Pandora Is An Amazing Little Thing-y

Oh thing-ys. They can be a real hoot. Mostly I enjoy thing-ys that are user friendly and offer services you didn't even know you were dying for. Pandora is a music play list making thing-y and it's great. You put a band or artist in and it suggests other bands/artists you would be into. It's not a hundred percent of course. (Arcade Fire leads incongruously to Jimmy Eat World.) But sometimes it's really interesting.

I'm well into my second hour of a playlist springing from Jens Lekman. It's included The Sea and Cake, Antony and the Johnsons, Saturday Looks Good To Me, and a number of bands I'd never heard of. Check it Out
