Pandora Radio

I've been discovering an incredible amount of amazing new music over the last week. A large part of that comes from swapping music with the other Berklee students (who I'm becoming convinced collectively possess all of the music in the world), but a lot of it is due to a little thing I've found called Pandora. You enter an artist that you love and it instantly creates a radio station with similar songs, and it's a brilliant way to discover new artists. The coolest thing about it is the way it works: it doesn't judge the songs it plays you by the band, genre or mainstream success. The Music Genome Project analyses each song's makeup and Pandora plays you songs based on elements of the music you've told it you like. It's like Last.fm only way better and minus the self-conscious nonsense of your top lists. Clever stuff, isn't it?

(Anyone outside the US will have to access it through this. Just select Pandora from the drop down box.)
