Lastgraph takes your username at Last.fm and generates a beautiful chart of your musical listening habits. [via]

Makes me want to listen to more music (or at least fire up the Last.fm client more often)!

Whoops. Missed that thread somehow (and I love this stuff).

(I think, though, that is new, isn't it, in that this site allows you to make your own Last.fm visualizations?)

Can't wait to see mine.

I did mine a while back. It really doesn't turn out well when you have a varied and sporadic listening habits.

Oh no. I have waited for 50 minutes and now it says "Error: Last.fm temporarily unavailable. Will retry in 5 minutes."

It's quite slow but worth the wait: the graphs are really purdy.

This went around a while back (with user-specific graphs). It really wasn't posted here?

My place in the queue keeps yoyoing, wtf?

Mine too - been in the 70s in the queue for well over an hour. Popular little app...

My fault, probably, sorry. When I popped mine in the queue before I posted it here, it was #1 off the get-go, and rendered in about a minute.

Now I'm just getting a 503 - Bad Gateway error. *Glares at stavros*

Man, what the fuck do I have to do? It keeps telling me to enter a valid date. I've tried both Euro and American ordering.

Well suck it haters, because I'm down to #56 in the queue after only 2 hours and 45 minutes. Anyone that comes along and closes this window will be very sorry.

dangit you guys!! it used to work fine... metadotted. last.fm has had some problems over the last week so that may be adding to the fun.

I'm at position 40 but I have to leave work in 3 hours. I don't think I'm going to make it.

S'purdy once it gets done - sorry about the glare, stavros. Unfortunately, I only graphed from a year ago rather than my sign-up date, so now I'm at #220.

Man, what the fuck do I have to do? It keeps telling me to enter a valid date. I've tried both Euro and American ordering. There's calendar links next to the input boxes, but for some reason the format is YYYY/MM/DD.

stavros broke it! The Perils Of Success. LastGraph will be down for a few days while I sort out somewhere better for it to run. It's been using this servers' resources massively, and there's about 35GB of data now (over a gig of which is raw XML). I'll be relaunching with the new rewritten version, and automatic expiry of graph storage, to hopefully keep things more sane. If I can afford it, I may move to using something like Amazon S3 for storage, to avoid these issues.

And I thought I waited a long time when the queue was 20 something.

I listen to metal. I want my graph to be black, with blood red graph lines. Bonus points if they work in a skull somehow.
