Favorite things- Online music

Remember when Pandora.com gave you this message after so much time enjoying its musical bounty? Did you cry? Did you sob? What a baby. Luckily in case you haven't heard there's a new kid on the block and his name is last.fm. It's similar enough to pandora that you will be gleeful, but different enough that you'll miss the super-simple pandora interface. Basics are the same, enter in who you want your music to sound like and it will recommend other artists. Sometimes you get surprises of music you already know and like coming on the radio (salt 'n' pepper-- or is that just me?).

Also, I have to give a little love to odeo.com I used it to post this past weekend's dance party. The selection is limited but if you ever want to listen to a podcast while on your computer without downloading it, it is the way to go. You can find the Savage Love podcast from the delightful Dan Savage who does the column of the same name -- Only in this case, people call in with their freaky questions, and sometimes he calls them back! It is darling. Speaking of which, his books are fantastic, not sleazy (depending if you're a prude) and very endearing. Go read them now.

Or sometimes, as shown below, youtubers just take a song they like slap up a picture and you're ready to go. I love you youtube the mostest. No video for it, just let the lyrics flow over you and learn a lesson about the gays of yore:
