Someone created a tourist map of music and I have to admit it is somewhat interesting. The way it works you type in the name of the band (ex. Smashing Pumpkins) or musician (for example Johnny Cash) you are interested in and the page morphs into a map of other artists that people likewise enjoy. Make sense? Check it out and it will become clear! The site is hosted by Gnod - a self-proclaimed site that calls itself "The global network of dreams." In reality, Gnod is an experiment in the field of artificial intelligence. It is a self-adapting system, living on a server and 'talking' to everyone that comes along. Gnods intention is to learn about the outer world and to learn 'understanding' its visitors. Whether the intention is actually fulfilled remains to be seen but have a visit.

cool links - will have to check out further...
Check em' out!
That is cool, isn't it? One thing I noticed though, is that I haven't returned to it after seeing it a few months ago...nifty, but is it actually useful? Now, if it was hooked into something like Webjay and you could get songs from some of the artists...then it would sweet.
Yeah - you're right! Like type in Jack Johnson and it links you to Ben Lee and you could download his album (even if it was fee-based) - now that would be cool. I keep finding new artists to listen to but it's mainly been from TV or Movie soundtracks as of late.
