Last.fm today. Reading around their blog, and came up with this. It's still a demo and has some bugs, but listening to your music by tags and not by artists is an awesome idea. I've been using it and I'm pretty happy with it, especially since it's my own library. Made me an electronic/psychedelic mixed with some Canadian music and female vocalists, and it's been fucking awesome. Deerhunter, Apostle of Hustle, Yeasayer, Frou Frou, Handsome Furs, etc. Playlists I couldn't come up with by myself.

Another one of Last.fm's blog posts here. Apparently Techcrunch, which is a retarded enough site by itself, posted some false (and rather malicious) rumors about Last.fm. I read about it, was disgusted, and visited the Techcrunch article, and was even more disgusted. The author seems bent on not retracting or apologizing for anything, despite the rumor being debunked just about everywhere, even by the RIAA. So yeah I don't think Techcrunch is a very reputable site, avoid it if you ever feel a need for news on the internet.
