I find the audio-visual experience (tilted elements, slightly blurry or shaky, semi-kinetic and burpy cronchy weird noises) of this website jarring as the act of over-consumption itself. Nicely done.
Maybe these are incompatible desires, but I would really like some kind of system that allows me to own and present my own music listening data while also allowing me to interoperate with a broader music listening culture.
Newsletters and blogs are great for discovery, but I also really value the way my last.fm has allowed me to recall a band I used to listen to a decade ago because I can remember a few of their contemporaries that are neighbours in the Similar Artists graph.

Being part of MusicBrainz, they also have metadata for most tracks or you can amend it yourself.
