Music-Map

this is really cool. simply type in the name of a band or performer, and the music-map will generate a navigable list of other bands and performers you may be into. i typed in flaming lips, and the resulting map was like looking at my itunes library. it's good to see this type of search and retrieve algorithm being applied to music in an easily accessible manner.

i think the algorithm is based on who buys (or downloads) what, which has a lot to do with what 'music wankers' tell us to listen to. so don't worry, you've still got job security.

I dunno... a random search for Carcass returned The Mamas and the Papas... I didn't know they were into grindcore... perhaps that was a B-side to California Dreaming...
