another problem solved!
Jan. 4th, 2006 03:05 pmduh! *facepalm smackhead* so a few days back, lamentation on not being able to get good radio in my cubicle. how could i forget? how could i possibly forget the self-controlled live-streaming custom-made-set-of-new-music-just-for-me that is http://pandora.com ?
thanks be to holmberg for first introducing me...i just had a major rememberance revelation at work.
not only do i get to sample some new things that may be good for me but, better than the current, i can pick my genre. or, more specifically, my own sound. type in a band and off it takes you to like-sounding, you-just-might-enjoy-this-based-on-your-imput landscapes. and, unlike a radio station, if you don't agree, you can skip songs what interest you not. and you can opt to take certain bands out of the running so you don't have to skip them again. at a click of the mouse, it will wiz you off to amazon or itunes elysium where selected songs may be purchased to be yours forever and ever. and no fucking djs or commercials.
i have found musical education. this is something i thank god for; i get right down on my knees in the dust and shit for this. the website came from heaven. dropped right out of god's ass, i'm tellin' ya.
(on a note to self: "franz ferdinand" brings up: we are scientists, the 88, neil finn, and a.c. newman. i dunno if i'd liken them to the boys, but i like all of these, i do.)
on a sour note, our new receptionist has the worst taste in perfumes. and re-applies it after every smoke break. did you know the human nose can detect one drop of perfume in a small house? her desk is ten feet from mine. and she uses more than a drop. i thank her for finding the few precious moments of my year that i don't usually have to suffer from allergies and making sure they are not left out of the loop.
on a sweet note, did you know tootsie pops come in blue raspberry? *euphoria*
