John Lee Hooker Youtubery

| 3 Comments

The best use I've found for LastFM (other than in a general stat-head way) is somebody's clever mashup, using Yahoo's pipe tool, of LastFM and Youtube. The page searches for youtube videos based on recently played tracks. Lots of false hits, and plenty of unwanted results, but some gems too.

If you like JLH and you haven't listened to Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 74, you haven't lived. If you love the blues (the way I do), it's worth the price of a sat radio and the subscription.

JLH is one of my all-time faves, I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live a couple times. Great presence on the stage.

I also love the blues, and have been collecting it for a long, long time, but I do not listen to the radio. Just don't spend much time on the road, and isn't it hard to get a Satellite radio to work in your house?

Don't know, it came in the new Ford and I listen to it on my commute (30 miles in NYC traffic).
