I shall join this, despite very probably having a 'Very Low' compatability rating with everyone in it. I do use a thoroughly different name and avatar over there though, just to confuse everyone.

WMP is incompatible with sanity?

Im on, fingers crossed the plugin will behave, last time I had enough of it freaking out was april last year.

Runcle, try downloading one of the older plugins. Might have less compatibility issues with it trying to do less stuff. Or are you already using one of them?

Runcle · **Posted:** Fri May 09, 2008 18:31

Ive downloaded the latest thing and its working fine so far.

At the risk of this becoming a 'name that tune' thread, can anyone 'name that tune' for me... it was a sorta dance track but with a Soviet melody, and lyrics along the line of 'do you dance in MOTHERRR RUSSIAAAAA'.

LewieP · **Joined:** 29th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 7600

This is probably the best song ever.

metalangel · **Posted:** Mon May 12, 2008 23:14

That was playing looped in the background of the SA forums ages ago. It's rather clever in its attempt at concealing the rudeness.

Does everyone have the same issue that I do with song scrobbling?

That is, it updates about three times a week, instead of all the time, thus rendering it annoying.

CUS · **Posted:** Tue May 13, 2008 11:07

I... don't find it annoying. Rarely does vexation encroach upon me at this. Er. Are you just trying to tamper with your stats so you look cooler and stuff? We don't mind that you like the Tweenies albums, Curiosity, we accept you.

myp · **Posted:** Tue May 13, 2008 11:12

Mine seems to update very quickly, which is super-awesome seeing as it picks up everything I've been playing on my iPhone, also.

CUS · **Posted:** Tue May 13, 2008 11:16

Ooo! I didn't think there might be a last.fm plugin for the iPhone. Neato!

Incidentally, are we all going to add our new iPhone 'tags' to the Gamertags thread?

Nope, just that I was thinking of having one of those last.fm sig things, but if it only updates very occasionally, I won't bother...

CUS · **Posted:** Tue May 13, 2008 15:18

Aha. Nah, that bothers with about an hour's delay, I think. But your charts are only worked out a couple of times a week just to save on their server time. My previous sig (which I removed now we've a group and when I realised I'd been listening to the same albums all week anyway) was updated v. regularly, though not immediately.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue May 13, 2008 16:41

It's not the charts so much as the 'just listened to' part that is slow for me.

myp · **Posted:** Fri Jun 20, 2008 17:09

Has anyone checked out Fleet Foxes yet? You'll love them if you like your folky pop stuff with four and five part harmonies.

CUS · **Posted:** Fri Jun 20, 2008 17:27

Not as yet, but the music mags I buy have been all about them, as have a couple of sites I check. Looking forward to actually hearing them, the descriptions are wonderful. All melodic and pretty and that.

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 19:37

This tickled my fancy.

I have also been listening to Emilie Autumn which I found on a random link from some Amanda Palmer searching. I got the mp3 album, and I'd say that if you like the sound of a violin playing, harpsichord backed, slightly unbalanced victorian sort of Tori Amos then she's the girl for you.

You can hear all the album here - http://cdbaby.com/cd/eautumn4

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 20:31

Another thing I got today, http://cdbaby.com/cd/quitzow2

If you like Robots in Disguise, you'll probably like her.

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2008 22:06

I forgot just how much I love this track, until I remembered to listen to it again this evening.

It's beautiful.

The only Catherine Wheel song I really know is Judy Staring At The Sun, and then admittedly largely because it has ex-Throwing Muses/Belly siren Tanya Donelly singing on it. :kiss:

Incidentally, remember, use the 'youtube' tag and put the unique bit of the URL in between. e.g. [ youtube ] HF24t3y [ /youtube ] (but minus the spaces)

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Fri Jul 18, 2008 21:13

I like that track. I don't like embedded youtube because I can't carry on browsing the forum while letting it play in another tab, whereas a straight pasted URL lets me do that.

And I'm so rubbish I didn't even realize two of The Pipettes had left.

So here's my favourite song, sung by Rosay no longer I guess.

currently:

Laser Hannon by Cutting Pink With Knives

hardcore/noisecore (what?) mixed with 80s style synth pop with screamo (look I'm sorry okay?) vocals. I really like it and I'm not sure why.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-52EP7XAzs

did take a couple of listens though.

That sounds like Polysics. But Emoish.

I've noticed that a pub near here has been plugging a Diamond Head gig and with my wonderful memory, by the time I get home, I've forgotten to check the website for more info. Turns out it's tomorrow.

Probably going a tad mad on the topic front, but I couldn't see a music one so though, 'hey! there's an idea'

So what sort of music gets you? Are you a random music lover or do you stick to a genre in particular?

http://www.youtube.com/user/ScabbyKat

That's the kind of stuff I listen to...yes...there is Mika on there-bite me

My fave's are: LINKIN PARK, Maroon 5, Incubus, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Daft Punk and more!

More music than I could throw a stick at, though my Green Man thread a page ago has some choice loveliness on it. Unfortunatley, I have no time to list my fave music as ironically I am swamped with returned music CD's to put back on the shelf and I'm the only one manning this blimmin' music library today and its the day after bank holiday arrrgh!

For some reason my brain has turned this into a Harry Hill show segment involving his brother Alan. Just thought you'd like to know.

Someone photoshop (I was about to say 'knock up' but stopped myself in time) a picture of a slightly pudgy, pale girl with converse BOOTS and a myoptika haircut wearing a hoodie with that emblazoned on it.

I can't remember the last time I used Last FM. My PC not connecting to the net puts me off listening to music while I work as I have to use the laptop.

AceAceBaby · **Posted:** Wed Aug 27, 2008 17:47

Last.fm was being peculiar today. It would show me my "currently listening" on the website, but stopped showing my recently played tracks after about 8:30 am. Even though it must have been scrobbling because the current track was still showing all day.

There is a BETEO group on last.fm - I share music taste with AceAceBaby and very few others.
