TuneGlue: Cool Music Discovery Tool… That Seems Hidden

When I started digging though, I found where the app had won an award in August of 2007. Where

I'm totally addicted to it,

TuneGlue Sticks To Finding Music

The clean, clickable interface of TuneGlue delves into Last.fm to find relationships between bands, which may reveal new music you may like, or a band you've forgotten over the years. TuneGlue pulls its music data out of Last.fm and presents it onscreen as a clickable node. Enter the name of a band into the search field, and it appears as a spot. Clicking the spot opens a menu of choices, including Releases and Expand. The other two options lock the node in place, or delete it. read more

Relational Music Discovery

The basic premiss behind this new breed of music search is that you start by entering a genre, artist, song, or geo-location, and you are returned music that relates to your search term. In most cases the returns are presented as a visualization in order to show the connections between data. Below you find a list of the sites that I go to when I'm trying to find new music. If you know of any music discovery sites that are not listed please post them in the comments section. Thanks! Artis
