Online music radio

Hello! Okay, so I'm excited that this is my first post EVER. There should be like celebrations in the streets. It took me a few days to get a post up because somehow my blog was locked due to how blogger thought I was a spam blog. Nope, not this cute stuff.
Lately, I have become obsessed with an online radio station. If any music junkies like me are getting sick or bored of their same old music, try pandora!
Just go to pandora.com and sign up. Once you become a member, you can put in your favorite artist and it'll make a station out of that artists and similar artists that sound like them. My first station, of course, was Beatles radio. It gave me such artists as Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Queen, Cream, and the Doors. I also made stations for the Doors, Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, and the Who.
The other way to add stations is to go looking through the different generes. I picked classic rock, electric blues, and indie/alt. My FAVORITE station, however, is one that I share with my brother Matt. It's a rock n' roll station that plays all of this obscure music from like the 60's and stuff. There's lots of Velvet Underground. When you share a station, you can take it over as your own or keep it shared, which I did. It's cool because my brother picked some of the music that plays.
When you create any station, you can vote if you like it and it'll play that artist and similiar artists to that. If you don't like it, it won't play that SONG again.
Now it's terrible because I can't stop listening to it and my musical tastes are becoming more expansive than they were.
Go check it out at www.pandora.com
It's so much fun!
