This post is titled What music drives you? by author SoulJah. Some may have noticed the section on the left side where I list out artists and number of plays? It's all powered by Last.fm website. It's like magic really... Well, not really. It just uploads track information (via a plugin of a media player of your choice) of the songs you are listening to and collates it into an online database where everyone can take a gander of your listening habits. I set it to display weekly the artists I'm listening to. Here's an example of the music I've been listening to this week.

What could I possible listening to 300+ times? Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra that's what. I found an almost complete discography of their works, with just a few missing albums. You can check out my Last.fm Profile and check out the snippets of songs they have by clicking on their name. Check out Sesame Street if you can. If you like how it sounds, I recommend you should find a way to obtain some of their albums.

So, why do this? I'm not sure myself. Maybe to show others what kinda music you listen to? And find like minded people? And then get listening suggestions from others with the same taste of you. That's how I'm slowly finding my way through the Ska music scene. And I'm just a number freak. I'd like to know how many times I listen to which artist or what not. And looking at the number of tracks played always makes you wonder how long you waste your time in front of the PC. Anyway check it out, and have a blast. Just be sure your ID3 tags for all your MP3s are proper, else it'd mess up and you won't get any links to anyother properly named and tagged MP3s from others.
