For Music Lovers (Or Music Likers)

I hate keeping my favorite websites to myself and I thought I'd share this one with anyone who knows me well enough to visit this blog. Pandora is a website designed specifically to help you discover and enjoy music that you will like.

Some crazy scientific music lovers started something called the Music Genome Project in which they have come up with over 400 attributes to describe songs and a complex mathematical algorithm to organize them into "genomes". To create a song's genome, a musician working with the project spends 20 to 30 minutes analyzing each song. Basically, you go to Pandora.com, type in the name of your favorite song or artist, and they use their information to create an "internet radio station" with music that fits the same "genetic description" of the music that you already like. It's awesome.

Type in "Mika" and see what happens. Then try "David Crowder Band". It's a great way to discover new music that fits your exact personal prefernce!
