Discovery

Music has, and always will, have a strong influence on my life.  I've spent years playing instruments and listening to my sister's music.  Not only is there music that I've been loving for years, I'm always in the mood to listen to new artists and groups that are just coming onto the scene.  To do that is usually really hard because I have to look for sites that will list new music on the rise.  I've been to myspace, which is pretty cool considering I can listen to any song without having to pay for it, but getting past the initial tackiness of myspace is a daunting process.  However, I've discovered a new way to find new music.  Pandora.com asks you what your favorite artist is.  You type it in and then all of a sudden, a whole string of songs pops up, usually starting with the artist that you chose.  The only downside to this is the fact that you can't skip songs too often.  I've come to realize that when listening to new music, it's hard for me to just listen to full songs.  I usually listen to part, and then listen to a new one.  So this is a hardship I'm just going to have to deal with.  They match songs that have similar rhythms, acoustic styles, and harmonies.  I'm sure it does more than that, but I'm not certain about the specifics.  If you are in the mood to listen to a whole new slew of songs, check this out.  You can honestly sit there for hours listening to the specific station this website has made for you.
