Musicovery: art meets science in music browsing
Yes, you’ve heard about Pandora, Last.fm, and all the other music-discovery sites. Musicovery won’t replace any of these, but it does offer a compelling way of browsing music — by mood, by genre, or (and this is where it gets interesting) any combination of the two.
It’s especially helpful if you, too, think the genre of “Soundtracks” can be overly misleading, or often find yourself scratching your head wondering why your bands were put in that! category in the record shop.
Give it a shot. Personally I’m looking forward to starting my week with something guaranteed to be energetic and positive, be it world, soul, funk, blues, gospel or otherwise. Those of you scheduled for a morning meeting with me, apologies in advance for an obvious overdose of plus-vibes.

very interesting.
Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, I had seen it, thought it was nifty. It’s amazing how a little editing can make or break one’s perception of talent. You don’t need to be good at music, just good at iMovie.
