My New Music Discovery


Apparently I am extremely behind on the Internet's capabilities. After receiving some extremely generous iTunes giftcards, I am newly obsessed with the growing music compilation on my computer. However, I can never create sufficient playlists of the same types of music.

So, of course, when confused, I allowed myself to Google and find an answer. And what do I find but.. Internet Radio! 

I was so confused yet fascinated. How can there be an Internet Radio and how successful would it be? I was directed to Pandora, a free Internet site that uses the Music Genome Project to create personal playlists. You type in a favorite song or artist, and the site creates a playlist of songs that have common characteristics as the one you searched. After typing in Jack Johnson, the site gave me a complete looping playlist of acoustic chill music that is from artists like Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Matt Nathanson, and others. I am absolutely amazed by the quality of the music and the convenience of the site. 

After talking to some of my other friends, apparently they already knew about Internet Radio! However, although it is evident that I am way behind on my new discovery, I remain dumbfounded.. and completely obsessed!
