Okay, this is absolutely one of the COOLEST new things I have found on the internet in a long time. Pandora.com is an online radio station, but its also a "musical genome project".
What you do is go to the website. You'll be prompted to enter a name of one of your favorite artists upon which pandora.com will build a "personalized" radio station featuring artists/songs from the same and/or similar genre or "music genome" to listen to. Its "personalized" - but from what I've found so far, an AWESOME way to discover new bands that are similar to your tastes.
So.. who did you enter? And what are some cool new bands/artists you discovered through pandora?
I put in one of my alltime favorite DJ's, and also an alias I use when signing bullshit forms - John Digweed.
So far I've gotten artists I'm mostly familiar with but here's a look at how my chain has gone so far - the ones in bold I have not heard before:
John Digweed-->Way Out West-->Sleeper Their-->16 bit Lolitas-->John Digweed-->Josh Wink
I'm familiar with most of these artists, as would most electronic fans who knew their shit(like John in CO)..
Also features stations by genre, friends list, whats on now, etc.
Pretty fuckin cool. Post some cool artists you discovered that you think the rest of us might enjoy.
