A month has passed since my last entry. Still working on the similar artists formula, but the program I'm running to test the formula has slowed down, so I'm gonna make some changes to the code and re-look at the formula. That will be discussed later. But let me discuss what is on my mind.

SUPER BOWL DEJA VU
Yeah, last week, was the Super Bowl...and another halftime guest that basically combined the flaws from the last 2 Super Bowls together (outdated The Who and the top 40-friendly Black Eyed Peas). It was Madonna, but to be honest, it wasn't really a disaster like last year. Not bad, but we need to start getting Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Muse and other 90s-2000s rock bands now.

But the main think I want to vent about were...the commercials. Usually the best part of the Super Bowl...this year, they all came out flat. Sad TBH. The beer commercials are usually the funniest ads...none of them were funny. And some ad campaigns just need to stop...godaddy, Etrade, you get the point.

Today, I present the best bands in their musical genres in my opinion.

Ich will hier mal einen kleinen Rückblick auf das Jahr 2011 niederschreiben und die Musik die es für mich dort gab. Die Scheiben die ich mir in diesem Jahr gekauft habe. Ich will die Scheiben auch bewerten. 0-5 Sterne. Mal sehen was es da so gab.

1. Adoro Liebe meines Lebens
Eigentlich ist es nicht mein Stil. Aber immerhin sind die 5 Tenöre gut und laden zum träumen ein. Diese Scheibe ist allerdings leider nur eine weitere CD mit Covers die auf Klassik getrimmt wurden. Sicherlich mal interessant. Aber nicht der Knaller.
2 Sterne **

2. Anton and the Headcleaners Rotor
Instrumentalrock der anspruchsvollen Art. Die Band konnte am letztenjährigen Freakfestival überzeugen. Tolle Performance. Ungezügelt donnern die Gitarren los. Die CD kann die Live-Athmosphäre nicht ganz wiedergeben. Im Großen und Ganzen nicht schlecht.
3 Sterne ***

3. The Bevis Frond The Leaving of London
Bevis Frond hat sich wieder mal gemeldet. Üblicherweise psychedelic. Diesmal leider weniger. Nick Salamon scheinen ein wenig die Ideen auszugehen. …

hard rock, hair metal, heavy metal, thrash metal

Decidi começar a escrever aqui.Talvez eu fale sobre tudo,sobretudo falarei sobre música.
Além de ser meu assunto preferido desde sempre, é tambem o objetivo dessa rede social. Então...
Há algumas horas atrás eu decidi começar uma lista de bandas que já vi ao vivo,mas abortei a missão após alguns minutos.Frequento (e quando digo frequento,quero dizer que há realmente uma frequência) shows desde meus 12/13 anos,são tantos shows nacionais e internacionais que alguns eu não queria ter visto.Quem me conhece sabe que ter assistido o Avenged Sevenfold foi uma experiência traumática para mim.Eu estava esperando pelo Queens of the Stone Age poxa vida,eu não deveria ter que ser torturada só porque depois viria uma bela recompensa.
Agora vou deixar uma pausa para quem quiser parar de ler e/ou me xingar mentalmente pelo que acabei de dizer sobre a banda que vocês tanto gostam.Tudo bem,eu não ligo...

Pronto?
Por outro lado,tem vários shows que eu tenho vergonha de dizer que perdi.Por exemplo,eu nunca vi um show do Motörhead. …

Last Saturday, I discussed the issues with the current similar artist formula...especially Metallica being top 10 in similarity with The Offspring (like what?).

Well, since then, I put my programming skills to work and well, I built a little program to test to see it would work with other artists. Results were noticed on several bands/artists as their similar artists over went a make over. However, it did lead to new problems as I tried testing it out super-mainstream acts including our favorite band...Radiohead.


Rage Against the Machine showed up as a similar artist.


...well, apparently. Radiohead's top 250 similar artists currently are all over the place in random genres. A bigger batch of similar artists would be needed to get the best results, but the question is...is my new formula better. I'm going to show you some examples of artists top 25 similar artists...before, and after. You guys make the decision.


Oh, you don't remember the formula? Very well...time for a quick summary
