    }
]

That is the current JSON object I have.

I am now trying to iterate through it to get the import stuff like title and link.

This is where I am having trouble I cant seem to get to the content that is past the ":" i tried doing dictionary way couldn't get it.

def getLastSong(user,limit):
    base_url = 'http://gsuser.com/lastSong/'
    user_url = base_url + str(user) + '/' + str(limit) + "/"
    raw = urllib.urlopen(user_url)
    json_raw= raw.readlines()
    json_object = json.loads(json_raw[0])

    #filtering and making it look good.
    gsongs = []
    print json_object
    for song in json_object[0]:   
        print song

This code prints all the information before ":"

Please help. ignore the Justin Bieber track :)
