Lately I've been listening to my favorite tunes and undiscovered ones (at least to me) on Pandora. If you haven't checked it out, you must! You create your own radio station based around your favorite music. Mine started with U2, my all-time favorite band, but has grown to include so much more.
Pandora started from a classification project in which songs' characteristics have been analyzed and classified. Once you give Pandora a favorite song or band, it finds songs that have similar characteristics and plays them for you.
What I love about Pandora is that as I have tuned my station to include more favorites, it has naturally selected songs that I had long forgotten but equally enjoy. I'm listening to my old standbys -- Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Blues Traveler, Matthew Sweet, Jewel, Coldplay, Train, Jack Johnson, Barenaked Ladies, R.E.M., (live), Dinosaur Jr. -- plus newer songs from Pearl Jam. I've also discovered Monte Montgomery, who admittedly caught my eye because his live album was recorded at the old Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth.
