non sequitur:
Emilie Autumn australian tour next year! pure win!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/xlephierprime/journal/2008/06/15/20wbwb_fuck_you_to_hell%2C_last.fm Sun, 15 Jun 2008 02:37:15 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/xlephierprime/journal/2008/06/15/20wbwb_fuck_you_to_hell%2C_last.fm did you know, i just lost FIVE HUNDRED PLAYS from my ipod, because the FUCKING OFFICIAL CLIENT HAS AS MUCH IDEA OF WHAT TO DO WITH MY IPOD AS THE UNITED STATES HAS ABOUT IRAQ. WHICH IS NONE. NO IDEA.

i'm going to add up all the scrobbles i've lost to either the official client's incompetence, or the stupid fucking spam filter, which also doesn't know what a portable mp3 player is.

oh wait, i've already done it. it comes to TWO THOUSAND SCROBBLES.

2,000.

that's like 10% of my total tracks LOST FOREVER because SOMEONE (i'm looking at you, last.fm) uses a fucking SMACKTARDED ALGORITHM for finding plays on ipods.

everyone else is like "oh hey, let's look at the file on the ipod which keeps a record of everything that gets played!"

but that's too SIMPLE and ELEGANT and SENSICAL [sic] for the official client! the official client is all like "why don't i wait for itunes to sync the ipod, THEREBY WIPING ITS LIST OF SONGS PLAYED, and hope that itunes actually updates the play counts of the library accordingly (ed: WHICH IT FUCKING NEVER DOES) and then scan through THE ENTIRE FUCKING MUSIC LIBRARY (ed: which is FOUR THOUSAND FUCKING SONGS, WHICH TAKES A FUCK OF A LONG TIME) and compare the playcounts to the last time i scanned, which i may or may not have COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN TO EITHER DO OR MAKE A RECORD OF DOING! BRILLIANT! TRULY I AM THIS GENERATION'S EINSTEIN, IN COMPUTER FORM!"

no.

it's the stupidest system you could possibly implement to solve this problem.

i fucking hate you, official last.fm client. i wish i could hate you to death.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/xlephierprime/journal/2008/05/10/e0tw2_success%21 Sat, 10 May 2008 07:28:39 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/xlephierprime/journal/2008/05/10/e0tw2_success%21 after weeks of strenuous, effortful listening to Machinae Supremacy, who are currently (and have been for the past month or so) my absolute favourite metal band of any kind, i've finally managed to knock The Cat Empire off the top of my charts.

it is done.

let us rejoice!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/xlephierprime/journal/2008/04/28/e0tr9_jeebus_haemorrhaging_circle Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:00:02 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/xlephierprime/journal/2008/04/28/e0tr9_jeebus_haemorrhaging_circle holy shit that was epic!

the BIFFY CLYRO CONCERT was pure rock! and by rock i mean awesome.

i don't actually know any of the song names (with one notable exception, which i'll get to later), but they played some stuff i recognized off puzzle, and also infinity land. understandably, i didn't recognize some other stuff, because i only have two albums. i'm pretty sure Who's Got A Match? was somewhere near the start.

however!

they played a lot of stuff, but not the song i was waiting for. then they finished, and i was like "OMGWTF!"

then an ENCORE! it was WICKED!

BECAUSE:

they played...

Glitter and Trauma!!!

yes folks, you heard right. i personally would have paid forty dollars just to see that one song, but luckily almost all the other songs were good too.

damn it was some bitchin' shit.

i am going to listen to Chocolate Rain 100 times in one month.

count them, ONE HUNDRED TIMES.

that's like four times a day. this may kill me.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/xlephierprime/journal/2008/03/28/e0tiq_fuck_yes Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:20:31 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/xlephierprime/journal/2008/03/28/e0tiq_fuck_yes WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
