Pandora

Chris's fraternity brother "Duke" emailed tonight with an entertaining link for streaming internet radio: http://www.pandora.com/

You log on, and select a musical group or song that you particularly enjoy. Then, Pandora creates a "radio station" that plays that artist and also others along that same vein that you may enjoy. It's a hit!

We've added a sidebar to the left on this very blog with our "stations". The electronic and distorted Nine Inch Nails, to independent and poppy R.E.M., to the cello of Yo-Yo Ma and friends, to the wispy and enchanting Cocteau Twins; all sorts of genres and moods are categorized for the playing.

Between the Bose Sound Dock for our iPods, and XM Lucy on the dish, and now Pandora...The House of Gordon will echo with fine music for hours on end.

Thanks for the tip, Duke!
