Hey, if you're cleaning your house today and thinking, wow, if I only had some awesome music to listen too (and your iPod is dead) - I have the answer to your prayers.There is this site called Pandora that is magic and you will love it. Say you feel like listening to something like Cake. You type in Cake and they give you all kinds of great music kind of like Cake (I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooooooong jacket).
It is the music genome website - you can type in Weezer and get some Weezer, then some They Might Be Giants, some Green Day, some random British punks. You can put in Lenka and get the cutest happy girly music you could ever hope for.
AND IT IS FREE. FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE. Becaue they think they are a radio station. But it is a million times better. A Million Billion Trillion.
So, if your working out and want something to run fast to, think of one song that gets your bum moving (I like Garbage) and this website will keep pumping out tunes until you are a sweaty heap at the end of the treadmill.
And say several music snobs you know have mentioned Tom Waits numerous times, but you've never really bothered to check him out? Type in the name and sit and scratch your head wondering, Whiskey Tango big deal?
It's brilliant. If you're too lazy to read up or ask people for suggestions, too poor to just buy music you don't LOVE, this is such a perfectly amazingly beautiful invention.
Did you get that I highly recommend this website? Yes. Pandora. Open the box right now, I dare you.
In conclusion, I hear there is a Pandora Application for the iPhone ... I might MIGHT now be sold. My iPod is kaput. Verizon, my contract with you is up next month ... I (as usual) am on the fence.

7 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
Mrs Roth, I have pandora for iPhone and it the fifth best thing that ever happened to me. Right after kids. It streams even when I'm driving around. Earplugs in, kid music out.
You are so evil! Now I am sooo paranoid. At least send me chocolates in the hospital when they have to amputate my feet:)
I'm coming over from Mormon Mommy Blogs, asking for your help. I am in the running for a round trip airfare paid ticket to Connecticut, to meet a friend I became acquainted with through blogging. She is a super fun person and is holding this contest. I entered a funny story titled "Grapejuice Floaties, Now Marry Me." The person whose story receives the most votes will win a trip to meet this generous lady, whom I'm hoping to meet. The voting ends Sunday evening. I am ahead for now but there is a story coming up from behind out of nowhere and I would so, so, appreciate your help. Her blog is www.becausemomsaidso.blogspot.com and the voting is on the sidebar on the right. "Grapejuice, Floaties" Just go there and cast a vote for me, please. Thanks so much-you're awesome! ♥♥
GET THE IPHONE...Pandora on it is way swanky. You don't live in boonie Burley anymore...the AT & T reception in Layton is AOK.
Besides doesn't Greg want one? You could do the family plan.
You could be blogging in line at the supermarket, at red lights, on the toilet...
so totally missing out.
Of course Greg wants one. It's all doo dads and gizmos! At his work Christmas party, when people heard I DIDN'T want/need an iPhone, they'd pull their iPhones out and start demonstrating various apps for me.
The combination of my iPod's untimely, unpublicized demise, the guilt I have for my now impotent iHome, and Pandora ... AND our verizon contract coming to an end - fate is pointing me a certain way.
And who am I to deny fate?
Susette - i read all the other entries (because I have to be fair and balanced and informed to vote)
and I'm happy to say, I will vote for you.
What a coincidence! I also like a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooooong jacket.
And now I love Pandora.
I hope it helps more people discover Aberfeldy and Ingrid Michaelson.
