jann arden. she is so canadian you can hardly hear her anywhere outside of canada even though she has won countless awards and has about a zillion cd’s out and european/north american tours. but since i moved here to the land of cheese and chocolate i haven’t heard her and even missed that she had a new cd out!!!!!! horrible!!!! what kind of pathetic fan am i? but now thanks to last.fm my troubles are over! i can listen to her again. and what is also super duper about last.fm is that the majority of the other recommended tracks and artists are people i regularly listen to like other canuck chicks like amanda marshell, chantel kraviatzik and sarah mclachlan. and other great artists i totally enjoy like indigo girls, shawn colvin, melissa ethridge and the likes. there were some where i thought what in the world is this? but still the majority have been dead on to my taste. even the artists you find via via via have been to my liking. i can over look the fact that each song is a different volume and requires adjusting if the music stays this good. i also really like the info. they provide over the artists. i’ve always enjoyed reading bios over artists and now i don’t even have to look them up myself, they are provided! i enjoy that!. the one thing i don’t really find interesting for myself is the “making friends” option. i don’t really see this as a social networking opportunity for myself. i can see how one could desire the social aspect of it. chatting with other people who all enjoy the same music as you, meeting up at the same concerts and such but really…i don’t feel the need. what i do feel the need for is to see if i can use last.fm on my new smartphone! now that would be something totally super duper! i’m off to play some more…
