Someone Else to Whistle While You Work

If you’re like me, listening to music while you work helps spark creativity and makes the work day seem more enjoyable and laid back. On that topic, I just wanted to make a couple of quick web site recommendations.

For online radio, you just can’t beat pandora.com in my opinion. Just enter artists and albums that you like and it starts playing music. As you listen and give songs a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” Pandora adjusts the playlist to better match other users who have the same opinions about music as you. Before you know it, you have a radio station that only plays good songs.

We’re not always in front of a computer, though, so we need a good resource to fill the old iPod. I recently rediscovered lala.com. It’s been around for awhile but some recent feature updates have made it one of my favorites. I won’t go into detail. Just check it out.
