Why I Love Pandora...

So like most people I have an MP3 device of some sort (in my case I have an IPhone), but every now and then my playlists gets a little boring, and you can't really depend on most radio stations because many of them just give you the same playlists time after time. Not sure about you, but I like to have my music on demand, and in most cases, I like to be able to go from genre to genre as my music tastes don't truly reside with one style.

Thank God for Pandora! Where can I just set a playlists from my favorite artists or album and just let it play. Its like those old infomercials used to say..."Set It and Forget It." Just today while I having been relaxing on this fine Memorial Day Holiday, I have just let the Pandora music list play. Right now I have on the old classic Biz Markie playlist, and who doesn't love the Biz right? The man is a genius so you can imagine what his playlist on Pandora will bring you, and if you can't quite imagine it, then see what my Biz Playlist has played for me in the last few minutes:

• Biz Markie - "Friends"
• LL Cool J - "The Boomin' System"
• Beastie Boyz - "Check it Out"
• Special Ed - "I Got It Made"
• Biz Markie - A One Two
• A Tribe Called Quest - "Lyrics to Go"

Plenty of days I am at work and just need to chill out, as sometimes the stresses of an Interactive Marketing Specialist get to me, but when that happens, I know its time to hit up the Pandora, and go to that happy place.

Pandora also gives me the ability to explore my different music tastes without putting a huge dent in my wallet. Lately I have had the urge to reach outside of my norm and try a few different playlists, and with good results I must say, and as a result, I am officially a fan of Queen now. Yeah you heard it, Jerm likes Queen, and how can you not with classics like: "Bohemian Rhapsody, Princes of the Universe, Another One Bites the Dust, and Under Pressure, just to name a few. Can't say that previously I would have discovered Queen while riding down the street with windows down with the Classic Rock station baring.

So in short, thank you to the people over at the Music Genome Project for enriching my life with this service and allowing me to be a more well rounded music lover.
