Pandora Radio.

[[Sweet]]

So, this is my first post on this blog (I can't say it's my first blog post ever since I unfortunately had one back in my younger years that was embarrassing to a monstrous extent) and of course I decided to make it about music.

I was first introduced to pandora radio by Hannah of Following the Muses and Katie of Artistical Thoughts several months ago and it wasn't until recently that I started really listening to it strictly because I was tired of hearing my younger brother's xBox shriek curse words and blare heart-racing music while he played his newest war game. Pandora has become a beautiful, wonderful addition to my completely drab life and I am glad to say that it usually selects music that I love, the most recent being nearly all of the music of Howard Shore, who created the soundtrack for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

However, the thing that is truly amazing about Pandora Radio is that it can match the kinds of music you like to the type of music played by the artist (or the type of song) that you put in at the beginning when the make a 'station'. My favorite station started with the song Kiss From A Rose by Seal and has grown further into a station that largely plays classical, new-age-type music that is both soothing and strong enough to drown out the strangely clever array of F-bombs coming from Battlefield: Bad Company II in the next room and Pandora Radio is simply one of the best things that has ever happened to me musically (other than getting my first guitar when I was ten) and it has introduced me to so much music that I never would have found on my own due to my own laziness among other things.
