This is a simple aside for Octopress that uses Last.fm API to pull your most recently listened tracks from your account.
It was greatly inspired by Octopress Flickr Aside that inserts Flickr photos in the sidebar.
First of all you need to copy lastfm.html into your octopress installation in the directory source/_includes/custom/asides. Then you need to update the _config.yml file:
- add 'custom/asides/lastfm.html' to default_asides
- add lastfm settings at the end of the file:
#Last.fm
lastfm_apikey: <your lastfm api_key>
lastfm_user: <your lastfm username>
lastfm_count: <# of tracks to be displayed/retrieved>
