01.22.2006 :: Aay is what Fonzie says
cause he is very cool.
Just like this site: Pandora
I'm not a very big fan of the music that is played on the radio. So, I spend a lot of time listening to my old favorites and a few new favorites, but there is a distinct lack of variety in my musical library.
The Pandora site is like Fonzie because you can put in a favorite song and it will create a "station" of songs with a similar sound.
Amazing - the list made from one favorite song, included another favorite song that it picked based on my preference. It makes sense - but it's cool anyway! Here's a station that I made. A, the source song is "A" by BNL.
A, BNL = A Thousand Miles, Vanessa Carlton (yes, I really like this song - it's great for singing in the car)
These Apples, BNL = Growin Up, Bruce Springsteen
Speak Like a Child, The Style Council = Walking on the Sun, Smashmouth
Ok - one more thing. Does anyone remember the firefly music site? It may have been built by MIT students? It was on the internet in about 1996 and it was similar to pandora in that it would relate musical styles. I always missed that site! (I'm not the only one, I guess)

My brothers told me about that site, but I have yet to fully explore it - Love that "A" song by BNL!

You know, you freak me out when you change the site without warning. ;)
Thanks for this link. It is perfect for me.
On the 'net in '96? Um, only because Pete insisted. The boys were 3 and 1 and Pete brought home a computer saying, "you have to check this out." Yeah, he actually encouraged me to get online. It took me another year to start exploring.
Man, he's regretted that move ever since!
