Amazon XML? Google API? Web services? You want some cool web services?

The Covers Project… building a database of cover songs (songs performed by an artist other than the original performer) with the intention of creating cover “chains.” A cover chain is a set of songs in which each song is a cover of a song by the band who covered the preceding song.

So far, we have 6,075 songs (4,188 unique) and 2,960 artists catalogued. The longest “chain” we know about contains 43 songs.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
