ecib, at some point back in the ancient past, linked to an article about Ghostly and drip.fm.

It prompted me to buy the first new music I'd bought in maybe 10 years.

That post has cost me at least $15 a month for four years, plus several gift subscriptions, and I still can't find it.

Speaking of great articles that I couldn't find back, there was an amazing article on how mobile games are made (Farmville etc) that you mentioned a while ago, which I finally found again:

    That essay took me the better part of an hour to read, but I can say unequivocally that all my time spent on Hubski to date was justified by it.

Oh yeah. An incredible piece of writing. I've got it saved; I shoulda linked it if you asked.

This is totally bugging me that I can't find it for no good reason. I went through my entire comment history and the archive seemed to stop after 500-and-change days...maybe mk knows something I don't about comment history...

They used to have an app called Ghostly Discovery that let you select a mood, analog-to-digital ratio, and fast-to-slow ration and then would auto generate a pandora-style playlist based off of those inputs, consisting of only Ghostly artists.

The web interface still works and my app does still, but the app isn't available on the app store any more. That label is so ridiculous in the best way...

You and me both. I wanna say it was a New York Times article but I could be wrong.

I had Ghostly Discovery on my iPhone. It was dope. They long since stopped adding to it though...
