Musicovery - find new songs based on how you feel

by Dolores Parker Feb 3rd 2008

Musicovery is a site where you can discover new music based on how you're feeling. Visually it's eye candy. Songs are represented in color and are connected by their relationship to one another based on tempo, and positive or negative lyrics.

No log-in is required to start testing it out. Simply pick out your music category: rock, latin, rap, disco, soul, etc. Then go to the mood/energy matrix and click where you want to start. Music based on your mood preference will appear and you can click on different songs to explore the sound.

We found it annoying the site has no information page outlining its features so you're kind of on your own to discover if you want to register or not. On the other hand, the site is intuitive. You select a song based on your mood, and then like magic, the music just plays. No brain cells required.

Apparently, if you do decide to register, you can save your favorite songs and ban the ones you don't like. Music quality is low-fi on free accounts and comes with those ads you've come to expect.

A paid account starts at $4, features high-fi, allows you to save your favorite songs and has no ads. Even if you don't register, you can buy songs via iTunes, Ebay, and Amazon. We gather the site's name is a combo of music and discovery, but it could also be argued it's a combo of music and recovery. If your mood is low, you could choose happy songs to get you out of a funk.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
