My most inclusive and random tag. This is the tag I use for exploration. How does something get added?
It most likely comes from clicking around on the site - a group connection, a friend/neighbour, my pony, something that I came across and want to hear more or maybe someone has made a recommendation. It is also the tag that I change the most.
How I use it - Usually, I give something quite a few listens. An artist will grow on me. Or I think that I like something only to realize the music has no staying power. On the rare occasion, I will go in and take it off the tag on my first listen. I also mix in artists that I enjoy, but my radio doesn’t play or play enough. So not all the music is completely new to me - maybe just new to the
lgsunshine radio.
A few things that are on
my coffee kick now:
Amy Winehouse – so far, I like what I’ve heard
Bajofondo Tango Club – just added
Big Boss Man – again, I like what I’ve heard so far
Celso Fonseca – too early to tell
Bomb the bass + Lali Puna - again too early to tell
Pavel Kostiuk – it’s been on the tag for a while, but I don’t remember hearing this yet
Soel – I enjoy what I’ve heard so far
Two Banks of Four – from a neighbour that has only made good recommendations
I have also tagged artists that aren't streamable. I have found that it's an enjoyable way to find out when something is added. :)
For music that isn't available on last.fm, I would recommend visiting
Music you want added to last.fm. While I don’t know how likely it is to get something added, it becomes a centralized list of what people want to see on the site.
oh - and please feel free to make a recommendation
