I'm a slacker. I don't have a single MP3 on my (work) computer. But I found a spiffy new site that's keeping me entertained, pandora.com. It's a music streaming site, that matches music to your initial entry. So for example, I'm now listening to a channel that was created by entering Thelonious Monk (feeling like swing-y jazz, Or, to quote these guys: block piano cords, solo piano performance, angular melodies, major tonality and quirky ideas. They even tell you why the songs are similar.). The "feel" of the songs slowly evolves from the first song title/artist you enter. It's really cool. And I have never heard of half the artists.

I'm taking bets that someone on my friends list knows one of the folks who started it, since it's in Oakland, and based on the "music genome project."

Anyway, I recommend it if you have good network and feel like exploring music a bit.

You've been telling me about this for a while, and I, as usual, kept ignoring you...but I was bored tonight, so I checked it out, and it's GREAT!

Then I showed it to Steve and he loves it. He says it's the best thing I've shown him all month - possibly all year. He now officially thinks you're cool. A direct quote, "There are times when it's great to have a complete comuter geek for a sister."

Um, I'm flattered. Did you ever look up that guy that sounds just like Steve?

It's great fun. Thanks! Though I recommend starting with a song rather than with a band. "The Cure" gave me some of the Cure's worst, whereas "To the Sky" gave me all sorts of stuff, including, eventually, "To the Sky"!

Agreed. Especially for bands that have a huge range, starting with a song is better.
