In honor of getting Lucinda William's new album West yesterday, I just ripped three older albums of hers that I've had for years (so that I now have all eight of her major releases in my iTunes) and am having a Lucinda Fest today.

The new album seems just OK, but hers usually take a while to sink in for me.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/rubyji/journal/2006/02/01/40by_missed_connection Wed, 1 Feb 2006 04:19:26 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/rubyji/journal/2006/02/01/40by_missed_connection I loved this entry from the AttentionTrust blog:

YOU: Wildly successful, attention-data-based startup.

ME: Passionate advocate for user control of attention data. And a faithful, long-time, admirer from afar. Sure, I've had some issues, but I know we could work it out.

I've tried to reach you before, but I've never heard back from you. Maybe your admin thinks I'm a stalker? Call me--you won't regret it.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/rubyji/journal/2006/02/01/40bx_who%27s_paying_attention_to_what_you_pay_attention_to%3F Wed, 1 Feb 2006 04:17:02 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/rubyji/journal/2006/02/01/40bx_who%27s_paying_attention_to_what_you_pay_attention_to%3F Have you ever wondered what last.fm is doing - or wants to do, or could do - with all of this information we are creating here every day?

Well so has Ed Batista of the Attention Trust. He's set up a new group here for last.fm users who are interested in this issue.

I hope the group will be a place where we can discuss how our information is used, and how we think it should be used. I really want to encourage everyone to join this group to show how much this matters to us.

Check out the attention trust last.fm group!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/rubyji/journal/2006/01/31/40bw_how_useless_is_this_message_from_last.fm%3F Tue, 31 Jan 2006 16:22:02 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/rubyji/journal/2006/01/31/40bw_how_useless_is_this_message_from_last.fm%3F Some tracks you submitted have not been added to your profile for the following reason:
The track you submitted appears to be badly tagged - please check the file's tags.

Since I have been listening to music for the last 2 hours, I could use some kind of HINT about which track has a problem. Otherwise there's nothing I can even do about this.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/rubyji/journal/2006/01/27/40bv_welcome%2C_neighbors Fri, 27 Jan 2006 23:13:29 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/rubyji/journal/2006/01/27/40bv_welcome%2C_neighbors I just got new neighbors today!

After readon that there was some problem with them, I was starting to think I was just stuck with the one batch I got at first.

However the match percentage still isn't above %20 even in the new batch of neighbors. I guess I'll take that to mean I am unique, which is a good thing.

I am especially interested in checking out this neighbor's musical tastes: harmolodicnet.

He has lots of interesting-looking stuff on his list that I've never even heard of, I don't see that much.]]>
