"Out of the 8,000 songs Beck has downloaded onto his hard drive, he's got a rotating mix of hundreds on his iPod that he updates daily. This is what Beck was listening to on Feb. 27, 2002."
An oblique entrant into music mapping terrain, this lovely image [pdf version] appeared in the New York Times magazine over the weekend, charting what's on Beck's iPod. Imagine this as a clickable image - each name clickable - a particular view of a database entry, composed of 8000 other entries - it's almost everything you need to know about Beck's music, arranged in terms of other musicians/database entries. Like allmusic.com's 'Roots and Influences section', but arranged as a portrait. [via ipoding.com]
