Liveplasma is a wonderful site for searching music and films. Introduced to me by Learn 2.0, I've explored briefly and am impressed.
This site gives the information as a visual map - data is grouped according to interests, style, epoch and other criteria which suggest that someone will like it - as it relates to their search. The closer a film or band is to your favorite artist/film, the greater chances are that you will also enjoy that particular artist/film. Liveplasma can become your personal directory search tool for movies and bands/artists.
Just as an example, I did a search for Joe Nichols, a country-western artist. The map which gives related artists is quite colorful and informative. The 3 closests artists returned for this search were Darryl Worley (I checked out at OCLS his latest CD - not real impressed but can hear similarities), Alan Jackson and George Strait.
Also to the left is the Discography pane which lists the works of the artists. In this case, it gave about 5 CD's of Nichols which is linked to Amazon.com. (Awesome place to shop for 'used' CD's, etc.)
Log on and you can do searches by Artist/Band, Movie, Director and Actor. Have fun discovering new, related artists/movies!
