Blogs have always been vital to what we do—they are the reason the Hype Machine exists and helps you discover new music. Folks asked for a better way to discover blogs in our directory (and keep their feeds fresh). We tested a number of approaches and landed on the Blog Recommender. The feature is rather simple: it generates a list of recommended blogs based on tracks you’ve loved.
There’s an amazing and ever-evolving community of bloggers out there. We hope the Recommender will help you find more of them!
Let us know how it works for you.
I got more than 200 songs in my favorites and 340 songs in my listening history and still get this message:
We couldn’t find anything for you, yet.
Keep listening and favoriting
tracks so we know what you like!
Or try the blog directory.
How come?

Yes! I was about to write a Python script to do this but I’m glad it’s on the site 🙂

@Itse
Same – I have 100+ favourites and I’m getting no hits.

@Itse @Martin thanks for letting us know. We’ve tweaked some things, give it a shot now.

I get a whole bunch of rec’s but almost every one is based off of the same half dozen songs.
Kinda whack since these were my jams many moons ago and I’d like to explore blogs that play the stuff ive been listening to lately
