Peter Gabriel releases iTunes plug-in

It sounds interesting, I'm going to have to play with it. You upload your library list, it analyzes it, then you say "I want songs like Popsicle of Love" and it makes a playlist for you that you can upload to your iPod. I don't know how good it is because it does this through the ID3 tags, still, it's worth a shot. The only problem is that the article writer has some pretty obscure stuff and of 16 bands named, I recognized two.

Well, big music nerd me got most of the bands but about five out of the sixteen listed sound nothing like the Fall. I don't know if Peter should be all fired up about the plug-in or not. I like the iTunes search function. Type in something neutral like "ice" "ent" and you'll get all sorts interesting ideas come up from your play list. Sure, they probably won't all be of the same bpm or key, but it's kind of entertaining.

Obscure bands? They're mostly bands I listen to all the time! Ive heard (and heard of, or even own) all bands in that list except for Cex.

Obscure to me. My taste is definitely centered on 70's/80's rock and alternative.
