I’ve spent the last couple of days playing around with the new version of Spotify, and have finally decided to shell out for premium on a trial basis. I must say – I’m impressed so far!

Been trying out the ‘Boffin’ tool from Last.fm this evening – and I’m astounded!
Basically, it scans your PC for music, groups it by tag, and then lets you play only music with a specific tag. For instance, I’ve had “Trance†selected for a while now, and it just keeps shoving on amazing tunes I didn’t even know I had!
Obviously, its on an Alpha release, but the technology demonstrated behind it is superb. Didn’t take long to scan my entire music library, and did a pretty good job (so far) of getting the tags and grouping them.
Its also nice to see what my music library mainly consists of (hope the picture works!):
Can’t wait to see this incorporated into the main Last.fm program!
Invaders must Die

Downloaded the new Prodigy album yesterday, and I’m currently in two minds as to whether I like it or not.
The title track is pretty awesome, and ‘Omen’ is epic (I owned that before), however a lot of the other stuff just isn’t their style, neither old school Prodigy or new-electro Prodigy.
I’d say I do regret buying this one, but its definitely one to get for free (not that I encourage that!)
Musical Tastes

Rather disturbed at my own musical tastes at the moment:
Daniel Bedingfield – Gotta Get Thru This – He Don’t Love You Like I Love You
And I’m enjoying… catchy lyrics, and he’s got a pretty good voice. I’m sure this is Music Tech eating me from the inside out!
Someone kill me or make me do something manly – QUICK!
