Out of all those Noise and Hardcore bands that were signed to Touch And Go, I think Scratch Acid is my favorite.

[SoulDischarge]

They are noise rock royalty, for sure. "Cannibal" may be a top 10 song for me.

[FEELS]

Agreed. Both that song and Mary Had A Little Drug Problem are fucking soo great.

[FEELS]

Also, I was reading the first page of this thread... And a lot of people were talking shit on how this wouldn't work. Funny because it's probably my favorite thread on the board. Lots of random tidbits/discussions concerning great stuff.

Six Degrees of Black Sabbath

I have run it plenty of times but never gone through Black Sabbath.


Also I didn't know about Last.fm's Playground. Some of it is VIP (?) only but there are some cool tools such as the Scrobbling Timeline and Gender Plot.

What's the largest amount of steps you've had between artists? My first one was from Fats Domino to At the Gates: 11 steps.

[bmack86]

12 steps from Burzum to Chubby Checker, and one of those steps is Fat Boys.

[mountmccabe]

Bright Eyes to the Prayer Chain in 19 steps!



Based on listening from the last 3 months:

[mountmccabe]

Nashville Pussy to the Prayer Chain is 29 steps. That's near the most they've seen of 35!

I keep seeing Steve McDonald from Redd Kross.

Also I tend to get rid of the connections that are "____ dated _____" because that seems like cheating.

[mountmccabe]

Also the videos are often hilarious unrelated.

[getbetter]

I got 16 steps with Human Sexual Response to Godspeed You! Black Emperor

[SoulDischarge]

They don't recognize Skrewdriver. Thing's broken.

[SoulDischarge]

Or, actually surprisingly, Public Enemy.

[mountmccabe]

It has Public Enemy for me! It takes 19 steps to get from them to CHVRCHES.

[heart cooks brain]

Also the videos are often hilarious unrelated.

I really like 'Mess', because it's about a hoarder (I think) and I've written a song about a hoarder.

[santasutt]

Bananarama to Gordon Lightfoot in 15 steps.

[djbionik]

that site is way too addicting. THanks.

[FEELS]

First thing I did was Minutemen to Prince. 14 steps

[getbetter]

I really enjoyed listening to The Clits' "Excuse me" EP and it's nothing mind blowing but it has a strong base line.They are on spotify if you want to give it a listen.

I GOT MY EYES ON YOU

[Ardentbiscuit]

I went to trivia at a bar and they had a category called, EDM artist or CAPTCHA code...

Leonard Cohen’s first public musical performance

I'm just started this but thought it was worth sharing.

edit: I think it may just be a spoken word/reading poetry out aloud

Oh this made me chuckle. That's funny.

[FEELS]

Tonight I've been listening to Belle & Sebastian for the first time in forever.... I forgot how good they are at making the perfect pop song.

hold steady to the knife in 22 steps

[djbionik]

Just got gifted an old 300 cd player today, and a couple weeks ago I was gifted a sound system. SO MUCH HAPPY.

[getbetter]

I wish I was in a band and we did abstract noise cover of "Hey Hey We're The Monkees".

[TomAz]

To do this, I looked at the music listening behavior of a quarter million online music listeners from a wide range of music services powered by music intelligence company The Echo Nest (my employer). First, I created a chart of the top artists in the entire country, and another of the top artists in each state. Then, I went through the chart for each state to find artists that have the biggest bump in their rank on the state chart, when compared to the national chart. These are the most "distinctive" artists for that state -- the ones that people there like way more than people in other states do.

[TomAz]

LOL @ Kentucky.
