Journal by MonTemplar

Found this site via DeviantArt (hi Leons!) of all places.

Visit http://www.musicplasma.com/, enter your favourite artist or group, and get a map of all the artists and/or groups that are related or similar to your choice. Select an artist, and get some clips of their music (sorry, looks to be Windows Media on that front). Bit sluggish, but tres cool!

This discussion was created by MonTemplar (174120) for Friends and Friends of Friends only, but now has been archived. No new comments can be posted.

      • Yeah, I played in the group for a little while (not quite a year). It got me some find tail in my day. The sad thing was it become more like a band in name only and the original "stars" would come back when we got a recording deal. Pissed me off that I was busting my butt on tour as the "backup" or "standin" for Blah-blah and then we get a deal and they get to come out from "retirement" or $Other_band and get on the cover shot.

        Manger: "But his name/face is what sells records when people look at it, your
  • That's probably the best implementation of a music map I've seen, but I found it useful to keep AllMusicGuide [allmusic.com] open in a separate tab so that I could look up details about artists properly.:)
  • that thing is cool. not 100% complete, but pretty nifty. thanks for the link.
  • It doesn't have Lawnmower Deth. Oh well.
