In Metal Gear Solid, the Human Genome Project, a real-life project that mapped the entire human genome for medical research, was used to create a race of perfect soldiers. Similarly, the Music Genome Project has created the perfect radio station for every person, a user-friendly, accurate, free internet radio service called Pandora.
This may be old news to most if not all of you, but I just discovered Pandora after my girlfriend suggested it, and have been absolutely blown away. I simply entered my favorite band (Radiohead), and Pandora's box was opened. However, instead of unleashing chaos about the world, it released awesome music that I absolutely loved. Several of my favorite bands were played right away. Songs and B sides only released on special edition EPs popped up, songs by my favorite bands I never even knew existed. I decided to start another station to satisfy my symphonic metal cravings, deciding to start with Kamelot, a band I've recently taken a liking to. Immediately afterward played Nightwish and Symphony X, two of my other favorite bands.
I honestly can't begin to believe how amazing this website is! Sure it's old news, but like the Human Genome Project, I feel this is a major step forward for the music world, and a great way for obscure bands to gain recognition. It's a perfect solution to the radio-station blues and the best internet radio service I've ever seen. Go ahead,
open Pandora's box. I'm sure you'll love it.
Once again, I'm sure many of you have already known about Pandora for ages, but if you're like me and haven't, I highly recommend you give it a try immediately. You won't be disappointed.
