Mechanize + KEXP = New Music 2

Posted by Aaron Patterson on August 10, 2006

I was able to write a pretty quick mechanize script that grabbed the playlist from kexp and put it in a SQLite database. From that, I came up with the top 4 songs played on KEXP for July:

  1. Tv On The Radio – Playhouses
  2. Midlake – Roscoe
  3. Johnny Cash – Gods Gonna Cut You Down
  4. Silversun Pickups – Lazy Eye

I also used Gruff Graphs to make a graph:

    have you thought about building an http proxy that creates mechanize scripts? a port from HTTP::Recorder from perl …. perhaps?

    I’ve thought about it. I just haven’t done it yet. I also want to get WWW::Mechanize to support gzipping first. I’ve also been thinking about getting Mechanize to support Selenium IDE scripts, which may work better than HTTP::Recorder.
