Ghostly Discovery App
Here’s something to keep you busy over the weekend: The Ghostly Discovery App for iPhone. The free app allows you to create streaming playlists from the Ghostly catalogue by choosing a “mood” via a spectrum color wheel and a “style” via fader-like sliders. It’s sort of like Pandora but instead of picking a specific artist, you use the mood and style of the music you’re looking for as a starting point. And of course, you can find some Tycho stuff in there too. Check it out here
Update: Sorry, but as many of you pointed out in the comments, the app is not yet available internationally. Ghostly is working out the international licensing issues and it should be out soon. You can sign up to be notified when it is available by entering your email at the bottom of this page.

July 24, 2009 at 7:30 amWe hear everyone loud and clear on the international release of the app. This is something we wanted to do, but due to international licensing and publishing laws, it’s taking a little longer than expected. It is on the horizon, but unfortunately I don’t have a timeline that I can give you at this time.

July 27, 2009 at 7:25 pmThis thing is awesome. Digital/analog control is a great idea. I punched in Laid back/introspective, a bit analog, medium speed and it gave me 5 tracks I’ve never heard that I love. Pretty good marketing tool…
