Last.fm Reviews

9 Best Free Music Download Sites in 2022
Last.fm is the flagship product of Audioscrobbler's music engine design team. Users "record" tracks more than 10 million times a day to Last FM's servers, it's one of the world's largest social music platforms.
9 best free Spotify alternatives
Last.fm is more about music discovery than listening to what you already know: its famous "scrobbling" analyses the songs you listen to (not just on the site, but in desktop and mobile music apps too) and comes up with suggestions for similar music it thinks you'll like. Frustratingly many of the available tracks are just previews, and the free radio streaming is a paid-for...

  • I Couldn't Be More In Love
    I was reading an interview where he was dissecting the album ABIIOR and he had said that it was harder for him to sing more "intensely". Which is insane because he absolutely f***ing killed it. The emotion, the meaning, all of it. I thought it was such a heart stab when he said that he described the vocals as, " ...kind of guttural. I was really upset and scared. I feel like there's a hopelessness in the vocal... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Phoenix lyrics
    Would love a book like that, mostly I just go the songfacts.com to see actual facts about the songs and the inspiration behind it. But Phoenix mostly keep to themselves the inspiration of most of their songs. But I have so many questions about so many songs. I would like to know what they actually meant like fences, armistice, run run run, sometimes in the fall, one time too many and much more... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Songs inspired by (or associated with) movies
    "One" — According to songfacts.com the song was based on the 1939 novel Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo, which James Hetfield read. In a 1989 interview of Lars Ulrich, however, he seems to suggest that the band chose the video because it was similar in theme. According to this article, Het had the basic idea for the song, prompting their manager to suggest he read the book. In any case, book, movie and song... Source: over 1 year ago

  • Does anyone know if the flies in hey you are a synth or a sound effect?
    Thanks! I thought you were joking because of Roger's This Is Not A Drill tour, but now I see this trivia that came to Wikipedia via songfacts.com: "...chief sound engineer, James Guthrie created the worm-eating sound effect by using the faintly audible sound of a hand-held power drill boring into an undefined material.".

  • The day I canceled my Spotify subscription
    I switched to https://qobuz.com, mainly for the high audio quality (it goes up to 192kHz 24bit, which is worth it for me as I have the necessary equipment to make use of this), but it also supports "Spotify quality" i.e. Mp3 quality/320 kbps, but I stayed for the experience. It does not really have an algorithm, there is one playlist "My weekly Q", which updates each week with songs that you could like. The only... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
  • Mr. Bungle - Nananana (lost fake song)
    Hi, anyone remember that song? I remember I downloaded it from ares and I liked it but unfortunately it wasn't by mr bungle, it was just mislabelled (like the toxic cover). If anyone has it around I would like to hear it again! On last.fm it comes up as some people listen to it from time to time. Any info you have, or the original artist, I'd appreciate it. From what I remember it sounded like a demo and just said... Source: 4 months ago
  • 1970’s music makes me feel the most alive. What music does that for you?
    Try last.fm, great website for recommending music. Those one's you suggested are a bit more jazzy than I usually listen to but maybe try What's Goin' On - Marvin Gaye. Talking Book, or Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder. Couple of my favorites. Source: 4 months ago

  • I Tried Apple Music and That Made Me Realize How Much Polish TIDAL is Missing
    However, I can fully enjoy my last.fm subscription with Tidal thanks to the integrated scrobbler. I could with AM too but it would be necessary to download (and buy) two different scrobblers : one for iOS and one for macOS. Then, I feel like Tidal has more interesting recommendations, especially when we talk about lesser-known artists. Tidal Rising allows for nice discoveries while AM is much more focused on music...
