Many people I have talked to complain that they can’t find someone who likes the same music as them. I personally think they don’t know how to look, but w/e. I get their issue. You don’t want to start making out with someone only to have them put on Oasis and ruin the mood. Tastebuds.fm claims they can solve your woes. So I put it to the Duckman test.
First I linked it to my Last.fm so they could ‘decide’ what music I like. Meaning they took my top 20 played bands and made them my favorite. Problem: maybe I don’t want a chick who listens to Big Bill Broonzy. So I make my edits and BAM. My list…
Then you can start searching for people in your “area” who signed up on Tastebuds. But there are still issues. I start seeing chicks who post things like this…
I thought I was avoiding these chicks? I thought I was going to get a soul mate. Instead I get a cell mate. We matched on Beach House, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Grizzly Bear, LCD Soundsystem, The Beatles, and The Strokes, but what’s the rest of this crap? The problem with tastebuds is that they are not judgmental assholes like their users are. Just because we both listen to LCD doesn’t mean I want to have Coldplay loving babies with this chick. This site might be good for Alt-Chicks to meet their At-Bros. But for music Nazis like me, I’m going to have to stick to the jukeboxes.
