Glad to see I'm not the only shallow guy here on the iTMS. Well,
either that or my taste in music is more common than I thought.
Because there has to be something more than random chance to the way
iTMS "Listeners also bought..." recommendations tend to track my own
choices, at least where attractive female performers are concerned.
Do the folky vocals of
Beth
Waters, the classical violin of
Janine
Jansen and the jazzy New Age of Keiko Matsui appeal to similar audiences? Or just
to men who enjoy a pretty face?
Let's assume for the moment it's the former more than the latter, if
only so I can feel better about my own choices. But either way, it
means following those links in the iTMS often lead to some pleasant
discoveries. Because I can't see what the performers look like on my
iPod, at least until I upgrade to the photo model. The music is what
counts. And I like my music gentle and melodic, whether vocal or
instrumental, whether classical or modern. Not all the time, of
course. But often enough that I appreciate pointers from my fellow
iTMSers.
As, I hope, do you...
