Something About Music

I'm not really a big music listener. It wasn't until I started work — where we listen to the radio all day — that I actually started buying my own CDs. Shocking, that?

Anyway, I've joined last.fm so that I've got something to bop along to when I'm studying my course guides for the next month or so. Feel free to view my profile and laugh at my music tastes or something  :P

    You actually have a good taste in music. My favorite song on your list would have to Sinéad O'Connor 's "Fire on Babylon".

    I would laugh at you, but my last.fm is... well, it's quite shameful.

    Wow, I never would have guessed. I love Bjork but didn't think you'd ever be one to listen to her.  :P

    "Your musical compatibility rating with jemjabella is: Unknown.

    Once jemjabella listens to more music, your compatibility score will be shown here."

    Hear that, Jem? You need to listen to more music! I want to see how low our compatibility is.

    OMG you listen to music!

    Well, you listen to some good music, actually.  :P Not as varied as my own taste, but still not so bad. I didn't know you listen to Christina Aguilera. :O

    Well it's definitely not my style but to each his own. You're a wierd-o.

    Queen and Bjork. That's all I can say is on my playlist. I guess we won't be neighbors.  :P

    I was so shocked when you mentioned you didn't particularly care about music. All my programmer classmates/friend always listen to music while programming coding. I can't stand that silence, plus here in the office sometimes the guys start to shout so I have to put on my headphones if I want to concentrate  :P

    I like Sinead O'Connor and NoDoubt... I can't see the rest. Generally I like songs, not so much bands. That was back in high school XP

    I also got into music from my first job. Delivering pizzas, listening to the radio 6 hours a day will have that effect. Now I can't go anywhere without my ipod!!

    Oh wow, thanks for reminding me that I have a last.fm account! I don't use it very often (I'm not a big music listener either), but I have sent you a friend request anyways. =)

    Wow, you're more mainstream than I thought you would be. You get kudos for Alanis, though. ;-)

    your taste is scattered... much like mine. I remember you once mentioning you like ac/dc... it's hard to imagine that people who like them will also listen to the likes of lily allen etc, but eh. i do. what you like is what you'd like.

    if i had a last.fm, i'd probably be your neighbor  :)

    I give you a thumbs up for No Doubt. But you must listen to some of their other songs!  :P

    If you like last.fm, you might really enjoy imeem.com too. you can make playlists, look up other ones, find pretty hard to find music and all with out having to download anything. it's my fav music site.  XD

    Pandora is also a lot of fun if you want to find new music!  :)

    The paid membership is quite reasonable also, £1.50/month and it unlocks all sorts of membership-only features.

    I'm a big music fan (can't be without IPOD for longer then 5 min's lol) Anywho, I never liked the radio because of all the talking and ad's and what not, but it's on all day at work for me to, and I don't mind it anymore hehehe

    It's been ages since I last been there, I only remembered it because of your friend-invitation. I'm trying to get it to work but generally I get only 30 second songs which don't seem to show up in my profile.

    Thanks for reminding me!

    High musical compatibilities for the win. Major kudos for R.E.M - seeing them on your playlist makes me a Shiny Happy...Person.

    (You'll get it, even if nobody else does.)

    I love your playlist! My bff and I always love when Bohemian Rhapsody comes on the radio...we get a little carried away with the headbangin'...we're just hilarious throughout the whole song. We used to make video montages when we were teens, and that was always our fave to do...now if I haven't embarrassed myself enough...heh.

    I just visited your playlist. You love the Queen? Would you believe that I attended the We Will Rock You musical a few weeks ago and it was performed by Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor as well as Ben Elton! =) It was very worth it. Bohemian Rhapsody was my favourite song!
