What else?
Wow, document classification with Bayes nets. How fresh is that??! I wonder how many more of these we'll see? I liked this version better: http://www.pitchformula.com/ He took it a step further and actually MADE art based on those kinds of predictions.

Re:pop != rock... and to clarify: "he" above is Alex Reynolds.
Loren Jan Wilson carefully defines (pop-up window from overview "popular music":
For the purposes of this project, "popular music" is an all-encompassing term that includes rock, hip-hop, dance, country, folk, and experimental noise music, plus a bunch of other things too. My review database includes some jazz and classical music reviews as well. It's common for popular music magazines to include music that "crosses over" to many different genres; pop reviews are usually written with a certain age demographic in mind rather than a certain genre, and the average music listener touches upon a number of different genres in the search for the perfect life soundtrack.
Note that his second goal is to write "pop songs." -

Re:You misunderstand his use of "pop"
I thought the same thing when I heard the mp3's - "What are these, Postal Service b-sides or something?"
I guess one look at Pitchfork's review of Give Up through the Pitchfilter and it all makes sense. My eyes are burning from all the neon green. -
