pandora.com

A while ago, a stranger friend I met online gave me an online radio site called Pandora (http://www.pandora.com/). It calls itself the Music Genome Project, whatever that means, and all you have to do is get an account, type in what music you like, and it will play a lot of similar style of music for you. It's a great place to find out all sorts of never-heard-of artists. You can skip the ones you don't like, and buy the ones you like. It's great that it gave me a wider perspective of music, and led me to many other artists that I came to like. And of course, this site was a great friend during those boring working hours.
