This July we’ve been reading articles about ice cream trucks, a review of Pitchfork reviews, and using some juicy free online audio tools and listening analysis services!
Useful services
Some free online services now…
This one is for users of Last.fm and Spotify. It provides different visualisations of your listening history. I quite like how it’s niched and focused enough to concentrate only on analysing your listening history. There’s an app for Apple devices, but there’s also a Web version:

Ice cream trucks. Yes, ice cream trucks
