dissecting iggy pop

If you haven't seen this you have to check it out. It's Pandora by the music genome project. (click on title for link) It systematically creates a personalized radio station for you based on your favorite artists and the music that most closely mimics their harmony, rhythm, instrumentation, lyrics, orchestration, singing and vocal harmony. Basically, it's the first steps of an impending IRobot disaster where artificial intelligence can predict our every thought and exploit predictably "human" thinking such as a speciesism, insecurity, and naivete. And then exterminating the human race with the greatest possible amount of irony. Was that overly dramatic? Well, it's an awesome website.
