Ever since Staff Day, I have been wanting to try Pandora, but have been too busy messing around with all these other "Things", and haven't gotten around to it. Fortunately, Pandora was a Web 2.0 nominee, so I am able to check it out here, at Station #19.
Pandora lets you type in an artist or song, and it will create a "radio station" based on that type of music. It's part of the Music Genome Project, which is awesome just for the name if for no other reason. It's very useful because quite often I'm too lazy to search for more music of the type that I like. For instance, I was starting to become tired of the CD I've been listening to endlessly lately, but wanted more music like it. Pandora is perfect for this. Also, it's nice to have an easy source of music for listening to at work (with earphones, of course) without having to drag around CDs, or even an MP3 player. Pretty cool.
I think this will help me return to my much more eclectic tastes in music. They have become more homogenized due to laziness. The downside is all those Toyota adds.
