Can anyone tell me what the deal is with LastFM.com ?
Do I need to download a special player app?
Will it tell the Russians the last time I had a healthy bowl movement?
Is this a free music thing?
or what?9:55am : Plants live a thousand lifetimes in a matter of months....their job is to replicate DNA and survive. It's their JERB!9:58am : all the plants i have are destined to become short and squat, all bonsai. i just bought some sapling plants: Japanese black pine, two different oaks, a cluster of 3 crape myrtle, a trio of redbud; and i already have a nice jade, a chinese privet in a small glass dish, a sad upright fushia(sp), .... and i gave away all the plants that MUST have sun. the window these are in faces northwest.. a grow-light is in order9:59am : @annie my mom just got a couple small clip-on grow lights and so far she loves them10:03am : good morning Dad if you're reading this10:04am : hhmm. i'll have to see what's out there, i bet a nice selection. those of you who know me on FB will see the pics..10:08am : That sounds like a cool project Annie, looking forward to the pics. My common areas don't get the sun I would need for some of the plants I want, so I'm growing more pothos (or as I learned from one site "Devil's Ivy").🥁 10:09am : What? No love for Revelation Revolution '69?!10:15am : i'm actually going to post a shot of my view with a morning-light aspect..then you'll see what i am working with for light10:21am : Back to business, Bob!10:22am : so - deep soul meditation on life & death becomes pop meditation on soured romance! wow. :-D10:22am : rocket to fame right there :-D10:23am : @Lix Life Last.fm has changed a bit - they used to stream music, but now stream via Spotify. It seems that it’s a layer for people who are into ‘data’ about their mainstream music-listening habits. I don’t get the sense that the typical ‘FMU’er is the target demographic.10:26am : E.g- they have a “music discovery” tool that lets you dial two circles of a venn diagram the dials cycle thru common genres and periods of time. If you put something like ‘1940’s’ and ‘electronic’ together there are zero results and you’re told you are ahead of your time.10:28am : Great tunes!🥁 10:30am : Revolution. Soundtrack great. Movie not so much.10:32am : @ exile-on-hicks-st:
Thanks for the help.
It doesn't seem like it's something I'd want to sign up for.
You just saved me a lot of frustration.10:32am : you've done it Bob! i was outside the door bringing in firewood & started looking around for the peepers. confused :-D10:34am : got to sign off.
get into the sunshine before its gone.🥁 10:47am : Sad to hear about Buell. There was a fantastic recording with Taylor and Archie Shepp from the early sixties. Can't remember the name.10:49am : This Cecil Taylor is great!10:58am : rarely consider & feel thankful for my hearing ~ but Cecil Taylor helps me remember!11:01am : 2 disc a labelled that way are for record stacking on the turntable spindle. stack two, let 2 drop, flip the stack & it plays in order
