MOG MOG

BECAUSE THE WEB MOSTLY SUCKS

Album: Drive
Track:

There are a bunch of sites out there, like this one, that help you discover new music. I really like the social networking aspect of MOG. The MOG brain is really a collection of human brains, which are still (and hopefully always will be) the most efficient way for us to connect with each other. MOG makes it more fluid and simple to find real people with similar quirky musical tastes and rapidly generate some new great musical finds.


Another one I like tries to be more objective and relies more on pseudo-artificial intelligence is Pandora. That one allows uses some kind of fine-grained survey of each song in order to categorize it musically in a large number of ways, then try to guess what else someone might like when the say they like a certain group or a certain song.


As a musician, it's been instructive for me to get my music on Pandora, and create a radio station based on the band. That way you can see what their combination of subjective categorizer / objective computer program comes up with that's somehow similar. You can also look at each song and see why it was chosen for your station, which is interesting feedback on your own music.


Why not try to combine them a bit? I've posted a list of other songs played by Objects in the Mirror radio at Pandora. Maybe that will give you an instant snapshot of what we sound like. I'd love to see what turns up for some of the other bands using MOG.
