So the only things I love more than music are baked goods. It’s true. I went on a baking tear in London and never looked back. Last week – two strawberry rhubarb crumbles. For real (both are in season, what’s a girl to do?). So what could be better than music or a baked good? A musical service with a baked good name. Leave it to the Germans – a demented sense of humor. But I like it. Like last.fm and and the Pandora’s of the world, Mufin has many tools to help sift through the plethora of music available and provide relevantt recommendations. What I like most about Mufin is that 1) the main technology behind all of their applications was developed by Joseph von Fraunhofer. What a name. and 2) it’s a back end application. Thus you are tied into one application and resentful whenever a new technology or site pops up.

Budding developers, have at!

But not a bad Farrelly Brothers movie. Quite the opposite. TuneGlue, as brought to me by VSL, is the new, new thing. Think Pandora only not banned in the UK (thanks Gordon Brown!). And throw in a fun six degrees of separation format and you get TuneGlue. What I like – ridiculously easy format for finding similar artists. You can click on a new artist, see their latest releases, purchase their album on Amazon, or delete them. You can even play with the way the chart looks. Fun!
What I don’t like – listening to new artists. Why can’t I? I like the knowledge of seeing new artists, but everything these days relies on a free listen of SOMETHING! I would expect a site supported by LastFM to have at least playability. Maybe they are saving it for V2.0.

Thoughts anyone?
