Very very nicely done :)

Please don't get offended, but the color scheme seems rather jarring. Any chance you can change that? Or give an option to?

Great job!

No offense at all, I think I probably did take the "hotttnesss" theme a little too far with the colors...

wow, this is awesome.

but please track Spoon :) - or is this algorithmically choosing bands?

i find the roll over for last.fm / spotify exceptionally jarring - how about icons to the right of the spark lines or something?

It's all done algorithmically, here's a good blog post about the data: http://musicmachinery.com/2009/12/09/a-rising-star-or/

Welcome to HN, Reid. I'm a pretty big fan of what you guys are doing over there at echo nest. Any plans to beef up the documentation (i.e. tutorials) in the near future?

Hi ABrant - yes, indeed we are looking at extending our docs and tutorials in all sorts of ways. Thanks for asking. -- Paul (Paul@Echonest.com)
