Are you on Last.fm?

My apologies if this has already been discussed (did a search, though, and couldn't find anything). Is anyone else using Last.fm?

i have been using lastfm a lot lately. they play a lot of good garage. i like it a lot better than pandora cuz the lack of commercials and the more verity of music. i just made a profile on lastfm for my band but it's been hard to get the radio station to work i think i need people to try to listen to the tracks on the profile.

Added a bunch of you ... Since I know for sure you all have fabulous taste, it's going to make the "My Friends Radio" station extra-specially awesome. :)

Last.fm is currently the bane of my existence. The site is cool and the features are cool, but the similar artists for our band is all jacked and there's no way to fix it. Pretty frustrating, also frustrating to get them to delete the pictures when your lineup changes and stuff. 

I guess it's my fault for ignoring last.fm for the last four years. We used to be on a super extra-punk label and I guess a lot of bands who wanted to be on that label tagged their stuff as being similar to ours and it's not at all. Just as an example listen to this song and then click on any of the "similar artists" - apples to oranges.

 

Anyone else have their band's stuff up there? Have you ever had this problem? Right now we're trying to get our street team to "scrobble" so that this gets fixed, but they don't say how often they re-set the "similar artists" thingy

I'm amazed that my musical compatibility with nearly everybody else who's posted so far is either "very high" or "super."

@Justin - It doesn't really work like that, the similar artists are determined by people's listening habits, and how they tag bands/songs. You basically have to find people on there who listen to bands that YOU think your band sounds like, and add them as friends, then ask them to listen to and tag your band. It's a huge pain in the ass.

As far as the photos go, I think you're pretty much screwed. Last.fm is all Wiki-based, so anyone can add whatever they want and it seems like there's very little moderation going on over there.
