Oh, man, I keep forgetting to share the coolest website with all of you:

www.pandora.com

This is the greatest online radio station I’ve ever found, and believe me, I’ve been looking for one for awhile now.  For those of you who have a desk job, I’ve found a very cool way to listen to music while at work.  I get sick of lugging cds or my ipod and speakers back and forth to work, and this website is a great solution when I need to drown out background chatter or I just need a little pep in my step.  I adore it, and every person I’ve recommended it to loves it, too.  You can make up all your own music stations, by picking an artist you like or even a song you like.  For instance, I have a station labeled “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and it plays all sorts of fun 80s songs.  It will pick other songs or artists at random who are similar to the artist/song on the station you created.  Even though I have a Rolling Stones station and a Who station, I get different songs on each station.  I’ve got all sorts of radio stations myself – everything from Aretha Franklin to Rush to The Beatles.  Pandora is so much fun, and unlike other online radio stations, for now at least, it has NO COMMERCIALS! 

While technology is always changing, even in the ways in which we get our music, sometimes, I wish we were back to albums again.  I miss listening to albums and going to live concerts so much.  But at least I have a way to listen to music now that isn’t on the radio.
