In answer to yesterday's question: Fluxblog radio on last.fm

[blue-russian.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am a mentalist (more detail at the end of yesterday's discussion). Here's what I've been doing lately during downtime at work (click to listen):

At the moment, it's fairly stilted towards stuff I've liked, and goes back - erratically - about two years. (And yes, I know Fluxblog isn't orthodox "poptimist," but who cares.)

In case you missed it, League of Pop radio is playable here. I haven't decided if I'll do Pop Open radio as well.

"sorry not enough content to play this station" :-( when i try that. must TAG MOAR

Hm... Quite a bit is tagged (by me anyway), but last.fm has weird rules about listening to radio. It may work better if you're logged out (b/c you are a user not a paying subscriber).

But yes, people may want to tag more. My philosophy for "poptimism" has been to try to tag things that everyone likes, plus a handful of canon-winners, i.e., stuff that we would (mostly) all like and not stuff people "should" listen to, etc. (Tagging is one of those aspects of last.fm where people can get nasty: "Radiohead is NOT indie!!11!" etc.)
