nice work spammers, great way to get around the filters ;)

Last.fm + Jambase.com = Getting Somewhere

There are some websites I regulary hit for concert information, pollstar and jambase are the more common national ones. I finally set up a profile on jambase because I was tired of always typing in “San Francisco” as my location…

Editing my profile I found the option to enter a comma separated list of my favorite bands… DING! Where do I get a list of my favorite bands… I thinks the 27,993 tracks I’ve submitted to last.fm would suffice to give me a good sampling of artists that I like or care about.

On last.fm there’s a page where it show me my top 493 artists… I’m not sure where that number comes from… I saved the html and with some UNIX command line drudgery made myself a comma separated list of my favorite artists. Sweet.

Now whenever I go to jambase I’m automatically by a rather large list of bands that I like who playing in my area very soon. I love it.

If I could get bands that last.fm reccomends to me in there that would be that would take the cake.

To do items:
* see if last.fm has an api to get this data for a user, if so, ask them to incorporate the funtionality, allowing users to do a one-time or periodic download of their artists into the jambase profile
* if they don’t do it, write a little utility to help people do it and put it on the web somewhere. but then noone would find it or use it, just like massrmvwait.com. I need to get better at promoting.

Today I went to my third physical therapy appointment for my broken finger. The injuryl happened months ago playing basketball… in the end I had a cast on for just shy of 2 months and now I’m having the first physical therapy of my life.

Today the therapist I had on my second visit wasn’t my therapist but I talked to him for a few seconds anyway. Said he’s been telling stories about me…

When he entered the waiting room to call me to the tratment room he called me by name. Apparently I jumped right out of my seat and said “WooHoo!!” I guess that’s not the usual reaction for PT patients. I’m glad to get my fingers bending again.

…

Then, at IKEA last night I was in the warehouse with a guy walking in front of me… I got him to turn around to sneak a peek at who the hell was saying “Furniture creeps me out.” at a well-audible level.

It’s fun to say fun things, doncha think?

big things underway…, i’m curious to see how the service pans out. i’ve really likes it up to now though the software has been a little spotty.”

I’m in the process of reading the MusicDNS whitepaper when i should really be getting some sleep.
