... back in the day we&#x27;d just use WinAmp overlays and &#x27;set desktop to color&#x27;, and call it a day.<p>(filed under: #getoffmylawn)

The images linked to the songs are quite nice, they fit in a good way. That is what I think is interesting, I wouldn&#x27;t have thought that the approach could work. Neither the analysis of the lyrics nor the way of getting a flickr image via a search weighted by itnerestingness. I might adapt the flickr part, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nurh&#x2F;wallofsound&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;wallofsound.py#L40" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nurh&#x2F;wallofsound&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;wallofsound....</a> is really a lot easier than what I did instead.<p>You aren&#x27;t by any chance interested in separating that, in hosting a server which gives a link to a good flickr image when given a word? I searched for something like that and in the end stayed with my ugly approach of parsing flickriver for getting a random image from a hard-coded group with a fitting topic.

Quick link to repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nurh&#x2F;wallofsound" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nurh&#x2F;wallofsound</a> It&#x27;s a little bit hidden near the end of the blog post.

&quot;First, finding the lyrics of the song that’s playing, and picking out the key words or themes from it&quot;<p>I listen to Melodic Death Metal. Some of the themes in this genre are not suited to provide pictures one might want to look at. A blacklist or filter for some keywords could help here.<p>Would be nice if you could provide more examples for other genres.

I would love to see this used widely, become some sort of a service and see improvements in the quality of the matching algorithm.
