Although a member for a good while longer, I’ve only really been using Last.fm for just over six months. It’s pretty good. I like the way it recommends stuff based on your listening history – I’ve found some new stuff through that, which is nice. The charts that show your favourite bands and tracks are particularly cool. My top 15 most listened to bands of the last six months-or-so is very shoegaze/post rock biased:

1. Slowdive 
2. Stars of the Lid
3. Helios
4. Sigur Ros
5. Goldmund
6. M83
7. Immanu El
8. Mahogany
9. Mogwai
10. God is an Astronaut
11. Boards of Canada
12. My Bloody Valentine
13. Monster Movie
14. Styrofoam
15. Eluvium

Basically, I like stuff that drones. I pretty much know something is going to be my bag when I read words and terms in a review like dischord, processed sound, tape loops, repetition and electronica. Nice.
