I wonder where the spikes come from. Variability in your free time, or new album releases?

That is a pretty cool graph.

Fred: It is pretty amazing to see not just the consumption of media, but how it shapes your day to day life. I agree with the other commenter - that it will be interesting when you can look at more aspects of your life this way. Scary, too.

Very interesting visualization of your music consumption. What we need now is the ability to view this across all media types: videos, music, websites, movies, etc…

Of course leave the porn sites out.

The credit goes to this service called LastGraph...

I just ran their tool for your user name. It's an excellent visualization tool for Last.fm. I hope they make a Flash version that you can explore online in addition to the PDF option.

very cool. know what I always thought would be interesting? some service, whether implicitly or not - most likely a combination of the two, that displayed the progression of your music interests as certain flavours advanced and influenced a deeper interest into a genre.

a band that I like now - let's say of Montreal - has a sound that I wouldn't have liked 2 years ago, but walking down a path of less-severe, yet similar sounding, bands led me to love their distinct flavour. It would be a cool to have a map of those progressions. Maybe a mash-up of last.fm's data synthesized against pandora's analysis of the sound of a band, outputted into a mind-map type display.

Wow - that is cool! Is that from last.fm listens or just from tracking what you've been talking about?
