Artist Consolidation
Posted: Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:13 am
Dear FMs, what do you think of consolidating the following artists? I initially came upon two of these by chance, but then it occurred to me to whip up a bit of code to find similar artist names (using Levenshtein distance for now) and found many more. I think it'd be an improvement to the archive. I might just go ahead and consolidate them all on the Jukebox as I've set up a simple form for doing that.
Tobin's Spirit Guide -> Tobin's Spirit Guide (merge the one with the fancy curly apostrophe into the the one with the simple straight apostrophe)
Thanks Glenny for the Frisbee -> Thank Glennny for the Frisbee (the second one has three entries and has "Glennny" spelled right)
The Bersfordians -> The Beresfordians (second one shows up in Google search results other than Song Fight! related results)
Big Matt Hyatt and his Rusty Red Riders -> Big Matt Hyatt and His Rusty Red Ryders (second one has two songs, first only has one)
ChinMusic -> Chin Music (second has way more entries)
Chips, Abbott & Ray -> Chips, Abbott, & Ray (serial comma)
A Werkenhorse -> Daj Werkenhorse
Dan Werkenhorse -> Daj Werkenhorse (Daj has a bunch of entries, the others each have only one, they all sound like the same dude)
Dr Spectacular's Power Circus -> Dr. Spectacular's Power Circus
Elastic Wasteband -> Elastic Waste Band (second has two entries, first only one)
Evil E -> Evil-E
Flvxxvm Forvm -> Flvxxvm Florvm
Fortune's Favorite -> Fortune's Favorites
Freddie Love -> Freddielove
Hey, It's Romer -> Hey it's Romer
The Interchangables -> The Interchangeables (although I like the ring of "The Inter-chang-ables" a la Ben Chang from "Community")
JeebasJones -> Jeebas Jones
Links vs. Music -> Link vs. Music
MC Milk Plus -> MC Milk-Plus (Google search results indicate he uses the dash)
Meat Knob -> Meatknob
The Mexican Champanzees -> The Mexican Chimpanzees (although the misspelled one is funny)
Napoleons Toes -> Napoleon's Toes

Ratt Poizon -> RattPoizon
rice Henry and the Transformers -> Brice Henry and the Transformers
RioMondo -> Rio Mondo

Star Crossed Voyager -> Star-Crossed Voyager
Also, dear eclectic spoons guy, wtf? Is it "her" or "the" spoons? Is it "Eclectic" or "@eclectic"? Is it "SpOOns" or "spOOns" or "sp00ns"? Oy!
