It looks like http://last.fm has an XML/RSS feed that I can use (along with some HTML they provide that links to a .gif image with a list of recently played tracks. Doesn't update too fast though it looks like...) to show the most recent tracks...perhaps i could use XML::Twig for this...

The XML is a LOT simpler for this site: 

<recenttracks user="dhoss">
&#8722;
    <track>
<artist mbid="777a21a8-0d0f-4cf3-86b4-65bc0eba5649">Staind</artist>
<name>Everything Changes</name>
<mbid/>
&#8722;
    <url>
http://www.last.fm/music/Staind/_/Everything+Changes
</url>
<date uts="1163436933">13 Nov 2006, 16:55</date>
</track>
&#8722;
    <track>
<artist mbid="">The Smashing Pumpkins</artist>

Or, I could even parse the even simpler CSV file: 

1163436933,Staind – Everything Changes
1163436668,The Smashing Pumpkins – 1979
1163436360,Yellowcard – Gifts and Curses
1163435904,Rascal Flatts – What Hurts The Most

meh.
