Is now open thanks to Riosan.

Also a quick and watered-down explanation as to what Last.fm is for those who do not know.
Last.fm is a vast network that accumulates information on what it's members listen to through what they scrobble (to be explained later).
It is also an excellent source for information about a band/group/artist. Often there will even be samples of artists' songs available to listen to in order to help you decide if you like them, as well as a biography on the group, comments and reviews of listeners. Also, because of scrobbling, you can see how popular a band is within the Last.fm community. The entire site is completely free, and you don't even need to download the scrobbling software to use it.
Now for scrobbling. Scrobbling is sending information from your media player to Last.fm to broadcast what you are currently listening to. This information is then used to generate statistics as to what you listen to the most, as well as a few other statistics. It also will allow you to see how compatible your tastes are in comaprison to others using Last.fm. In order to use the software, all you need to do is download it from the site (http://www.last.fm/download/). Instillation is simple, just follow the step by step instructions. It will install the necessary plugins for most media players, but if you aren't sure, check out if your media player is compatible with scrobbling on the site you got it from.
Last.fm is also where you can get the lists that appear in my signature (as well as several other users here) that show what you've recently listened to. They can be used in variety of places and are not solely limited to recently scrobbled tracks. You can also list top tracks, artists, albums and more.
I think that covers it all in a nutshell.

Sure, but what exactly do you mean by "group"?

A group. On Last.fm.
I guess I'd join.

Someone would create a "group" which takes the scrobbles of all the group members and creates statistics for the group. However it needs at least 10 member to start creating charts IIRC.
Oh. I would, but my music preferences are a bit odd, so I'll just let the normal users do, methinks. :D

All my music stems from Pokemon shows, video games, or 1900's chamber music. Nothing common really. The only exception is Fall Out Boy, and that's a bit meh.

I wouldn't mind a group on last.fm, then. My music choices aren't too typical either. :P

Ill join, but what exactly this for, and what is the purpose of it, beside it being a radio type thing.

Not much beside a place to hear everyone else's radio tastes, and to track what bands the group listens to.
Join. ;3
I just approved 2 more members, tomorrow, it should start recording the group's music tracks.

That's good, if everyone listened to the same music, it would be boring.

ZZ Top
Queens of The Stone Age
Van Halen

I joined, and I'm pending. Ive DJ'd maybe 4 or 5 times here before so it's cool. Mainly Hard rock/metal/alternative.

Accepted. By the way, no one specifically Dj's on the group radio, Last.fm just picks out songs we've listened to before and broadcasts the songs for everyone to hear.
I'd join, but I never did register on Last.fm nor do I have any intention to :O
