Not so long ago, the
Last.fm service that appeared promised to bury essential radio stations with honors. I do not know how in your case, but it didn’t work in mine. Partly, of course, from the fact that I do not listen to the radio. There are several reasons, but now it is not about them.
In this regard, I had one problem - most of the pleasant new products I heard, at best, a couple of months after their appearance. And that, far from always. And then ... I could not take advantage of such an excellent opportunity - after all, I was promised that the smart piece of hardware will analyze my tastes, compare them with similar ones, and let me listen to something I did not even suspect. And I joined the Komsomol.
Impatience is a terrible thing. After listening to five hundred songs, I asked an all-knowing ash tree - dear, what can you offer me? He grunted, and said that he did not have enough data to tell me something interesting.

It was pointless to argue with such authority, so WinAmp, left in an empty apartment, randomly thrashed a playlist of over six thousand songs for a whole week. Everything to tell the killer of radio stations about my musical tastes.
And now, oh joy, I waited. I got some neighbors. Like my real neighbors, these Sunday morning loudly listened to Megadeath and Anthrax. But Last.fm even stubbornly did not want to notice. In my recommendations there were all sorts of boys like girls (and not just voices) playing acoustic indie rock.
One day I spat on tastes, and asked for a Russian pop pop boom box, saying that I want to listen to something similar to the Brilliant. He understood me in his own way, issuing something from the Pugachiha and the Golden Ring.
I always guessed that the souls of poets are at least reinforced concrete. But did not consider himself a poet. Therefore broke on the other.
Yesterday, having decided to listen to some jazz, I looked for groups with a similar name. And when I first saw it, I realized that I had missed a lot of important musical events. It turns out that jazz is already playing Pink Floyd, Bjork, Portishead and Massive Attack.
Returning to my good old WinAmp with the time to become a native music, I thought - if the invasions of machines are to be feared, it is invasions of such jukeboxes on the radio. And no Bach & Steel radio stations will not save. Although they are one of the reasons why I do not like modern radio.
Yes, if you suddenly want to find me there -
you are welcome . You look, at least from my rather broad musical outlook someone will benefit.
