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.

 

Thin. Ice.

 

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*!

 

I think I've got it on video somewhere... I'll have a look.

 

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.

[1] musical / artistic relationships.

 

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..?
