It has been a while, so a little rewind: Pandora is a great site. Create your own "radio station" of new and old music based on your personal tastes, and provide feedback as you go as to what songs you like and don't like, thus educating Pandora about your aesthetic. Brilliant. I've done this a couple times before, but I'd like to keep it going, because I'm constantly astounded by the amount of great tunes out there from artists I've never heard of before.

Again, I'll only post bands/artists that I've never heard of, but am glad to have found. And in some cases, bands that I've long forgotten. You can't hear the whole song by following these links, but if you like what you hear, you can start a new station based on the song. Then you can hear the whole thing, and Pandora will then play songs that it thinks are complimentary. "Grade" the songs as they come to train Pandora.

Etc.

So here are my latest gems:

• Sixty Second Interval, by The Vapors (I'm a sucker for great bass lines.)
• Simplify, by The Kingsbury Manx
• Unsatisfied, by Nine Black Alps
• Along the Way, by PT Walkley
• My Own Good, by Luis
• Everything'll Be Alright, by Joshua Radin
• Dark As Days, by Army Navy
• My Love, by The Czars
• Pinback, by Syracuse
