humans vs. algorithms: the RIYL listening exploration cycle

ah nevermomd didn’t even read what this thread was

Years ago, the first song I entered in Pandora was Pink Floyd "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", hoping they'd follow it with songs of mystery and mood.

The next song Pandora played was Captain & Tenille "Love Will Keep Us Together"

i just looked up the pompeii version of that song on a porn-mode browser

up next is simon and garfunkel doing "the sound of silence"

frankly at this point i'll take daryl dragon over paul simon

that's youtube, btw

But doing so did help show your age.

The spotify playlist for "Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is weird in that it picks songs with vaguely similar aspects, except not the aspects that make Set the Controls actually interesting

ok, in keeping with the theme of the thread, my "set the controls" playlist, off the top of my head:

chico hamilton quintet - blue sands
om - pilgrimage
oneida - people of the north
the slits - earthbeat/wedding song
blues control & laraaji - awakening day

you decide

^ will listen as soon as i get wifi in my house or i can make it to the coffee shop before work

i also asked my floyd nerd friends and one of them recommended "om pax om" from the film "sign of aquarius", maybe that one as well
