Ok I promise that this is going to be the last “Top List” post that I do for updates from last year, but as a lot of you who read Blazing Minds also know me for my love of music, I thought I would do a musical based “Top List” post using my personally scrobbles via Last.fm so this is my Top Artists, Albums And Track Scrobbles list.

Ever since I got my iPod Classic a couple of years ago, my music collection has been growing and though it’s not as big as some peoples music lists, so far I have around 6,320 tracks on my iPod, it is great for me and I get  to add some amazinging unsigned artists to it quite frequently and have even had the honour of working with a few on my Remergence project.

So as you can expect I do have a tendency to play a lot of music on my iPod and when it is plugged in to iTunes it syncs up with last.fm and records what I have been listening to, though sometimes last.fm has a bit of a fit and doesn’t “scrobble” the tracks, but besides from that it’s all automatically done for me

Those of you that follow my Twitter (@RemBeatZ) will have seen lately that I’ve played some mixes by GreenDragon aka Martin, now for anyone who loves amazing talent then you have got to check out the mixes that he’s done over at Last.fm, I’m trying to catch up with all of them at the moment and have downloaded a stack already.

This is probably a question that a lot of people are asking these days, what with the recession going on and lack of money in our pockets.

So how do you get your hands on music from the internet that is legal to download?

A great way to artist that you enjoy is to be a member of Last.FM, on the home page when you are logged in you’ll see down towards the bottom of the page a “Free Downloads” section, this will have a selection of free legal music downloads that your favourite artists have available for your to download, now I’m not saying you’ll get free tracks from top artists all the time, but you’ll certainly get a good collection of tracks to download….

Another fantastic place for free music, if your quick, is Amie Street, I personally use Amie Street a lot myself and you can get new releases from some of the top artists, but with the big names you have to be quick, as an example: I downloaded the new Crystal Method album Divided by Night for the crazy cost of around $2 yes that right, but within minutes the price had shot up.

But Amie Street is also great for discovering new artists and their releases are also free, the system works in a way that all releases are free until they get popular and then the price goes up gradually, so been first in is ideal, I would highly recommend Amie Street.

There are of course other sites out there that are similar, but these are the main two that I use to get my hands on some excellent music for free and for a fraction of the cost of other retailers.
