The obligatory music category

A long time ago I put out a blog post about the Pandora music service. Years later, it is still here and I still use it just about every day.

I figured I’d kick off the music portion of this blog by first saying that I have a few bands that I like and a bunch that I can recognize a song that I like. Enter Pandora, I like it because I can simply enter the stuff I like and set up a Quick Mix and discover new stuff.

So I give you the ingredients of my Quick Mix (in Pandora’s display order, not particularly my chosen order):

  • Pearl Jam Radio
  • Radiohead Radio
  • The Strokes Radio
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers Radio
  • Weezer Radio
  • The Killers Radio
  • Nirvana Radio

That list has pretty much remained unchanged for quite a while. Sometimes I’ll through something totally different for some interesting results. I’ve often thrown in some Classical (Stravnisky), Country (George Strait), and some Fugees for a little jazz-rap feel.
