Ladies!

Thanks to beatnikside, I just stumbled across a delightful video which combines two very delightful things: roller skating and Flight of the Conchords! If you're unacquainted with either one, I highly recommend both. :-)

Internet Radio is a Timemachine

Listening to Pandora Radio today, as I do every day, I was warped back in time to one of the first mp3s I ever "obtained" from a friend's Hotline server, "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States. Pandora is awesome.

Speaking of how awesome Pandora (and internet radio is), did you know that internet radio is on its way to being shut off? Why don't you save internet radio? It's so easy!

I buy a lot of music I hear on the internet (especially Pandora). In fact, Pandora is my music shopping list. What about you? Post a comment and let me and our readers know.

Pandora Suggests... Hillary Duff

I've got a "Cake" radio station on Pandora. It's pretty well stocked with good music that I like, maybe not all of it is exactly like Cake, but what are you gonna do? So imagine my surprise when this comes up:

Machines that (unwittingly) play music

Susan's dad is a MechE professor that has designed and built a pretty cool dynamometer which is so responsive that he can get it to play several different classical pieces (I've seen it in person!).

It looks like Pandora is getting a little bit more aggressive with it's ads. If it keeps high-quality music free, I'm all for it.

Santa Igor

Wow, I think I just heard the best song ever written.

Go listen to The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Suit from This American Life. Specifically, listen to the bit from 33:50 to 34:50. It's priceless.

Discover (our) Music

Pandora is a really cool service from the Music Genome Project which will play you almost any music you want, and then find similar music and play that for you too. And there's no commercials, just a few ads on the page (which certainally don't bother me considering what you're getting).

Think Gerry Salton meets Kid Rock. Information Retrieval + Rock and Roll is pretty cool

You can also browse other users' profiles, like mine to keep tabs on what people are listening to (even at that very moment!). It's a cool place to set up a music list too!
