Lothar Krempel Max-Planck-Institut or the Study of Societies Cologne, Germany [email protected] July 3 2010 INSNA International Network Conference Sunbelt XXX Riva Del Garda, Italy June 29- July 2010 – Typeset by FoilTEX – The last.fm Dataset • These are the raw data files corresponding to the Last.fm artist map project at http://sixdegrees.hu/last.fm, gathered some time around late 2007 (so they are unlikely to be up- to-date now). • The similarity network is directed and asymmetric; it is not guaranteed that the similarity of artist A to B is the same as the similarity of artist B to A. (In fact, they are likely to be unequal). This is due to the fact that the similarity scores given by the Last.fm API are always normalized s.t. the similarity of artist A towards its most similar artist is always 100.

  • On “Strict Machine” by Goldfrapp
    On “Strict Machine” by Goldfrapp Sam Jowett Four months, fifteen days in. Honeymoon Phase meant to mellow out. Passion ought to neutralize. But how fucking wrong is that. Chrysalis shredding—not just clothes—but those thoughts. True selves emerge. Polyester veneer of politeness is now scraped clean. Goldfrapp The culprit: a single nail, obsidian sharp. Goldfrapp’s satin clad, ebony-gloved fingers. Needle digs into vinyl. You dig into my skin. “Wonderful Electriccccccc.” The lyric “Strict Machine” sashays over the bridge. We saunter past discarded inhibitions. The chorus awaits, an Black Cherry eruption with a single revelation: 04/2003 I’m in love! Mute I’m in love! I’m in love! “Felt Mountain,” their debut, was the bait. But just like us, hints flirted beneath the cabaret instrument gloss. Even masquerades can only hide appearances for so long. A truth awaited. Not to be whispered, but rather gasped aloud. “Strict Machine” dictates: Dressed in white noise. Little else. This is the inverse of a sophomore slump. Former trip-hop ambience is usurped by electroclash riptide. Siren synths draw us closer. Entrapping me to you. Lyrics our parents warned us about. Trent Reznor wishes he could be this lethal. Dance. It does not ask. It demands. Sitting is heresy. Head thrashing, body sweating. This is not some damn waltz. Hands do not clasp in graceful arcs. Rather, bodies meet perpendicular. Entwine inversely. Arms twist. Disorientation until we can’t tell each other apart. You tell me you can tie cherry stems with your tongue. I tell you I can whisper “Black Cherry” nothings into your ear.

  • The Ultimate Playlist This List Comprises More Than 3000 Songs (Song Titles), Which Have Been Released Between 1931 and 2018, Ei
    The Ultimate Playlist This list comprises more than 3000 songs (song titles), which have been released between 1931 and 2021, either as a single or as a track of an album. However, one has to keep in mind that more than 300000 songs have been listed in music charts worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century [web: http://tsort.info/music/charts.htm]. Therefore, the present selection of songs is obviously solely a small and subjective cross-section of the most successful songs in the history of modern music.

  • The ANDY BELL Story
    The ANDY BELL story In 1985, Andy Bell responded to a newspaper that would eventually influence the future of pop music. Vince Clarke was looking for a singer to perform on some tracks he was writing and when he chose Andy, they created music magic with the birth of the hit- making synth-pop band Erasure and their first album Wonderland and the single "Oh L'Amour." While Wonderland actually struggled to find an audience upon initial release, their second album Circus was a bonafide hit that went platinum and stayed on the charts for over a year, thanks to a string of the hit singles "Sometimes", "It Doesn't Have To Be", "The Circus", and "Victim Of Love." 1988's The Innocents would solidify Erasure's Icon status by going triple platinum in the UK and platinum in the U.S., generating three Top 20 hits with "Ship of Fools", "Chains of Love" and "A Little Respect." The Innocents would become the first in a series of five consecutive number one albums in the UK, that would include Crackers International, WIld, Chorus, Abba-esque (4-track EP), and I Say I Say I Say and the hit singles "Stop!", "Blue Savannah", "Drama", "Star", "Chorus", "Love to Hate You" and "Always." In 1992, the duo released a singles compilation, Pop! - The First 20 Hits, which also hit number one and went triple platinum, featuring all the band's singles released from 1985 to 1992. During this time, Erasure also contributed the song "Too Darn Hot" to the Cole Porter tribute album Red Hot + Blue, produced by the Red Hot Organization, an international organization dedicated to fighting AIDS.

  • Famous Sounds
    14/04/2015 Famous Sounds Famous Sounds "Famous sounds" are sounds that have been created or used by somebody, liked and then copied by many others, and thus earned a "classic" status. I'd like to open this section of Synth Mania utilizing as a starting point portions of an article appeared in the October 1995 issue of Keyboard magazine, titled "20 Sounds That Must Die", in which the author David Battino analyzes many sounds that have, over the years, been used, re­ used and abused again. I added audio examples to the list for those who might not be familiar with those sounds. From there, I'll start adding my own examples of more sounds, including loops. When possible, audio examples are available. Keyboard magazine List: Audio SOUND NAME DESCRIPTION example 1. The square/triangle wave solo This flutey, highly synthetic lead sound sure stands out, but already belongs to someone. Still, add portamento and maybe you'll get Lucky Man lucky, man. (Note: the author is referring to the song "Lucky Man", by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Emerson's Moog solo is regarded as the first rock synthesizer solo in history) 2. The sample­and­hold­to­pitch computer processing effect "Professor, why don't you ask the computer?" Bee­poo­bee­bee­boo­ Processing poo­bah­pah... has anyone ever really heard a computer make this noise? (Note: I used an Alesis airSynth for this sound.) 3. Rez zaps Feed white noise through a rapidly closing VCF with the resonance cranked. Kraftwerk did. And now most every techno band does.
