“If you’d like to discovery some new music and do it in a visually appealing way, TuneGlue let’s [sic] you explore the relationship between artists and bands in a connection-based web… We went from Iggy Pop through Patti Smith -> PJ Harvey -> Tori Amos -> Alanis Morissette -> The Craberries -> Garbage.”

This looks like 1) a really fun way to kill time and discover new music and 2) a potentially-useful educational tool. This could be used to plan historical, genre-related, or other types of sequences for lesson plans. It could even displayed on a SmartBoard or projector as an in-class activity. I’m excited to play around with this and see what it can do.

Also, it’s probably worth noting that though the Lifehacker review only mentions pop music examples, I tried out a few art music composers and it worked well! Jazz too. It seems Western-centric, though, which is one disadvantage.
