Last.fm sounds like the canonical example of a site that where it makes absolutely no difference if your password gets exposed.

Worst case, some malicious individual on the internet will learn that I still like the Beastie Boys, even though it's not 1994 anymore. And possibly they'll listen to music in my name.

This is why one has a throwaway password. For throwaway accounts at throwaway sites like this. Getting your throwaway password thrown away should by definition not be something you worry about.
