Check out Pandora for Great Tunes

Sorry, folks, but there won't be a tune this week. Just not up to it and far too busy.

However...I DO have a cool recommendation to give you. Have you checked out Pandora?

Ever since Yahoo! Music dropped their "radio station" service entirely (without a word!), I hopped on over to my wife's favorite free (yes, I said FREE!) Internet music player, Pandora.

The cool thing about Pandora is that you can set up a "station" around a genre of music, a single band, or even a favorite song. In my case, I like making stations around certain bands.

So, if you've got a station named after Iron Maiden, you'll get Maiden tunes as well as from similar bands like Judas Priest, etc. It's really pretty cool. It's got something to do with a human behavior study. I haven't read about it due to lack of time, but the dang thing's free.

So go out there and give 'em a try!

Until next week,
The Educated Fool

Thanks for the Pandora tip, bud. I've been having fun with it.

I'm glad you've found a use for it. I do make use of the "Don't play again in a month" feature, though, because they'll play the same stuff pretty often. I do like listening stuff based on a certain band. It's a lot of fun.

Hope you guys are well.
