MuzkMesh.com - LastFM & LyricWiki Mashup

Mashups come in all sizes and colors. This one caught my fancy recently, if only because it combines three different services that have blended pretty well together. They are LastFM, LyricWiki and GoogleMaps.

By glancing at that list you can more or less guess what it does, and chances are you will guess right. You just supply a LastFM username to be provided with a list of the 10 last songs that were played by that person. Upon clicking on each one of the provided song titles the lyrics will be displayed for you to enjoy them, whereas a short band information is likewise provided. Note that Flickr is also part of the mashup, as you can see recent pictures with ease on the right-hand corner of the screen. For its part, GoogleMaps are employed to list forthcoming events.

This mashup offers you a sort of window into any person’s musical tastes. It is a good way to while away some idle hours, and all the information that is provided guarantees you will learn everything about any artist that crops up and whose name you didn’t even know to begin with.

“LastFM & LyricWiki Mashup.”

Music fans will find it a good channel for the discovery of new bands, I guess.

How could the interface become more appealing?
