Pandora Rocks
I have the coolest hat. I got it at Hitachi free lunch.
Type in "The Shins" perfect evening work music.
Do you use Last.fm and Pandora or just Pandora?
I use Pandora right now. But I want to try last.fm. that's it. I'm going now.
www.pandora.com
www.last.fm
bugs!
They're both great: I find the I use the neighbour, or the friend, radio on Last.fm when I want to hear music I know but may not have dug out for a while, and I use Pandora when I'm in more of a mood for hearing new music of a genre I get to outline.
Whoops - forgot to mention the radio feature of Last.fm is a subscriber feature (I think its $US9 for 3 months, maybe bit more)
And if you use Pandora and Last.fm make sure you also find OpenPandora - it enables the songs you listen to in Pandora to be passed to your Last.fm listening history (which in itself I find a great feature, for me to track my own listening: http://www.last.fm/user/andrewpascoe
My only problem with pandora sometimes is the level of crap music
I find generally its pretty good - but I've got quite a few stations for different moods/settings etc, that i've spent a reasonablt amount of time fine-tuning. i've found its definitely better to give a thumbs down to a borderline track then let it slip by - ruthless, but necessary
btw: love your blog andrew.
ah, cheers marty. i fear it's suffering the "not enough time to do enough analysis so posts are just becoming news dumps", but thems the breaks
that's ok.. i think it's better to be saying something slightly informative than a fantastically analysed nothing.
very true, very true
hmm... very insightful
just don't take that fateful step and blog about not blogging
Hha - thats a killer that I've half-fallen into once or twice back in the early days. I hate reading those posts from ppl, yet somehow I succumbed to it too back then
