Pandora is awesome.

If you like music and have an internet connection, you might want to check out Pandora. Enter an artist that you like, or even just a single song, and Pandora uses the "Music Genome Project"to play songs which are similar to the style of song or artist you picked. You can then rate the songs with a thumbs up or thumbs down (if you choose) and it adjusts the selection based on that. After a few hours of listening and rating songs, I find I can usually just sit back and enjoy.

Best of all, there are no commercials! Between Pandora and WXPN/YRock, I don't listen to broadcast radio anymore unless I have to. When I do listen to broadcast radio, it amazes me just how many commercials there are.

Feel free to check out some of my favorite Pandora stations on the right!
