Where to listen...

Before we get started, I'd like to recommend visiting www.grooveshark.com to listen to any music mentioned in this blog.

I know there are a lot of Pandora fans out there and while I think Pandora is neat, Groove Shark is a million times better.

Why?

Because Groove Shark actually lets you search their library of millions of songs to build a specific playlist of your own selected songs. You don't just pick an artist or song that you like and let Pandora build a playlist for you.

Additionally, if you're tired of picking out songs for your own playlist, you can tell Groove Shark to add new music based on your playlist. So just like I said, a lot like Pandora... only better. You can save your playlists and they also have radio stations of their own.

Check it out!

And we're back...

I started this blog a while ago because I wanted to write about some of the songs that came up when I listened to my iPod on shuffle. The wonderful thing about having a 160 GB iPod is that you can load the majority of your music collection on it. The terrible thing about having a 160 GB iPod is that it holds more music that you'll ever wind up listening to.

This project proved too time consuming and I quickly ran though songs I thought were worthy of review, so I'm trying something different.

From now on, Jon's Daily Song will feature a weekly album, and each day of the week will focus on a specific song from this album (as appropriate). This inspiration came from my morning walks where I like to search through my iPod and listen to a complete album during my hour-long constitutional. I've got an eclectic list of albums to feature so far and although this blog is mostly written for my own enjoyment, I hope it helps introduce you to some new music that you enjoy.
