last.fm is an internet radio station and music recommendation system that merged with sister site Audioscrobbler in August 2005. The system builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste, also recommending artists similar to their favorites, showing their favorite artists and songs on a customizable profile webpage, comprising the songs played on its stations selected via a collaborative filter, or optionally, recorded by a Last.fm plugin installed into its users' music playing application. To build this page, I hacked the last.fm jquery album code originally developed by jeroen smeets.
We create new concepts and turn around problem brands. It's what we do.

About this site
This site was built in one day using Squarespace, the best web-publishing platform available today. It was made on a Mac, designed using Adobe Fireworks and fueled by Monster Energy, Tullly's Kona Blend, Timothy's Fair Trade Colombian Dorado Coffees with help from the Keurig brewing system. High-quality 'real' fonts are made available by Typekit, and the progressively-enhanced CSS3-3D was inspired by Mark Dotto and was featured on WORKERSoftheWEB.
This site was meant to be viewed in a modern browser, like Safari, Firefox or Chrome. Did you know those browsers are free? If you're using IE, then you're missing-out on the way this site was intended to be viewed, but more than that— most of the internet's greatest sites don't perform well using Internet Explorer. Of-course, you could be viewing this site in a corporate office, where you're forced to use IE. I remember those days, and I really do feel for you. If this is the case, you need to do what I did— make friends with your IT Department, specifically the people who have admin rights to install software. Bribe them with food. Everyone in IT loves cookies, cakes, donuts, beer, pie and bacon. If they don't, then don't trust them.
Never trust anyone who says they don't like bacon.
