I have done a very large amount of tagging of other independent artists over the past year as I am checking out artists at their Last.fm pages, listening to site radio and also from the Last.fm software as I am listening to downloaded tracks on my media player.
The informal culture of doing this that already exists among independent artists at Last.fm is great and is to be further encouraged in any way possible as it is very helpful in expanding the listener base of our music :-)
There's many groups on last.fm where you have to tag other artists and damn, it surely takes some time! But however, it's great to tag these bands. And if you mind, here's mine project Unutterable. Use tags like: Noise, ambient, surreal, hypnotic etc.
I would be happy when someone tag my first project Dark Drone (use tags like: dark ambient,ambient,electronic,atmospheric) and my second project Marcel Pequel (contemporary classical,classical,piano)
