Blackfox Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Revision time is here, so for thousands of kids around the UK it means one thing - spending half your time on your PC in a vain attempt to fend off boredom and doing any real work. In this rut? Try this: http://www.pandora.com (Best viewed in IE). This was recommended to me by Mike, admin of Woosel, and I've been giving it a whirl - some pretty good tunes have this eminated from my computer's speakers thus far. Note: This wont help revision, might stave off the boredom though
The fish Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Looks cool, it's a nice idea too. I may use this tommorow while revising...
James Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Pleasantly impressed by it, some good tunes from unheard bands. A US zip code if you registering 14513
Platty Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I tell you whats also very good if you go to http://www.nme.com and listen to NME radio... no adverts just non stop quality music.
Dan_Dare Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I fucking hate that magazine. I'm hesitant to let their website foul the waters of my beutiful computer.... on another note: Pandora seems cool but it just handed me some american highway rock. shit.
mario114 Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Very cool even cooler it lets you buy the music from itunes.
Dan_Dare Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Ok Pandora just picked up. after a splash of 'thieves like us' from New Order (class!) it sent me a bit of a band called 'Vapours'. some kind of electro outfit. ace. I typed in Talking Heads as my starting point.
Ramar Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I tell you whats also very good if you go to http://www.nme.com and listen to NME radio... no adverts just non stop quality music. NME.. quality music.. *faints*
Bluejay Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Great site but as old as Jesus. Good of you to spread the word to those unintiated to the joys of Pandora though.
Jack Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Pandora keeps trying to recommend Dinosaur Jr to me. It's obviously total shit.
Shorty Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I've been using this for a long time, it's pretty good. People criticising it should realise its made mostly from other people's responses. If the majority of people who like your favourite band also like x, x is suggested to you. It's quite simple and usually works. The site's pretty old though, hardly a revelation
DiemetriX Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I like it. But It's hard to make a list which only plays the music i like >_<
Tom Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 i use last.fm to find new music, but i'll give this a go and see whats its like. if anyone wants to try last.fm, just click my sig.
mario114 Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I like it. But It's hard to make a list which only plays the music i like >_< I put snow patrol in and it seems quite good so far.
Tom Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 so far I have tried The Mars Volta, and it's given me 4 mars volta tracks, 1 An Albatross track (NB - these guys are amazing, i saw them this weekend, and am going to see them again on monday, anyone in birmingham on monday should go!), 1 wolfmother track, and so far only one track from an artist I didn't already like, GoGoGo Airheart. But, since i liked the track, pandora has suceeded. go pandora!
Mundi Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Haha, awesome, they have Behomoth...\m/ \m/ heh i was even more amazed when they had Dir en grey
The Bard Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Argh...I spelt Behemoth wrong... Aanywho...Everything I've entered has lead me to....Manowar lol... "Heavy Metal Or No Metal At All Wimps And Posers Leave The Hall"
Mundi Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Aanywho...Everything I've entered has lead me to....Manowar lol... "Heavy Metal Or No Metal At All Wimps And Posers Leave The Hall" Just you saying that and you signature makes me want your babies :Þ
arab_freak Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I tried it 6 months ago, didn't look like something too special. :S
AshMat Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I put ion blibk182, it came up with "Down" By BLin182 as a similarity...
The Bard Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Just you saying that and your signature makes me want your babies :Þ Im good for that.... Nice to see that there are some genuine metal fans here though! \m/ And If we all were not all Brothers of Metal....Would we fall? NO! .
