I Like This Band is a little web app I whipped together in about an hour using Echonest‘s API. It simply allows you to enter a musician or band’s name and returns a randomized list of similar artists, with links to search for the artist in Google and Google Video and to add the artist to your Pinboard account.

I mainly wrote it for myself as a simplified version of feature-rich tools like Pandora or Last.fm. I didn’t want playlists of music or videos or anything like that; I just wanted a little simple way to explore and discover new music.

I might add more features as time goes by.
