I love Pandora! I know that it's been around for a while so I'm not quite sure how necessary my little shout out might be; perhaps it already is or has been the "hottest trend" and I, in my little hole, have not come to know it.
Nevertheless, I think it is amazingly wonderful in pairing music, better than iTunes genius or anything like that. You know when you feel to listening to that bluesy jazz or a kind of Yeah Yeah Yeahs-like rock but don't have the energy or creativity of dj-abilities to create the perfect playlist? No more, my dear reader.
Today, flipping through my Oedipus Rex required reading, sipping on Mountain Berry tea from Say Tea (Bloor Street West in Toronto - ggrreatt little granny's-home decor and feel with all the tea you could ever want - I could start a whole separate blog post... which I think I will ddooo), listening to my You Me and the Bourgeoisie radio, Pandora put on L.E.S. Artistes by Santigold (which used to be called Santogold). It's been a while since I heard a freshly great song since my remote sailing trip all over Mazury. I love its (at least according to my dainty ears) otherworldliness, quirkiness - Santi White's voice is so unique that I can't stop listening. It's still playing in my head, even as Pandora keeps on moving down the playlist.
Take a listen, tell me what you think, and seriously check out Pandora. It'll become your new best-friend-that-always-knows-to-play-the-best-song-at-that-perfect-moment.
