Well, when kcjones119 asked "If you were a hot dog would you eat yourself?" I thought to myself "if I could get to my junk, I'd definitely give it a try." That's pretty open minded isn't, it?

Due to an early attempt at a thread jacking, I clarified the thread topic....

not sure if that counts as open-minded, or self-serving... as my buddy one said, "if i could blow myself, i'd never leave home".

i'm sure most of what falls under my other catagory is all those eMusic various artist downloads that are tagged inaccurately by eMusic.

1) the color selection on those graphs is horrible. hard to tell what is what, regardless of the color scheme - very poor design.
2) pdx pollard, you scored 2.0% "canadian". hah, i knew there was a reason i liked you :)
fyi, i've been mainlining champagne for the past 2 hours. sorry aboot that :)

I'm not sure how to get a score for this. But as opinionated as people are here about music, I find it hard to believe that anyone who regularly posts on this board is "open minded" when it comes to music.
I definitely wouldn't want to be accused of being "open-minded". Open-minded simply means amorphous and lacking in principles. Definitely better to have informed opinions.

i was going to try to explain it... but it would like to explain why music older than five years old is still relevant to mr. wallace

funny, not in any dictionary i own. i thought open-minded meant "accepting of new ideas", not feeble-minded.
i think the flaw with this "open-minded index" is that it confuses wide tastes with open-mindedness. just because your music collection contains country, indie, glam rock, ska and electronica doesn't mean you can listen to the new panic at the disco album without preconceptions.

What are the tags based on? Your own tagging of music, or the general Last.FM tags? Just curious...I don't use it enough (beyond just cataloging what I listen to) to know the bells and whistles.

go to the website quoted in the first post, and point it towards your last.fm account (i.e. you need to be a last.fm user to get a score).

It's done by the general last.fm tags. Because I know I haven't marked my Jens or my Peter Bjorn and John as Swedish.

and i fully concur with this statement as i'm as closed minded as all get out about stuff that i think is crap... i.e. mainstream country
obviously there are several ways to measure open-mindedness... one could be open minded if they are searching around for music released on net labels or into experimental/fringe music or think Jandek rules the roost.

I'm so curious what the other 17.2% of unmarked lastFM tags are?
AND I'd like to point out:
17.0% Electronic
3.5% Electronica
3.0% Dance
2.2% Disco
Open. Minded.
(I listen to WAY more disco music than that, it's just usually never on my iPod.)

This does not surprise me in the least! But why are you hiding your genres? Do you have American Idol contestants on there or something? Playschool hits? Teenybopper girl bands? No...wait. That would be Smackie. Barbershop quartets? Polkas with the silver, blue and grey senior set?

Shouldn't you get bonus points for a high number of other Last.FM tags?
I'm surprised Psychedelic isn't higher on my list. Then again, only a limited number of my songs actually get picked up by Last.FM.
I'm also surprised that Swedish didn't make an appearance but I suspect that's because a whole lot of the Swedish music I listen to is labled just slightly differently such as Scandanavian Dream.

I would expect no less!
Now how in the world did Drone not show up on my list when every other song I listen to has a Drone tag to it either by me or other listeners?
What's up with the Pagan music? You into some weird shit we don't know about? I mean, besides the obvious. ;)
Kosmo, yours screams KOSMO all over it! Bet I could view your list and know it was you right off the bat. Good Kosmotastic mix.

I think it's the few Fursaxa albums I have.
You can't possibly listen to her and not think "bring on the human sacrifice!" during/after. :)

again, 26% "other". and 4% classic rock? I am assuming the Velvets make up most of that 4%.

i'd like to know more about how these categories are assigned... there's rock, there's indie, and then there's indie-rock? and WTF is "canadian" - must contain at least one reference to maple syrup or hockey? what if a band from Canuckistan plays indie-rock - are they labeled "canadian" or "indie-rock"? or just "indie", or just "rock"? if you disagree with labeling, can you unilaterally change it? in which case, can one game the system through relabeling and appear more open-minded despite in actuality only listening to rock, indie, and indie-rock? "constellation"?!?
(the above is further proof that, in my case, consumption of caffeine after 8 pm is a baaaaaaaaad idea. off to go gnaw on some furniture)
-
Constellation is a Canadian record label.
So most of the stuff labeled "Constellation" is probably also labeled "Canadian."
GYBE and ASMZ for instance.
-
yeah, i dont really agree with the labelling some of the time. like BRMC is listed as indie, indie rock, alternative. i dont really think of BRMC when i think "alternative" but whatever.
these tags are just generated by the users right? my musical openness is actually going down for some reason.
-
Mine's went down since last time too.
