Love music? Love access to endless free amounts of it without commercials?
You have got to check out Pandora, if you aren't already addicted. Ok, so I don't drink coffee anymore, so I've transitioned to healthier addictions.
Pandora is a free personalized web radio station. You can create as many "stations" as you want, with genres or artists/bands. I love Brett Dennen (see that YouTube video below), so I created a Brett Dennen station. Then "they" identify other music with similar qualities and play it on the station (called the musical genome project), plus his music. So I just got introduced to a couple of fabulous musicians I've never heard of! I am loving this new station.
I have an incredibly catholic taste in music, so I've tried to see if I could "stump" Pandora by coming up with a genre or group, and so far, they've got it all - Kurtis Blow, Soledad Bravo, Illapu, AR Rahman. So this service isn't dominated by the mass market music companies. Yeah!
