Tuesday, 22 May 2012. Some brief thoughts on the London homebrew scene. A few weeks back I was asked by The Strongroom bar. To write up a few words on homebrewing in London for the lit at their London Beer Festival. Unfortunately, it had to be cut to make room for some write-ups from breweries added at the last minute, but it occurs to me that it might be interesting to others, so I'm throwing it up here. Without further ado:. The Rise and Rise of Homebrewing. And Jim's Beer Kit. Links to this post.

Wednesday, 27 January 2010. So in a touch more than 48hrs I'll be hoping on a plane to go the Stockholm MusicHackday. It should be excellent, if the last one I went to. Is any judge. I'll be joined by fellow ISMS. The hack is being formulated, but may involve The World Bank's api. And some yet to be determined sources of listener statistics. Also, somehow the echonest's api. Will be involved because I need to leave stockholm with one of these. Links to this post. A bit about playlists and similarity.

Saturday, 29 May 2010. Publications on playlists in ISMIR. So for this year's ISMIR I'll be doing another tutorial. This one is entitled " Finding A Path Through The Jukebox – The Playlist Tutorial. And I'll be presenting it with Paul Lamere. First I did a simple title search using the tool at ismir.net. This shows that from 2000 - 2009 there were 14 papers with 'playlist' occurring somewhere in the title. Here they are over time:. Well, now we're getting somewhere! The normalization didn't seem to chang...

Tuesday, 5 April 2011. Free Beer: A Plea for Open Data [About Beer]. I wrote most of this right after my viva, but got a bit sidetracked.). Hey look, my first blog post about beer (or at least beer metadata). A few weeks ago, Tim Cowlishaw ( @mistertim. To which I replied with this. Is a way to get the info a human reads, say on a website into a format a computer program can read. More on why I'd want to do that in a minute.). Which was followed by what I thought was a reasonable request. I'd love to bui...

So I spent Thursday and Friday a couple weeks ago at the Barcelona Music Hackday. Part of the Sónar Music Festival. There were loads of excellent hacks ( full list. Including my own, Legalize It! In this post I'm going to go into a bit more depth about the hack, lessons learned and teasers for things I might do. Of looking at, say, The Pirate Bay's top music torrents.

Tuesday, 21 December 2010. I finally submitted my phd thesis. I'll post some bits of it over the next few weeks, and the whole thing after my viva. To start, here's the abstract:. If a near-complete collection of recorded music is available what does one listen to next? While the world of music distribution underwent a revolution, the ubiquitous access and availability it created brought new problems in recommendation and discovery. Links to this post.
