Oh deary me, isn't that always the way? Another maths assignment due very soon and I discover the joys of Amarok. Apart from being able to sort through my music collection, arrange music/albums/playlists meaningfully, download lyrics from the internet, download entries from Wikipedia, produce cute little icons for album covers, recommend similar sounding music (all of this done automatically) . . . loads and loads of stuff . . . but apart from that, it also has this option to play strange, random tracks from some kind of internet radio thing (something to do with last.fm) and I'm rapidly losing track of all the amazing music its presented me with. Of particular note was something from 'Pigs of the Roman Empire' by Melvins/Lustmord (or The Melvins?!), a track called 'Ossan Ossan Ore Nanbo' (from the album Garyuu) by Miyavi, something by Autechre and then something just called Track 63 by The Gerogerigegege, but his stuff doesn't sound all that available. Damn it. There were loads of other tracks I listened to but I haven't had a chance to make meaningful notes. This entry, were it not obvious, is somewhere for me to dump these artists/albums/track-titles for later use. Ah . . . now that's clever. Amarok actually (having ticked that box) submits all the music I listen to back to last.fm and when I log in to their web-site, it has full information of all the artists, albums and everything. Wow. Suddenly my music collection seems somewhat shallow and limited. Oh, and A****** has started walking.
