    Decided to give it a bit of work to do.... Typed in Rammstein.

    After a Rammstein song it came up with Virgo's Tale by Zug Izland (Who the
    ****?), Leave Me For Dead by Rosetta Stone, then surprisingly, Clubfoot by
    Kasabian. I think it ran out of ideas at this point, because it went back to
    another Rammstein song.

    After that welcome interlude, it went off on it's own merry way again, with
    tracks by people I have never heard of and desperately hope never to hear of
    again....................

    A very interesting concept, all in all.

  3. In uk.rec.motorcycles, Simian amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:
    I've got the video :)

    Send us a snaily and I'll bung it on a VCD for you.

    Oh, and it utterly *ROCKS*!

  5. Err not sure why you picked me per se. There are loads of others here
    with far better musical knowledge than I.

    I fiddled about with it for a while but was not terribly impressed if
    I'm completely honest.

    I rather like this which is similar in terms of the base concept [1]
    except that it does not create a radio station / play tracks for you. I
    cannot claim any credit for discovering this as I think Mr Blaney posted
    about it a long time ago and it's been on BBC's Click Online programme.
    It now does films / directors so the ukrm movieisti will be happy for
    hours.

    You're the one I know with a bazillion albums, though and I'd have
    thought that you'd be able to give it a damned good workout, so to
    speak.

    My first go I searched based on "Beck" and was quite pleased with the
    hits it came back with; I'll be checking out several of them which is
    kind of the point, surely?
    Hmm.. will check it out.

    I searched on Joy Division and wasn't happy.

    Nothing, if you need it, but ...

    an hour on four bars of a solo ?

    If that's what it takes to get it right. Depends on the solo, and depends
    also on whether the aim was to be able to churn out a passable facsimile of
    the original, or learn a whole lot of other stuff besides, using the solo as
    an exercise. And the more you do something, the better you get. My
    daughter has been doing piano for nine years, and I've been having singing
    lessons for a couple of months - guess who sounds better...

    I played with this thouhght it rather good. Worth a few quid a month I
    thought. Started the sign-up process and it wanted a credit card. A
    quick check showed that they were showing a verisign logo but, and
    here's the question, how can I tell if it is actually secure?

    The verisign logo wasn't clickable, the URL wasn't an https:// and the
    piece of code handling the signup was made with flash. Presumably the
    flash code is interactibg with a database on a server somewhere but the
    casual user has no way of determining whether there is any encryption
    going on..?
