• 50,000 scrobbles! A review:

    Abr 17 2009, 12h36 por BeckyMUK

    The landmark track was Kaiser Chiefs "The Angry Mob".

    Looking at my library as it currently stands, I have 103 artists although 'Various Artists' is counted as a 104th due to my taking songs from soundtracks by 'Various Artists'. I have 900 loved tracks although some of those are wrongly named/punctuated versions of tracks from when I started scrobbling from Media Player and it took a while to co-ordinate song titles with their playable versions here on the website. If I took those out, it would lose me a heck of a lot of scrobbles so, untidy as it may make things, I'm going to keep them.

    I also have some tracks that are not playable on the website such as Cancion del Mariachi by Antonio Banderas from the Desperado soundtrack, Rafael Nadal Dancefloor Superstar by Appart and the Spanish Eyes/Lola, Lola medley from the Ricky Martin live DVD "One Night Only". And of course there are tracks that were previously playable and have now gone missing like Torero by Chayanne although some of those tracks such as the El Sueño de Morfeo songs are actually playable despite being listed as unavailable.

    I have discovered all sorts of new artists on last.fm - only yesterday I was recommended a new rock band ironia colombia by one of my friends who is in the band. I took a listen and the 5 songs are very promising so I added them to my library. I certainly wouldn't have found them just by listening to a normal radio station! Using this website really helps me broaden my musical horizons and as a result, I hardly ever listen to the radio nowadays, preferring instead to spend time on here where I know I can find music that will be interesting for me through recommendations and artist/tag radios. When I do find something interesting, I let my family and friends know about it too - both my mum and nephew now have last.fm accounts and we regularly swap recommendations with each other.

    I look forward to finding out what my 100,000th song scrobbled will be!

  • A Journey Into the Boltonesque

    Set 10 2007, 9h45 por ssssixten

    Reports from the Boltonesque coasts of España

    Who would have thought that the Spanish held the Boltonesque so high? Once landing in Malaga they greeted the Boltonesque followers with big billboards saying "You Are Now Entering Julio Iglesiasland". Not to make empty threats, the cabdrivers made sure you had a long journey from the airport to your stay listening solely to Boltonesque artists. 100 km later, leaving the freeway with Julio still ringing in your ears we now entered further into the Boltonesque. "Marbella - land of Antonio Banderas". Antionio has his own plaza in Puerto Banus where everything happens. There is even an Irish Café with signed pictures of both Antonio Banderas and Michael Bolton!

    Apart from having the obvious geographical signs of the Boltonesque, one can soon see the Boltonesque lifestyle with ones own eyes. As you walk through the ports avoiding to get hit by expensive ferraris the sounds of Joe Cocker suddenly appears from a piano bar. Beeing as Boltonesque as possible, it would be impossible not to enter and have a drink. Once served drinks that costs something close to a archive employees full salary you are forced to sit down and listen to the music to make your drinks worth the price. As the barpersonel eagerly serves popcorn to your drinks (at least the popcorns are for free) the music of Kenny Loggins hit the floor. Beeing Boltonesque by blood, multiple Spanish people jump up on the nonexisting dancefloor and shake their curly permed hairs to the music. You are now in extreme euphoria and must simply just enjoy the life.
    But the Spanish is a people of excess. Enough is never enough unless it's more than Boltonesque. Entering the bar comes LaToya Jackson high on more drugs than could ever be afforded by your average archive personel. Beeing a Boltonesque dramaqueen she staggers over the floor dressed in nothing but a thong and a seetrough dress, smoking a cuban cigarr. The personal at this very expesive little Boltonesque establishment quickly clears a table for her and she is served a magnum bottle of champagne. After seeing all this you leave the bar fulfilled and knowing that of all the Boltonesque resorts, Spain must be the most Boltonesque within reach.

    Following two weeks of Boltonesque research leaves you nothing but pleased. As you leave the appartment on your way to the cab, SVT Europe suddenly starts playing a fantastic combination of Roland Cedermark and Tommy Nilsson. Left with nothing but enlightment you enter another cab that quickly turns on his favourite singer - Julio Iglesias and you drive off towards the airport.

    From Spain with Boltonesqueness, I am sure one could have ordered a Cerveza con Boltonesque at any bar.
