Your 21.04% means that you listen to more of the music that most people listen to than I do, so your musical taste is towards what's more popular than what's more obscure. And this could be taken as either a good thing or a bad thing! Thanks, LB - request sent.

I actually pay a few bucks each month to get the extra features and no ads. Since almost everything i listen to is done on my PC or iPod, its a pretty accurate record of what i listen to. I am 11.78 % mainstream I’ve been using last.fm since 2004 (http://www.last.fm/user/ithinkdancan/) and love it. I actually pay a few bucks each month to get the extra features and no ads.

So if you play some jazz or classical music, for example, the artist/composer and track names are sent up to the Last.fm site. It's likely that others on Last.fm will share your taste in music, and you can then tune in to their "radio station" and find other music you might like. If you like any kind of music, it's well worth trying. Well, it’s not so much about favourite bands, Mardé, as about finding recommendations for music you might like.

It's about favorite bands. Since I don't really have any, I guess I have a zero reading on the Mainstream-O-Meter. But I do like your site, and the "Hey, is this thing on?" really gave me laugh. Humor is great! Oh dear, I’m sorry. It’s about favorite bands. Since I don’t really have any, I guess I have a zero reading on the Mainstream-O-Meter.

I've been away from blogging for about a week or so, so I expect a couple thousand new features have appeared in my absence! But it sounds interesting, I'll check it out because I feel that I'm not in the mainstream, especially the Mainstream Media. LOL I never heard of Last.fm, but that’s not unusual.
