Gotta love Digg man. I received a shout from a "mutual friend" on Digg and it was about not just hating war, but also loving peace. So I clicked and ended up on his website/blog called "Slices of Life." I was perusing and came across such an amazing mashup tool, I just can't even believe I've not heard of it until now.So many thanks to "Slices of Life" for the tip.
The tool is "Musicovery" and what you do is pick your mood, pick your favorite genres and *poof* this brightly colored web of wonderfulness expands onto your screen with results based on your entries. I think you could compare it to Pandora, but really they are quite different because Pandora offers more of a variety of artists I think. But Musicovery allows more customization.
It looks like this is pretty much mainstream music, but the idea is great. I haven't registered yet, I'm just listening and learning as a guest. It's free and it lets you plot your mood on a spectrum and then creates a chart of songs to fit your mood. You can further narrow your results by genre, year and there is a little plus/minus icon you can choose if you don't like the song but that feature is activated only for registered users.
