But I didn't think Leadbelly ever recorded SJI. It took me a while, but I finally found this version - from a 1944 recording, it's Josh White. Really enjoying your site, Mr. RW - all the best!

Safe to see we're interested in the same elements of the service. It's interesting to explore the results. I wouldn't want it to be my only option. But I like having it.

I've always been intrigued by Pandora and its inner workings. And I knew the general gist of it, but until I read your article I hadn't quite different their endeavor is from most other recommendation machines out there: They all use some flavor of data-mining algorithmic smarts to find likeness, things that are like what you've said you like. But from there, Pandora completely diverges from the rest. Pandora, is EXCLUSIVELY considering the content of the music with NO consideration of what other people think. (You like things that are like what you like.) The others are EXCLUSIVELY considering what others think with NO consideration of the content. (You like things that other people like you like.)

Great song, great singer (Clint), great animation, great objects of animation (Bingo! Show)! In <a href="http://vatul.net/blog/index.php/3356/" rel="nofollow">my post on this video</a>, I've compared the animation to the Fleischers' Talkartoons featuring Betty Boop and friends. Of course, Cab Calloway's original of SJI and Minnie the Moocher were used in two such cartoons starring Betty Boop. Ha, don’t you love it?

My impression is that All Will Be Made Clear at some point, and I will dutifully pass along relevant details here. I gather they are trying to "control" the release of information.
