Here’s some sites I discovered or re-discovered lately:

Switch from pandora to last.fm. I started to feel like pandora was turning all my different “seeded” stations into identical stations as I rated the songs. Also some recommended songs were coming from “left field”; to the point that I started to wonder if there was some payola happening. It’s still a great app and I use it on my ipod in my car – or at least until last.fm gets their app working on the latest iphone rev. Seems like last.fm has more variety and you have the option of only using groups in your library or you can use ones in neighborhood. Also you can select an actual song, if you want to listen to it as a “one off”.

Favtape – is copy of Muxtape before it got shut down. It has some nice features like playlists based on music charts or last.fm. Not sure how long this will last with the RIAA.

livestation – Great idea and not sure how they keep this legal, but I’m not complaining. It’s not going to replace SlingBox or Orb, but it’s still pretty good. I’m still waiting for all my old Denver stations to be on there, so I can watch sports.

Gigposters – If you’ve ever admired the artwork publicizing concerts, check this site out. They can also be used to make good pc desktops.

Phish – Yes, they’re back.
