You got it, yet another current Internet fad that certain people whom will rename nameless have told me to try.

Although this is actually different. I like this one. Do yourself a favor and check out Last-FM. In a nutshell, it is a HUGE, and I do mean HUGE, catalog of music. Notice I didn’t say popular music. I agree that I tend to listen to some rather off-color music from time to time. However, one thing last-fm has shown me is that I am far from alone.

Create a free account and login. It is super simple and super fast. Type an artist that you like and within seconds you will be listening to music that is similar to your requested artist. You can even ban songs that you don’t like, and you will never hear them again.

Better STILL is that there is a console based player for it called shell-fm. Same basic idea, but I can run it in a text only console shell on my Linux box.

Check out my last-fm music profile page to see exactly what I mean. At the top of this page there is a list of my last 10 (or so) songs that I have listened to.
