Do not attempt to do it unless you're really bored and have lots of time to kill.


First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.

Which means I have quite a varied music taste.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/macychick/journal/2010/03/25/3iks83_shuffle_survey Thu, 25 Mar 2010 21:06:28 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/macychick/journal/2010/03/25/3iks83_shuffle_survey Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

I Do It For Love

You sinners, drop everything
Go ahead, push your luck
Every time I look in the mirror
Maybe it's silly for me to feel this way

All the waiters in your bright cafe
It's a rainy day in Melbourne
Think of me, think of me fondly
Winter here's cold and bitter

Restless to begin a wave comes crashing in
In my last life upon this shore
Tonight you're mine completely
I heard that you were drunk and mean

I've been so many places in my life and time
Beauty's out walking
I will remember you
I'm sorry that I left you with your questions all alone

You said the world was magic
Willing and able to run
Who do you think you are
The moment that she realized

BONUS: Guess the title and artist of each song!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/macychick/journal/2010/03/07/3gvxth_artists_to_check_out_more_of.. Sun, 7 Mar 2010 03:17:26 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/macychick/journal/2010/03/07/3gvxth_artists_to_check_out_more_of.. Massive Attack
