If you love music and you've never tried Last.fm you should, it's a music site that tracks what it's users are listening to on their Itunes and Ipod, and using that data provides amazing musical discoveries. To me, this is Web 2.0 at it's finest, taking masses of data and with it giving their users back a gift. Below I've embedded a "channel" that is based on similar artists to Sufjan Stevens, one of my favorites. Click to play it, realizing that the tracks it plays are considered similar to Sufjan based on the tracks other Last.fm users are playing. I find their recommendations to be super accurate, and I've discovered at least 15 bands using different channels. Of course Sufjan may not be your cup of tea, and that's great, you can listen to a "Music like Yanni" or "Music like The Pixies" channel too. Viva la Internet!
