Nice lookin', but the drink recommendations are terrible:

Hawkwind: 2-Buck Chuck (should be lager)

Martin Denny: 1 bottle Metaxa, neat (should be a Mai Tai or something)

Combustible Edison: A drink called the Combustible Edison that is most assuredly not the real Combustible Edison: http://www.food.com/recipe/combustible-edison-279922

Motorhead: Rum and Cranberry (should be Jack Daniels and a boot in the face of anyone who suggests otherwise)

etc.

Several of the recipes call for marijuana?

http://drinkify.org/BOB%20MARLEY , for example. Fairly sure 10 ounces of marijuana wouldn't fit in the glass.

Amusingly, it also gives terrible results for bands named after drinks...

"“The Dirty Martini” - 1 bottle Pinot Noir. Serve at room temperature. Garnish with maraschino cherry."

And searching for 'vodka martini' just gives a blank page.

'James Bond' gives an amusing warning from Last.fm - the 'artist picture' is a sticker saying "Put only the correct artist name in your file's ID3 Artist tag to avoid incorrect or duplicate results."

"“The Gary Numan” - 1 oz. Cocaine. Serve on rocks. Garnish with fire."

"“The Cradle of Filth” - 8 oz. Blood, 8 oz. Cough syrup. Combine in highball glass and serve. Stir quickly."

Made me laugh :) Although the 'Brahms' recommends 10oz of ecstasy, which seems improbable!

i always welcome drinks suggestions so upvoted... but if i'm already listening to something, why the hell do i need to listen to more of it?

i ended up with two musics playing on my headphones... and i wasn't even drunk yet.

update: i actually stopped pandora as this one keeps playing the same band
