i had last.fm yeaaaaars ago. i probably started using it about 3 years ago, havent used it for about a year and a half though. they used to have a code for the feeds, so you could make your own 'what i'm listening to' image for signatures from complete scratch. it was awesome. then they got rid of it, and i didnt see a purpose for me to use it any more. i dont really like the image maker on the site.

mine was last.fm/user/slstratocaster. other than radiohead being #1, i dont listen to the majority of the music there anymore. so thats another reason i havent been using it. i might start again though.
