FSP 1.1: Apple Music

June 07, 2003

Apple Music

My first night with the Apple Music store was a month ago.
This post is mostly about my 1980s-centric taste with a few
usability issues thrown in. I'll highlight my top five pics
for Gothamist.

Looking back, I see I owe my tastes to the CBC's Brave New Waves
from about 1983 to 1988. That nightly show was (and to an
extent, still is) a testament to how much you can do with a
small budget spent wisely on research (beyond a subscription
to _NME_, but that's a starting point beyond most radio producers'
grasp) rather than on C-list celebrities and promotion.
Huge thanks to show co-founder, and first producer and host
Augusta LaPaix.

Another legacy of my listening to BNW is that its airtime of
11:30 PM - 5:30 AM forever conditioned me to be a non-morning
person.

In the Apple Music Store I first searched for and didn't find:

Cabaret Voltaire
Radiohead
The Fall
The The / Matt Johnson Update: now found
Nina Hagen. I want her _New York_ or _Smack Jack_ at karaoke.
Aphix Twin
Dead Can Dance
Prodigy -- from _Smack My Bitch Up_ and before
Housemartins
Beautiful South
Wise Guys
MC 900 Foot Jesus
Einsturzende Neubauten top 5 nominee: YÜ-GUNG (FÜTTER MEIN EGO)
Coil
Wire
Chemlab
23 Skidoo
Rita Mitsouko
Nurse With Wound
Portion Control
Mitsou (but searched for _chinois_ and was recommended Vanessa Mae)
Up Bustle and Out
Modernettes
Corsage
Princess Superstar
Genesis P-Orridge / Psychic TV / Throbbing Gristle / Chris & Cosey

I did find:
Carole Pope's _High School Confidential_ is there, but on a _Queer as Folk_ soundtrack.

Joy Division and New Order top 5 nominees: Transmission (JD and NO, but the garbled JD edition was better), Crystal (NO)

People who bought Crystal Waters's _100% Pure Love_ (round and round and again) also
bought Traci Lords, who sounds like Tangerene Dream.

LL Cool J's _Bristol Hotel_, *clean* version only

Usability Issues: the web of nested and overlapping music genres
are underutilized. In addition to a
people who bought/like THIS also bought THAT
there could also be a THIS sounds like THAT.
For example, there's no listing for crunk or gangsta genres.

I miss Net Radio 365's (circa Nov. 1999) genres:
jungle acid house trance drum and base downtempo big beat big break
24 types of Ibiza mix club music

The Streets's _Original Pirate Material_ says every track is 30 seconds long.
top 5 nominee: Let’s Push Thing‘s Forward

I search for
Offspring (who really should win a Grammy)
Chemical Brothers
Madonna

I find no spell correction of elton jon to elton john

I do find at least _The Beautiful South_ and _The Pet Shop Boys_.
I can sort results by time and find the longest re-mix.

The search by song tiltle feature uncovers some interesting
cover versions.
David Bowie's _See Emily Play_ (original by pink Floyd) was good.

Bauhaus
The Crystal Method top 5 nominee: High Roller as an example of found sound vocals/narration.
Dr. Dre insrumentals (I thought this was a joke)
lots of Rush
a good collection of _Blur_ top 5 nominee (too many songs to specify)
Velvet underground was a staff recommendation
a great _Who_ collection
MC Lyte (a guilty pleasure)

The store needs a power search:
by year actually released,
by track length (search for tracks longer than 7 minutes)

If I can get extended mixes for $1 I will buy.

Ministry's _Twitch_ I may buy. top 5 nominee: Everyday is Halloween

Need to bookmark, and sort bookmarks of songs, artists, ablums, and tracks.
A wish list, and also a way to compare, is the track on, eg
the _Modulations_ soundtrack the same as on my album ?

I's a way to highlight and select text before copying it out of
the main iTunes window.
