So I've been playing around with Last FM a new tool/ feature on the xbox 360 preview. This one will go live in November, but it streams music like a radio station. You pick a band from a genre and it will automatically pick similar bands to play with it. As it does this you can favor or or show dislike for bands or songs that will help Last FM pick songs for you that will make your experience better. You'll discover new bands and old favorites you forgot about. I have two "stations" so far
Depeche Mode
Pretty much a lot of new wave old and new. Through DM I selected similar bands like Erasure, Recoil, Pet Shop Boys, the Cure, etc. and it will play it with a bunch of Euro synthpop I've never heard of. I rarely complain because this station helps me get back to a happy place :)
Birthday Massacre
Lot of underground gothic/ dark/ metal/ techno music. This is basically is my "new shit" I discovered BM randomly on Myspace and fell in love with the look and music. Through this station I'm discovering new bands that are simply awesome. SOme bands I've started to like off this station would be Helalyn Flowers, Angelspit, Zombie Girl, and Ayrie
One thing that caught me was a song called Sirens which caught my attention because I knew the voice I look up and see pictures of a girl I knew when I was working at Radio Shack, she dated the ass. Manager Tony. Her name was Kim and now she was "Lady Parasyte" spelled the same way as my gamertag and newer forum memberships. I was taken back a little. Is this a coincidence or were we exposed to something subliminal around the time we hung out that would make us drift to the word parasite (aside from Tony :p) Also it's SPELLED the same (Y instead of an I) I think I'm getting paranoid...... Anyways check her out, she's not bad and I support anyone I consider a friend, even if I hadn't seen them in years, it's nice to know some people are following their dreams a succeeding. :)
