Last.fm radio changes hit November 17th. I have ended my subscription for that reason, and do not plan to resubscribe. However, I have decided not to pull my profile after all, at least for now. Instead I started this group to bring tag radios back.

Albums in the last year:


Albums overall:


My playlists and library tend to be very male-centric, deceptively so. Between the holy trinity of Bob Dylan / Leonard Cohen / Tom Waits and their worthy acolytes (Elvis Costello, Neil Young, John Darnielle, Nick Cave) you've got a huge chunk of my plays right there. Then there's my glam rock affection and my recent punk and dub/reggae obsessions. So there's a whoole lot of testosterone going on right there.

To make up somehow for that I want to show my appreciation for the ladies who most inspire and influence me personally in their amazingness. YOU SHOULD KNOW THEM WELL.


R.I.P Ari Up

Previous residents of the Wall of Awesome include: Patti Smith, Nina Simone, Nico, Poly Styrene, Lydia Lunch, Beth Ditto, PJ Harvey, and Kim Deal.
