Grooveshark

This shit is pretty sick. Radio feature seems way better than Pandora's because you can add new tracks to your playlist feed to "steer" the direction of recommendations. I still have the same problem as ever with "recommendation" systems in that I basically have to choose between rock/indie and grime/hiphop/dubstep because if I toss all of it into one list, I get just total shit. And when grooveshark tosses me some total random bullshit track, it tends to be a random 90s grunge track, which is way preferable to Pandora giving me some fucking wanna be Cat Power emo track. I should be careful saying that, as I can't stop it from giving me fucking Skinny Puppy tracks right now. >.<

Also, why have I never heard of Moving Units before? West Coast only thing?

I'm gonna dedicate a few weeks to "training" it to see how it improves with increased use -- hopefully better than Netflix which can't seem to reconcile that my favorite genres are HK action, 80/90s scifi-action, old school Noir, and snarky comedies.

Has anyone seen Outlander? I watched that shit the other week and thought it owned. Way fucking better than the crappy CGI Beowulf from a few years back. I really love re-imaginings of classic stories. I mean it obviously has flaws, hence the direct to dvd release, but have you ever seen anything where modern + middle ages isn't fucking dreadful?

Grooveshark is pretty hot, been using it for several months now. The best is unlike gaydora, it's available outside the US.

Not really sure if all of their music is your style, but I'm pretty sure you're gonna like the first 2-3 mins of this tune, check it out =)

Liked Outlander. Have you seen Pandorum? I thought that was a bit better. Any other suggestions on Sci-Fi/Horror movies? I'm a big Netflix SciFi nerd..

Sunshine?

Calikill said...

Seen Sunshine already. Really liked that one as well. It's very similar in story to my favorite of all time, Event Horizon.

Need more recommendations!
