I ran across this site today, as I was looking for some music to listen to at work. I was pretty impressed with how the site works, it appears to be in it’s infancy still, but has some potential for those who want to listen to music online.

I have not signed up yet, just using there on-site (no profile) version. Simply, you can build radio station themes, based on an artist you feed it. For example, I created a station called easy listening, it asked me for a song/band to start from; I entered “sister hazel”, it found a couple of songs playing online by them, seamlessly adds them to my list to be played and from that point starts to look for like music and ads it to my list.

Once signed in and profiled you have the ability to share your lists with friends and such.

It deserves a look, even if only to poke at it. The interface works pretty well.

An interesting rendition of a classic “Denver” song, I know very little about the artist, so you get a fun fact about the original. If anyone has some info on this singer post it in comments, or don’t… either way.

‘Leaving on a Jet Plane’ is a song written by John Denver in 1967 during a layover at an airport in Washington and recorded by the Mitchell Trio that year. The original title of the song was ‘Oh Babe I Hate To Go’ but Denver’s then producer, Milt Okun, convinced him to change the title.

Ok,.. had to update it, Chantal Kreviazuk, so ya.. I beat the internet go me!  Hell, you even get a video and yes it starts with the Armegeddon clip.

Ya, this is way off the mark for me, but I like the guy what can I say. His music was introduced to me a few years back while I was in Hawaii on vacation visiting family of the girl I was dating. A very talented performer, one of those guys you look at and would not expect the voice that comes out of him. He passed away a while back, it was sad, but he lived a good life.

This is one of those classic songs that he did a great rendition of, so enjoy.

I like this band,.. they have some of the best vocals I’ve heard in a while. It is one of the few that you can listen to the CD or them live and you get the exact same song. This track is pretty mainstream, and I’m sure over the next few months I’ll end up posting more from them, as most of the CD is really good. Enjoy.
