Pandora ++

I have a musical wishlist a mile long; some of it is more well known stuff, like U2's new album "No Line on the Horizon", and the rest of the "Across the Universe" soundtrack. But a lot of the names and songs I have written down are more obscure, and not commonly known. How did I find them? Why, through the magical web genious of Pandora, of course. I know Pandora's been around for awhile, but not very many people seem to use it. I *highly* suggest you do... it's amazing. You enter a band, artist, or song that you like, and it matches that with other artists and puts together a personalized "radio" playlist for you. I don't have the moolah to buy the music yet, so I listen on Pandora. Try it out! It's simple, free, and great for school work. www.pandora.com

Some of the artists or groups on my wishlist (let me know if you know them!):

Punch
Armando Trovajoll
Sean Lennon
Wilco
Badly Drawn Boy
Opa
The Easybeats
Belle & Sebastian
Anders Parker
Ron Sexsmith
Josh Rouse
Amos Lee
The Reindeer Section
Tracy Chapman
Kings of Convienience
Dan Reeder

These are all either jazz artists or indie... if you like either of those, check out those artists! Try making a Pandora station out of them. :)

On another musical note, try to find Dave Matthew's new single "Funny the Way it Is". If you can't find it on Pandora, I'm sure there's somewhere on the web you can listen. It's very, very good. I'm excited for their new album coming out in June!

This weekend was *amazing*...spent up in the Mojave at the Horton's lake for Tucker's graduation party. Four-wheeling, innertubbing, cards, Bill and Ted's, swimming, laughing. It was greatness. I figured out how to work a manual 350 all on my own! ^^
