A friend pointed me to this : http://www.pandora.com/
They build a ‘virtual’ radio staition based on liking individual songs. It took my stated preference for ‘Thousand Kisses’ by Leonard Cohen a little too literally, and started playing Barry Manilow. I decided not to register(yet) , but playing with the application for a little while was fun. Since I listen to so little music, I like the idea of being able to explore the …. search space in this sort of way.

I checked this out and got similarly mixed results. I began by putting in my favorite band, The Indigo Girls. I got some good songs that I already knew I liked (Sheryl Crow, Jonatha Brooke), some good ones I hadn’t heard of before (Garrison Starr), and some bad ones that I wish I had still not heard (Steve Earle — alas that folk music has an overlapping appeal with Country!). Definitely a fun way to discover new music though — thanks for sharing!
