Here's to 2009 and another year filled with awesome songs!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/cait4328/journal/2008/06/26/21idr6_music_quizzes Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:11:34 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/cait4328/journal/2008/06/26/21idr6_music_quizzes dude i am so much more "eclectic" this year. check it out:

Take your top 20 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 5 similar artists. The resulting number of unique artists is your eclectic score. If the score is small (extreme = 5) your musical preferences are very limited, and if it is large (larger than 80, extreme = 100), then you have an eclectic musical preference. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/eclectic.php
