The Nati

I blogged about Pandora last week. It's a cool site (less directly customizable than lala.com), but it allows you to create stations. Those stations then generate music based on the music genome project that does a very good job of finding other artists (some you have heard of, some you haven't) that are similar in style to those that you like.

You can also share out playlists from that site. I have created a 'Quick Mix' based on about 2 dozen artists I like. You can then listen to this station for a sample of the type of music I supposedly like. As I mentioned, as opposed to Lala.com that allows you to pick out specific artists and specific songs for a radio playlist, the Pandora playlist is 'computer' generated.

Check out my Pandora Quick Mix here... make your own and send it over to me!

Cool website that my buddy Jared pointed me to, called Pandora. It's a product of the Music Genome Project that has 'mapped' out music according to "melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony."

At the site you insert the name of a band or artist, and it plays music from that artist as well as 'like' artists. It's not dissimilar from other products out there like MSN and Yahoo music. However, it does seem to be better at suggesting 'like' artists. it's a great new way to find music... check it out.
