I love it - you tell it what song or artist you like, and it creates a radio station of songs that are similar. The scientific analysis behind different music is impressive. For example, I enjoy Elliott Smith because it features "Electric rock instrumentation, mild rhythmic syncopation, demanding instrumental part writing, minor key tonality and electric rhythm guitars."


For the best music of 2007. Just go read what Speckled Mind says. He knows music better than anyone I know. Seriously - where do you find the time to find all the good music?
