Only thing that I would want though would be some possible graphics for the video itself just to make sure that it is not just a bland video.
I can add music scores other bits and bobs without a problem.
Just PM if you want me to have a play.
I'm hearing Helmet's "Meantime" for the soundtrack for some reason

I'm not even going to imagine lol
I think you would need a classy score for the skin or something mellow
Possibly Nat king cole - What a wonderful world
Or maybe something from a music score such as Harry Potter as it resembles a spell book.
Sticky with classy music for a classy skin.

What exactly are you planning with the last.fm integration into the skin? Is it possible to download music directly from last.fm?

Integration of scrobbling data, live streams. AFAIK its not possible to download music from last.fm.

You and are are completely at opposite sides of the world on that. I'm thinking more like Pantera's Walk or F*cking Hostile.
Watch the movie Fight Club and you will see the aesthetic. Not sure classy is involved at all.

Mark my words the skin is a work of art, and not a shout fest even though I have not heard the songs you are talking about but I can imagine they are reasonably heavy.
It would be interesting to see the video how you want it with the music that you want, but I bet that the music would stick out like a sore thumb.
It would be like putting star wars fight scene with run dmc walk this way or something like that.
The skin is not edgy enough to have a wild soundtrack.
In my point of view anyway

Odd.... I consider this an extremely edgy skin. With it's complete lack of sharp crisp lines and grunge textures throughout.

<OT> Run D.M.C. and Walk this Way should never be mentioned in the same sentence. That was the beginning of Aerosmith's sellout. That being said, even as a huge fan of Pantera , I don't see it here. Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath --- a little hard, a little eclectic, maybe...</OT>

Yeah, I don't know about Tull... but I could see using some Motorhead. Ace of Spades comes immediately to mind.

Screw it - can't go wrong with some old Sabbath.
