- ZeroGravitas 16y agoBy strict Kevin Bacon rules there's some double counting there. Someone being in a band with someone should just be one link, the same as being in a film with them. Instead he breaks it down into two jumps, 1 for the first person to be linked to the band, then for the band to be linked to the second person. Just a nitpick, not meant to detract from the geeky awesomness of the project.
- th 16y agoIn now looks like Interpol is no more than 15 steps to all of these bands. They must have just updated their data or algorithms.
- th 16y agoI wonder where they are getting their information from. Connecting Gnarls Barkley to Muddy Waters reveals the song "もしも君まで失くしたら" by Neil Diamond as a connection, which plays Neil Diamond's cover of "The Chanukah Song".
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoThat song's from a Japanese Ennio Morricone collection, and the song appears to be an italian cover of Solitary Man by Neil Diamond, retitled "Se perdo anche te": Japanese version: http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=636641 http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=636641 Version with titles translated back to original language: http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=620439 http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=620439 I think the service to match the songs to play clips has gotten confused by some part of this, either the Japanese text or the Musicbrainz convention of putting the composer (in this case Neil Diamond) as the main "artist" in orchestral works which makes sense for an Ennio Morricone collection, but is somewhat surprising when the "composer" is a pop star. Some details on the cover from Wikipedia: In 1966, famous Italian singer Gianni Morandi recorded a cover version titled "Se perdo anche te " ("If I lose you too"). The author of the Italian lyrics was Franco Migliacci, who was Morandi's producer at that time, and eight years before had written the lyrics to Domenico Modugno's international hit "Nel blu, dipinto di blu (Volare)". This song was arranged by Ennio Morricone, who at that time conducted many tunes published by the Italian RCA Victor, and was the B-Side of "C'era un ragazzo che come me amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones " ("There was a boy who, like me, loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones"), a song against the Vietnam war.
