Another essential tool for all Soundscapees (in addition to being the origin of yet another piece of hipster vernacular verbage: ‘to obscuromeasure oneself’).
From The Obscurometer:
“The Obscurometer taps into the last.fm api and uses that data to figure out how obscure the artists you listen to are, and how obscure your musical taste in general is. Primarily, The Obscurometer uses the number of listeners an artist has to determine how obscure the artist is. To figure out how obscure the music of a user is, The Obscurometer averages the obscurity of the user’s 50 most played artists. Of course, behind the scenes it’s a little more complicated than that.”
Sigh.
