I have a new band at school and we have been sampling songs to record. I wanted to hear some solo acoustic/rock guitar songs and typed in James Blunt. I am very pleased to hear a series of workable pieces. will check out Last.fm and get a feeling of the difference. trying out pandora, so far so good for my needs.

However, it pales in comparison to Last.fm. As Steve Krause says, it's like Nature vs. Nurture. I think Last.fm is a much better product and a far-superior service. It has add-ons and features that Pandora simply cannot match. Last.fm is the power of a service using technology to enable social recommendation versus a smart algorithm.

(You didn't leave your number, btw, and my caller ID is whacked at the moment.) Toss me an email, if you have the chance. It would be great to hook up. Regards, ~G~ Hi Hugh,

It bypasses the visceral and throws the blandest selections at you. Thus I ditched it a couple of months ago.
