The Music Social Gig v. I'll Trade You My Shirt For A Grilled Cheese

wtf happened to last.fm.... their commercial free radio used to be free on their windows app. I think I'm going to use spotify meow.

i found a couple loopholes. if you listen through their website, still free. your recommendations radio, still free. everything else, the desktop clients? no. and as for spotify, fuck any site that won't let me sign up without a Facebook. shit is gay. i need my scrobbles, man.

eta: i also suggest you turn on their 'forgotten favourites' lab or whatever it's called. you can listen to all those radios for free, and sometimes it's nice to be reminded. i guess i should be posting this in the last.fm thread.

from what i read, you can scrobble from spotify...you'd be using last.fm's scrobbler. I haven't researched into it that much. In fact, I don't know a damn thing about spotify. I just know a lot of people use it.
 
Yeah, I scrobble mp3s though, not streaming music. Which may lead me to not needing spotify.
 
I just saw this quote from Jon Fishman, on Keith Moon, and I thought of my NEMD phamily.
Makes perfect sense.

The image in my mind that I got when I would listen to The Who, and specifically Keith Moon, was of a guy somehow being able to fall down the stairs in time. It was like someone falling down the stairs with a drum set but landing on the beat. Somehow, this guy would be falling forward and it never seemed like he divided time up in an exact way. It seemed like he was always cramming in the last thoughts in the allowable space provided by the meter of the song.
 
catching polka performances on public television makes me smile cause i love watching old people have fun,the music is fun, and most of all it reminds me of my late grandmother

she was an extremely feisty and short fused lady but around me she was always so sweet, adorable, and knew how to make me laugh, she used to let me grab her by her arms and shake her pretty hard(she played along with it for the lulz), even during her last year with us, she used do this thing where she took tiny baby steps to get from the couch to the kitchen in ways that always gave me a belly laugh

last time i saw her was during end of visiting hours at the hospital, moments before i was going to tell her good bye she suddenly felt really hot and ill, i ran out and requested a nurse and fanned her with whatever i could find in the room, it helped her.....she died the next day, during early afternoon with her daughters by her side

she always wanted a hug and kiss when i would leave/arrive at her house but i was always uncomfortable with hugging family members, she never got mad about it, but i feel bad cause when they cleaned out her apartment they said she had like 15 pictures of me and my brother stashed all through out the house

rest in peace bernice, you were the best

all that cause someone had to mention polka....
 
I think Gogol is sort of gyspy-punk-polka
No love for him?

I really hope such a thing never happens. I don't like the idea of having to sift through shitty dance and house topics to find threads concerning actual musicians.
 
An admin at Waffles just manually reset password so I can start catching up on new music. Two months sans laptop, two months sans new music. All praise be unto Him!
 
^ Sometimes I find myself in phases where I have to discover new awesome music constantly
But still I usually always go back to those old classic songs I love that maybe mean something to me, for example

I'm guessing you were stuck in that cycle until the waffle gates opened again for you, huh?
