Mickey Katz & Related artists

[Susan Lerner <meydele...>]

Engaging in all too typical avoidance behavior instead of doing the nasty 
mail merge letters that have to go out, I have been playing around with the 
Internet music and radio service, MusicMatch, which, in a moment of 
weakness I subscribed to.  Rather limited klezmer offerings (hey, I don't 
need Internet-type variety to fill out my klezmer listening, but why not 
check the genre out? Mostly I use it when I want to hear alternative rock 
that I don't want to invest in CD's for).  When you choose an artist, they 
pull up what they consider to be "related artists."  So, for fun, I entered 
Mickey Katz, and this is who is listed as Related Artists (in order, 
"sorted by popularity"):

        Klezmer Conservatory Band
        Coldplay
        The White Stripes
        Counting Crows
        Elvis Presley
        Puddle of Mudd
        Bob Marley
        Santana
        U2
        Red Hot Chili Peppers
        Jennifer Lopez
        Avril Lavigne
        50 Cents

1 out of 13 ain't bed (NOT). Go figure...
