How eclectic is you rmusic style?

Mai 14 2007, 22h35 por cmgomes

Take your top 20 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 5 similar artists. The resulting number of unique artists is your eclectic score. If the score is small (extreme = 5) your musical preferences are very limited, and if it is large (larger than 80, extreme = 100), then you have an eclectic musical preference. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/eclectic.php

My eclectic score is currently

52/100

The Story of Luaka Bop

From David Byrne

David Byrne’s site has a radio which playlist changes monthly:

August - 2006 - Hey David, What's Happening With Your Label?
The Story of Luaka Bop

I get asked fairly often, "What's your record label up to?" I don't know quite how to answer, as I don't have much to do with Luaka Bop these days. A few years ago the label was distributed by Virgin, and, as had happened previously with Warner Bros., Virgin merged with or was absorbed by a larger company — in this case EMI — and there were firings and re-shufflings and our little label was once again out in the cold. Towards the end of the Virgin era I was putting in half days every day at the label — the office was in my house — for no money, and mostly it was a little like pushing a large rock up an ever-growing hill. Artists complained and asked what was going on and I felt bad and didn't have answers. I made shit up. I felt crappy. Read the rest here

Musicians of Choice

Jul 7 2006, 10h17 por Nybo

Here is my version of something that other members have done before me. I have picked 64 individual musicians or bands from the higher end of my charts. All of them streamable.

Then I have arranged them in 32 pairs, some of which are more logical than others. And now I have come to a phase where I need help. In each pair one name should be chosen by my readers.

Have a look at the list. Perhaps you find some pairs that interest you and where you feel able to choose a musician that you prefer over the other one. In this case you may write a comment where you vote for that musician.

I suppose that this process will take some time, but I hope that eventually 32 names will be chosen for the next round. For a start I will give it two weeks, untill I log in on the morning of 22 July. If there still are pairs where no musician has been chosen, I suppose I will need to give it more time.

One principle for these pairs is that names from the top of the chart should not "compete" at once. Another is that the musicians in a pair preferably should have at least something in common.

Listen, enjoy, vote.
