Whenever I am home from school for however long, my brother finds it necessary to offer helpful advice about the college scene, make snide comments about college life in general, or bring to my attention certain pearls of wisdom that he has recently uncovered. Fondly remembering college, he often sarcastically comments on my sleeping habits and those of college age students. (Although I really can't imagine why...over break I woke up after two p.m. only twice) Or sometimes he offers useful and innovative advice such as: "Shower regularly; you don't want to be known as that dirty kid on campus." He truly is such a helpful big brother sometimes. And, occasionally, he will tell some wild tale about him and his friends in college, intending to teach a lesson (although sometimes the message of the story gets lost...). My brother and I are fourteen years apart, but that has never stopped us from forming a close relationship. Even if I do have to endure teasing and sarcasm whenever I am with him.
When I was home for Spring Break, my brother decided to be seriously helpful instead of funny and embarrassing. He told me about a new website; I checked it out, and it actually was pretty entertaining. The website is www.pandora.com and it is a radio website where you type in an artist that you like. Then, the radio makes a playlist of that artist and a bunch of others that are similiar to the one you typed. So far, I really like it. Sometimes I get really bored with the music in my itunes and just want a change. This is a pretty good website to use if you want some new music. I thought it was some new and amazing discovery, but after asking my friends about it I found that some of them already use it. Try it out! Hopefully you can find some good stuff. I guess my brother isn't all bad...

Yea, Pandora is neat. The problem I have with it is that the audio quality is terrible, so I don't go there much. But thats probably not a concern for most people. There are many music content sites out there but two that I use occasionally are http://www.imeem.com/ (social music network) and
http://www.filtermusic.net/ (internet radio list). I'd also suggest talking a look at http://www.last.fm/
I remember Pandora being awesome, I think I first heard about it a few years ago. But I refused to pay for it so I had to listen to the commercials. Now I go to www.slacker.com - you can listen for free and pick a station that is 24/7 streaming music. Registration is free and once you do that you can make your own stations. You pick the artist, and it will give a list of other artists people have picked based on that one.
I love it and listen to it at work, I've actually made a play list titled "Annoy Alex" whom I share an office with. But this website has everything and very good quality. You can also buy a nifty device, it only cost half your soul, and listen to it in your car.
This site sounds pretty cool. The only thing that would be annoying is the sound quality, which on ITunes, there is no sound quality issues at all. I did eventually check it out for a few hours and discovered that I did enjoy it, but still prefer the ITunes over it because better quality. Obviously since you are paying for ITunes, there are going to be no issues with quality or sound at all.
I enjoy pandora.com a lot. I use it at work mostly to help the day go past quicker. I don't have a problem with the sound quality and I don't pay for it either. Your brother did the right thing by introducing you to pandora.com because sometimes they're music on pandora.com that you forgot about or didn't know exsisted.
Cool. I didn't know about this. Thanks.
