No, this isn’t a post about a certain fat cat I happen to know. It’s about the coolest thing on the internet I’ve seen in a long, long time. Pandora is part of the Music Genome Project. You start off giving it one or two (or 6 in my case) artists that you like and it then matches up other artists, many you probably haven’t heard of, to create a station that is uniquely yours.
I started out with Old 97’s and I just got done listening to Jf Robitaille, whoever the hell that is. You train the stations by telling it which songs you do like and which ones you don’t. In the end, you’ve got a pretty kick ass little personal jukebox.
I’m addicted and I’m looking into toys that play nice with Pandora, making it possible to take it with you, broadcast it over your sound system and other cool stuff. You should definitely check it out.
