pandora

Hi Bloggy Buddies, 
I just have to share with y'all my new favorite thing...it's really not all that new, but I've recently become really into it:) Pandora is free internet radio and it. is. so. cool. 

You create your very own radio station that only plays stuff you like. You tell it which bands and artists you enjoy and it plays them as well as other similar stuff. For example, if I put in The Fray, it might also play Snow Patrol, or if I put in Eric Clapton, it might also play BB King. So, it introduces me to new music and a lot of times it also plays stuff that I've heard and I like, but I don't know who it is. 

You can skip songs that you don't like, and they won't play them anymore, but that rarely happens, because pandora is smart:) Also, when you hear a song that you really like, you can tag it to remember what it is, or click right on over to amazon and buy the mp3. 

It is fun! If you don't already have a pandora station, you should make one:)

Since we're talkin' music...here are a few of my current faves: 
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals
Coldplay
Robert Randolph and the Family Band
The Fray
Natalie Grant
Danny Gokey
Kris Allen

Who are your current faves? Maybe I'll add them to my pandora station:)

music builds

Several weeks ago Keith and I got to go to an amazing concert. In our early days of dating and marriage we went to concerts fairly often; we got lots of freebies and good deals because of Keith working with music at the campus store. Keith's love of music has rubbed off on me, made me appreciate it more, and changed my preferences. Over the past couple of years we haven't gone to as many concerts, so it was a fun throw back for us and it was extra fun because it was some of our very favorite bands coming together to support and raise money for habitat for humanity! We had seen all four of them on their own before, and we were excited because all four played better than ever. Anyone who thinks Christian music isn't quality should have been there...they were very talented and it was FUN! You couldn't help but have fun with Keith, especially during RRand the FB!
