I’m not sure about you, but I always listen to music when I work. It creates the mood.

If you and I alike, can’t afford to buy songs that last you a week without repeating “Superman” for at least 20 times (additional 1 more time if you watch Paul Twohill last night on TV), listening to radio is one option, it’s free anyway. :)

But when things get serious, and you need to crack your head for your one-million project, you wouldn’t want to listen to DJ’s jokes, song dedication messages, or some ads about big sales in town. I love DJ’s jokes btw, Daniel Ong is my favourite, but not when doing really serious stuff.

The alternative will be Pandora (I love this name). If you have not heard of it, it is okay, that is the reason why I am writing about this anyway. It was released some months back, and it has been indespensable for me.

Using Pandora is like playing your own radio station, you start creating a new station by entering an artist name or a song title (the one that you love). Then using a smart algorithm, it will play songs similar in tune, rythm, and groove with the artist/song title that you have just entered.

You can even vote if you like or hate the songs suggested, and it will remember, and the algorithm gets smarter I presume, coz I just fall in love with the station each day. And some unheard artists with songs of your taste may also pop up. Smart! Isn’t it?

If you have not tried it, go and check it out, start creating your own radio stations, the way you love it. And big thanks PANDORA!!
