Damned Cool Music Searching
I've always had a hard time finding new music, I read blogs, I talk to pals, I download random tracks and sometimes come across new bands that I like but more often than not end up with some sophomoric screeching and wailing by guys who normally ask if I want fries with my burger.

Enter, musicplasma : the music visual search engine.

Punch in a band or artist that you know and like and voila, you'll be presented with a matrix of music that relates to your entered search string. Clickable, bendable, scrollable and pretty damned cool, my only gripe is that I think it slowed my machine down to a slow crawl but perhaps that's because I've got an average of fifteen browser tabs going at any one time in addition to Word, Excel, Goldmine, AIM and IE as well as Netscape.

Anyway, check it out if you're in need of a new way to find music that will likely jibe with your tastes. And tell them Uncle Johnny sent you.
