How soundtracks skew last.fm recommendations
Posted at 11:20am on Monday, April 10th, 2006First thoughts on using the Audioscrobbler web services…. Two artists that have popped up in my playlist today have skewed data which rather surprised me (one very skewed, one only slightly)…
Similar artists for The Who include Bowie, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Yes and Elton John. For a couple of moments I sort of stared blankly until I remembered the Almost Famous soundtrack, upon which they all appear….
Worse still for Isaac Hayes though. Clearly some people listen to The Who who don’t own the Almost Famous soundtrack. Apparently almost no-one listens to Isaac Hayes except for the owners of the Kill Bill Vol 1 soundtrack.
