Musical Crumbs

Okay... feel free to chastise Inkblot for having gone missing for a week! She does love you all, she just got all caught up in HP's latest book, the five day loss of her laptop (I suppose her mother borrowing it isn't exactly a loss...), and her feverishness several days ago. But now, Inkblot is back! And she's totally ready to share with you a mild obsession called Pandora. This site is as awesome as it gets without paying money. You just sign up (they send occasional emails pertaining to your Pandora use, but nothing else) and start listening to their unique radio stations. The way Pandora works is crazy awesome! You type in the name of a song or artist that you LOVE, and Pandora creates a radio station based on that song or artist and other songs and artists similar to them. You can create unlimited stations and add/remove songs and artists from your stations. Even better, Pandora learns from you! You can press a button as a song plays to tell it to stop playing that song or to never play that song again. Same with the artist. In this manner, it is totally customizable! And you can listen as much or as little as you like. It's on the internet, not a downloadable program, so you are totally safe and can use your account from any computer without having to set everything up again. It remembers all your stations and preferences, too. Basically, if you adore music, you'll adore Pandora. Inkblot has found countless new bands and tons of awesomeness... though she has been a bit less productive lately (you are totally right, Kate!). So check out Pandora Internet Radio as soon as you can!! And let all the rest of us know about the exciting bands you've found! Much love,
Inkblot
