Music discoveries

Discovered few quite interesting music related services lately -



first is "last.fm" which is service collecting info on music you're listening and then it allows some cool things to do

• allows you to see what you or your friends are listening, what's their usual music scheme for a workday etc. (being nice social research tool)
  
• connects you to people with similar music taste
• suggests new music you may like and might not be aware of
• creates personalised radio station for you, based on your very own music taste

I've been bit skeptical when jimmac introduced me to this, but now i totally love the idea ;)

Second music related thing is MusicBrainz service and especially the music tagging tool. It's free, and is exactly what i needed to solve the mess in my mp3 library - analyses your mp3 files, and downloads missing ID3 tags for files it identifies. It also allows you to choose appropriate matching entries in database for those it can't identify for some reason. YAY!

Yet Another Dog Related Blog Post.

Having a puppy means lots of changes, one of the most positive and appreciated is that i'm wallking in the surrounding woods and hills every early morning for about hour - which seems to be very refreshing and stimulating (if i wasn't wasted from waking up at 3am to walk Koudy for his needs, that is ;) ). Also meeting other dog-infected people is interesting, everyone is nice, everyone shares the dog news etc - must confess i have met about double new people in a month than in a year before.
