Sync Last.fm tracks to your Slack status

🎶 Update your Slack status with your currently playing Last.fm track

I liked a version of this that used Spotify but wanted a version that uses Last.fm.

Last.fm in theory works with any music source not just Spotify but still has good integrations with Spotify.

The Last.fm API is a lot easier to use than Spotify too as you just need a API key and don't need to worry about OAuth.
