tags: archive, Last.fm

<p>Once upon a time, there lived a music recommendation blog called <cite>the Friday Fetch-it</cite>. It lived in the magical land of Last.fm, where it spent its days frolicking with its friends surrounded by pink social-musicky goodness.</p>
<p>But then, after a few months of <em>pink!</em> <em>pink!</em> <em>other stuff!</em> <em>things that aren't the blog!</em>, the Friday Fetch-it found itself increasingly confined by all the other pink stuff flying about around it, and it decided to move out of its parents' house and get a job.</p>
<p>No job later, the Friday Fetch-it finds itself uprooted from its familiar, old, pink <i>(did I mention that Last.fm is pink?)</i> pot and planted in a new, bigger, less-pink pot... like a plant being replanted... by a gardener who represents a poor metaphor.</p>
<p>Anyhow: so as not to forget its old life in Pinksville, the Friday Fetch-it made a list on itself <i>(because it's a blog, remember (this anthropomorphised-blog business gets confusing sometimes))</i> of all the old posts. And in time-honoured story-referencing-itself and effect-preceding-cause fashion, this is that very list:</p>
<p>(This bit's the montage of quick shots of the characters emoting and/or in action-packed situations, overlaid with snippets of dialogue, that goes some way to explaining what happened last week when you forgot to set the video:)</p>
