The Social Music Revolution



Last.FM is a social networking site that focuses on peoples addiction to music. In my opinion, it is the greatest social networking site out there, because it allows you to communicate and befriend people with similar musical interests as you. The most addictive quality of this website though, is the fact that it 'scrobbles' all the music you listen to on your computer/iPod and displays your music habits in the form of charts. It is a pretty rad feature that can get anyone really addicted to this site and even slightly obsessed with perfecting their music charts so that they accurately reflect how you rank your favourite bands. The scrobbling can be slightly inaccurate though, my Last.FM charts never match my iTunes play count, but that is just something you have to overcome, otherwise the obsession to perfect your charts will slowly consume your soul. I have been a member since the 16th of February, 2010 and I have never looked back since. In that time, I have scrobbled over 50,000 plays and this is how my Top Artists chart looks overall:

Take care not to make it angry, or it may inflate steadily

Yes, I did take the title from my Wigglytuff's pokedex entry on Pokemon Soulsilver

I got my first pokemon game when I was so young that I dont even remember what year it was. I was blesses with Blue version and a lime green Gameboy colour, I have never looked back since that day. My name is Harry, I am 20 years old and I am proud to be addicted to Pokemon. I also believe it gets more fun with age, because the level of planning and strategy becomes so much more interesting, but I always choose my pokemon based on what my heart tells me. I want my pokemon to be my friends, I love them like my family.


This is my Wigglytuff, her name is Mowgli (named after the Marina & The Diamonds song 'Mowgli's Road'). She is one of the co-leaders of my team, along with my Charmeleon, Spiral (named after the Nightrage song 'Spiral'). Spiral was my starter pokemon, but it wasnt long before my family started to expand. The next members to join were my Heracross, named Slider (after the T. Rex album and song by the same name) and Icky, my Muk (taken from The White Strpes album/song 'Icky Thump'). Then after a complex pursuit, an Abra named Wizard (a reference to the T. Rex song 'The Wizard) joned our band of friends. The final addition to my family was a Magnezone named 1000 (after the Popstrangers song '1000').
