A fascinating aethernet service, Pandora Radio, allows one to fashion a customized musical station according to ones preferences. One simply needs to seed the station with a selection of songs or artists and their “Music Genome Project” matches similar works based on a vast variety of descriptive criteria.
Here is a link to the “Steampunk” station I created. It is seeded with the following artists with the advice and suggestions of several of my acquaintances and friends on plurk:
- Abney Park
- Beats Antique
- Evanescence
- Ghoultown
- Lacuna Coil
- Muse
- The Cruxshadows
- The Dresden Dolls
- The Klezmatics
- Vagabond Opera
- Voltaire
- Within Temptation
Several other worthy artists were also recommended, but alas Pandora did not yet have them in their libraries.
