"Ever loved a band so much that you've gone rooting through their trash, just to feel close to the mundanity of their everyday life? No? Me neither. But I bet there's a couple among you who have hosted embarrassing, Geocities-esque fan sites.\nThat's the premise behind Fans Forever and Ever, a fun little hack created by Greg Sabo during this year's Music Hack Day in New York.\nThe hack, which uses APIs from The Echo Nest and musiXmatch, basically creates a crazy-as-hell fanpage for any artist you choose. Type in, say, the name of my favorite band, Man Man, and you'll receive a disturbing enthusiastic webpage featuring poems (which are sometimes murderous, sometimes fawning), quotes from a fictional web master, lyrics, photos, etc.\n\"These fanpages weren't interesting because they were informative,\" Sabo says, referring to Geocities fanpages of yore. \"They were teeming with personality. Most obviously, they had a strong 'folk design' aesthetic, with people hacking barely functional HTML and CSS with sometimes hilarious results. We've moved towards a web where normal users exert less and less control over page design, and I think something's being lost there.\"\nCheck it out for a quick midday, mid-week laugh \u2014 unless you find yourself identifying with said fictional webmaster. Then you should seek counseling."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
