Some Noteworthy Music

I like music, as many do, and here are some of my picks from kinda-got-lost-in-the-pile collection. (Links to iTunes Store USA.)

  • Electronic/dance genre helps to stay awake on occasions working all night. Some vocals are great too from this indie album; check out this track:
    Sally Shapiro - My Guilty Pleasure: Looking At The Stars

  • Here is another electric shock for you!
    Goose - Bring It On: Bring It On Down

  • Michelle Branch goes country:
    Michelle Branch - Sooner or Later - Single: Sooner or Later

  • My favorite genre is actually Jazz. This is a great album for a great deal:
    Nat Adderley - Autobiography

Enjoy!

Pandora Radio - Free & Clean Online Radio

Many may already know, but I recently discovered a cool Internet radio station. It's "my station"!

Ok, so what this is is...
Pandora Radio has a huge database of music from all genre which each music is carefully analyzied by "The Music Genome Project". This database is then used to find music of your preference. "Doesn't sound anything new", you say?

True, other music services usually has "recommendation" features, but this analysis is beyond genre, artist names or the looks of the band. Also, it's very quick to get started. Just search one song by an artist name and it will start to play music from various artists like a radio station. Then you can give "thumbs up" to selections that you liked. Another great thing is, you can create as many "stations" as you like. So the music selection is NOT from all of your favorite songs mixed together, but you can create different flavors of your preference. You might like country and alternatives, but that doesn't mean you want to listen to both mixed together all the time, right?

Pandora has a very simple and clean interface. I find the selections by Pandora very appealing and helps me find artists that I did not know, yet sounds that matches my taste. Give it a try, or listen to my stations!
