Last FM

Amazon has this 'people who bought this also bought...'-type thing, and if you take that as a rec, it's usually spot on.

As for LastFM, I like how now they recommend new albums to you - it's how I found out that UNKLE, Junkie XL and Hybrid had new albums out, among others of course. As for artists...

Swell Maps
Kasey Charabers
Anna Nalick
The Mekons
The Orb
Prefab Sprout

...to name a few that should be interesting judging by what I've read about them.

Ah... I sort of feel the same way. There's quite a few tracks that I like, but some are really dull. It just feels like they're not reaching their full potential. If they dropped a lot of the wacky aspects (like on the first track) and went for a slightly more conventional Fair To Midland-esque sound I think I'd like it a lot more. I absolutely love the track that I submitted for the comp, that's them doing it right.
