I wasn't satisfied with how my first version turned out. It seemed to lack the flare and the creativity that I had envisioned in my head, so for the last 4 days I tried to push out a radically new way of rendering the wallpaper. And I think I have achieved most of it!

Here's a wallpaper generated from my overall top 32 artists:

You can try my webapp here:

Select the mode with the bubbles and it'll churn out a wallpaper like mine!

Everything in the wallpaper is procedurally generated with javascript, so no external images are used except the band pictures themselves.

there should be a way where you don't have to input your username, just mix and match whatever artists you want =[

That's really cool!

I'd be all over this if I hadn't deleted my last.fm.

Hmm that seems like a good idea. Do you mean just select xx random artists, or do you mean the user enters xx artists, and it draws it?

Planning to do those. Stuff like that is always annoying to do mostly because you have to put it in an intuitive design, or people won't notice them.
