I don't think it's trying to find bands that sound like your choices, but bands that you might also like based on your tastes. Pandora might say "you like minor keys, male vocals, and orchestral elements." This sounds more like Last.fm, where they mine data from people with similar tastes to find bands you might like.

Edit: I would bet that this is just a massive database of cross-referenced names, and has no information on how any band sounds.

I told it I liked Spoon, Chvrches and Wolf Parade. It recommended the visual art of collage artist Speial Guest.

Hmm, worked really well for me. That's funny about Speial Guest. I don't think I ever had that recommended to me but maybe it's the guy who runs the site's band or something.

Not a band, as far as I could tell. He or she is a visual artist. I followed a link from the site to a Facebook page--I saw a bunch of "cut-up" pieces, but no music.

I can't imagine the relationship, but I agree that Speial Guest is probably affiliated with the site.
