When I was growing up, MySpace was one of my favourite sources. Sadly, they lost their entire collection in a botched server migration. In April 2019, the MySpace Dragon Hoard was uploaded to the Internet Archive. I gathered all the metadata, added all the songs to an iTunes 10.6.3 library, and made smart playlists based on genre, location and (assumed) language. That's helping me find unknown bands from far away, who I would never have heard of otherwise. Personally I'm into rock (all kinds: punk, metal, Christian), though the Dragon Hoard also has pop, rap, dance, etc. Listening through everything is taking a very long time, and most of the music honestly sucks. But when I do find something good (e.g. The Dolls, Ritalinn) then it's very indie, and good for learning a new language! Message me if you'd like more details, and/or have a good idea how to share the content safely. Another project I'd love to see is to group bands based on friends' Likes, which I've scraped from Facebook. There must be a way to visualise clusters of bands who many of the same friends all like, though I'm not sure how best to do that.
