Last.fm Top Tracks

Posted on Mar 20, 2011 in Programming

I wrote a script that simply just returned the Top X songs for an artist using Last.fm’s information.

Steps:
1) Download pylast:
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pylast/pylast-0.5.11.tar.gz#md5=506cf1b13020b3ed2f3c845ea0c9830e

2) Unzip it
3) Open a terminal and ‘cd’ to that directory.
3) Run the command: ./setup.py build
3) Run the command: ./setup.py install
4) Download and run my code from terminal

Download: lastfm.py

Usage: ./lastfm.py -a <Search Term> [-l <#>] [-s] -a Search Artist in quotations. -l Return limit. Default = 10. -s Similar Artists.

Example:
./lastfm.py -a “Cold War Kids”

To make it easier to run the script from anywhere, you can add the directory to your PATH.

1) From terminal ‘vi ~/.cshrc’
2) Add “PATH=$PATH\:/Users/userName/

directory_of_file”
3) Hit “Esc” then “:” followed by “wq” then “return”
4) type “source ~./cshrc”Now you can run the command anywhere within a terminal

Example: lastfm.py -a "Coconut Records" -s

Big T Bag’s Monthly Mix – Jan 2011

Posted on Feb 1, 2011 in 2011, Monthly_Mix, Music

Well to a new year and new opportunities. Enjoy this month’s mix. I did include an older Chromeo song that I completely forgot about until now. It feats the singer from Vampire Weekend so that could be hit or miss depending on your taste. I have a feeling you’re going to like the Lykke Li remix the best, I do!
