I'm going to justify this one with an computer that got left mute on WSC for an excessively long time.  Although I do love the social club, it hasn't quite reached that level.

 Members have been keeping track of the songs they listen too via last.fm.  Now I'm seeing if other folks are as surprised as am at some folks top 10 lists.

well, we all know that whatever is on last.fm isn't really indicative of what we all listen to
 
 for example, i spend the majority of my days moping around, feeling this uncontrollable guilt about the wrongs my white brethren have committed against black people, native americans, and the like ... it helps to listen to garish "hip-hop" and "rap" music and try to identify with black culture
 
 fortunately, i listen to all that music exclusively on CD, so it doesn't show up on last.fm!  haHA!

I'm not a member, but if I were, my top would be Brian Eno, actually.  Maybe I'll join up tonight.
 
 Nice catch on the DCFC reference in the name though.

I think you can activate it on two computers by just downloading the plugin on both and signing in.  I don't think the format matters.

No problem.  Download the Audioscrobber for iTunes at home and the Adioscrobber for WMP at the office.  It's which account you associate the audioscrobber with that counts, not the player.

I don't even use it.  I should, I guess.  If I can remember my user name.....

it shouldn't be a problem ... you can get a scrobbler thing for your mp3 player as well ... the only thing you have to watch out for is a situation like this:
 
 you listen to 20 songs on your iPod, then you go home and listen to 10 songs on your computer ... if you submitted the listening data on those 10 songs before you submit the 20 songs from your ipod, last.fm won't accept the iPod-listened-to songs
 
 i dont know if that made sense, but if you are scrobbling from two different computers, just make sure the data is being submitted in real-time on each

Gaace is right.
 
 The only time it's been a problem is when smackette is using iTunes at home and I'm using iTunes at the office.  Last.fm will put a message on your member page that says Some tracks you submitted have not been added to your profile for the following reason: Spam protection triggered: You submitted a track dated earlier than your last submission.
 
 It's designed to keep you from flooding and skewing the statistics.  About half of the songs will register, but since it's not an exact science, it's not a big deal.

So that's why my ipod songs aren't showing up?  If I sync my ipod with my computer before playing any music, they'll transfer?
 
 My ipod reflects my music listening habits much more accurately because it goes everywhere with me, so I'll be interested in seeing what it changes on my charts.

i have such an absurdly enormous apartment (it's very very expensive, and in a very very cool part of the city) that my computer is set up way too far away from my kick-ass high end stereo ... i just hook my incredibly extravagant iPod into the stereo instead

well, first you need the  Jscrob2 (http://www.last.fm/forum/827/_/47398)  plug-in, instead of the usual iTunes plug-in (assuming you have a PC) ... make sure you pay attention to the instructions with jscrob, you need to have a Recently Played list specifically titled "Recently Played", so it can recognize the songs you've played from your iPod when you sync up
 
 the key is to turn "Enable Submissions" off when you sync your iPod and take it out to listen, then AFTER you sync your iPod and it updates your recently played, just turn "Enable Submissions" on again ... that way you don't trigger the "spam protection" that smackie was talking about ... sounds like a pain in the ass, but it becomes second-nature after a while

The rest of the world is going wireless.  You should think about it.  It's really cool - it renders wires and, in your case, really long distances, nearly obsolete.
 
 Or are you waiting for the new Telecommunications act to tell you it's ok to go wireless?

 And...wait...so now I can sync my iPod to the charts, too, with that plug in thing?  Is this what I'm gathering?

i actually thought it would be a bit too blatantly ostentatious to go wireless, i don't like to show my wealth off like that ... the wires running around my house say:  "hey, he's a normal guy, just like you or me"

When you have a job and are confined to an office on a Friday with nothing to do but hit refresh on a stupid message board all day, you'll understand why we don't have time to wait around for those who have better things to do...

what i find really interesting about our group charts is that whenever it's the week of a semi-big show, the bands playing are ALWAYS the most listened to.

Ding ding ding.
 
 I never realized how skewed my top artists list was.  That's what happens when you obsessively d/l out-of-print GBV b-sides and begin rebuilding your library complete with ratings and the like.  
 
 My weekly list usually shows a more reliable cross-section of what I'm listening too (at work, at least):
 
 Sonic Youth          59
 The Who              55
 Espers               21
 Johnny Cash          13
 Anthrax              10
 Dinosaur Jr.          7
 Boris                 7
 Minutemen             3
 The Flaming Lips      2

 So your excited the departed members got back together.  Not so sure Scotti Ian or my brother are that happy.  Me, I wouldnt mind seeing Joey at lead one more time if they come back around. My favorite album has always been "Persistence Of Time".
Title: Re: Friday fun...
Post by: nkotb on July 10, 2006, 01:05:00 pm
Odd; I thought I had heard that a year or two ago, but I never saw confirmation and figured it was just a rumor.  Are they touring with that line-up?  I would go ape for that, especially if they threw in I'm The Man.  
 
 I pretty much lost interest after the Public Enemy track they did.  I think the only classic line-up album I don't have at this point is Spreading the Disease, and I just got word that it's on it's way through lala.com.

 It's not just a rumor, they've been touring with the old lineup for at least six months now. (It's also on their web site). They even played in this area either in Baltimore or JAXX awhile ago with the lineup, I didn't make that one though, I think I was out of town.  They were much heavier with Bush at lead but both versions of Anthrax are great in my opinion.  As for the PE song, it was great when it first came out, but now when everyone that doesn't know the music thinks of Anthrax, they think of that song.

your INDIVIDUAL charts wouldn't be affected by what other people in the group play ... your individual charts are just that, what you listen to ... they update weekly, so your overall artists and weekly artists and stuff like that can be off for a while
 
 the songs you listen to contribute to the collective group charts in all the groups you belong to
