Duke Listens!: Visit my main blog at MusicMachinery.com

The folks over at Last.fm have added an experimental event mapper that will show nearby events that you might be interested in on a google map. Since Last.fm knows what kind of music I like, they can map upcoming shows of artists that I've listened to on map. It's pretty neat - here's my map:

I really like this and I hope they extend this into the long tail. It'd be really neat if they could improve their event recommender to find the long tail artists that are playing in my neighborhood that I would like. It looks like their event recommender is only showing artists that I've already listened to (but I could be wrong). It'd be really helpful if their event recommender would point me to artists playing locally that I haven't heard, but might like.
