[Mod Post] New Music Group

2007-01-18T00:14:35Z

I made us a group on last.fm
http://www.last.fm/group/African%20Americans%20Like%20Jrock%202

What is last fm and how does it work? Well you install the plug in onto your music player. It then keeps track of your music and posts it on the web. With that, you find others of similar tastes and it can give you an individual (or group station tailored to your music if you're in a group). In addition, it gives you these nifty web buttons like I have below. You can take a tour of the site at http://www.last.fm/tour/

(If you click the link, you'll be taken to my playlist.)

I’m really glad I found this group. No one else around me is into the things I am. Especially being black, people think it weird that I rather listen to Asian pop over American hip hop, and that I drool over Asian guys, especially if its Bi, F4, or Kwon Sang Woo. Lol.
