Here's an unusual recommendation from MyStrands, but in a good way, not a bad way. While I was listening to some Aphex Twin I checked the MyStrands application to see what they recommended. MyStrands evidently didn't have enough data to give a good recommendation, and so they told me that - they didn't blindly give me a bad recommendation, they recommended something popular, but they also told me that they were punting on a specific recommendation.

Why didn't they recommend a song from the most popular (Aphex Twin) similar artist, then? Or the most 'electronic' one?
I mean, U2's not even in the list of AT similar artists... [http://www.mystrands.com/artist/3172/recommendations]

Thanks Paul. But as a point of minor clarification, that's not just a "here's something popular", it is more general recommendation based on your listening history.
