I use MusicBee a lot these days to play music. There's an option to display some data about the currently playing artist+track (artist picture, name, biography and the amount of my plays). I tried using the Last.fm
artist.getinfo-method to get an XML-view of the data but that didn't really work for me. It lacked readability and some of the info that I wanted like how many times someone else had listened to this artist and some other little tweaks.
