Instead of relying on machines to recommend music, John Scalzi does something radical ... he asks his readers to recommend some music to 're-hipify' him. He's received lots of interesting recommendations - funny thing, no one asked John what kind of music John likes ... so apparently human recommenders are not stymied by the 'new-user' cold-start problem. They'll just recommend things that they like. John does hint that he doesn't like Emerson, Lake and Palmer - what's with that? Well ... no recommendations from me!
