Music Chains App

I want someone to create a web app like (or with) Last.fm or Pandora but that allows you to follow a stream-of-consiousness music chain. You select a song or artist and it plays a song by that person. Then it randomly selects 2 "similar" songs and you choose one to listen to next. You could play games to see how long it takes to get from one artist to another. How many steps from Public Enemy to Johnny Cash?

PandoraFM

I like the social aspect of last.fm, but I don't think it gives me nearly as good a mix as Pandora. Pandora doesn't track what I've listened to as well, but put them together and you get PandoraFM, which is super awesome.

Yeah... I know it.

I'm a slacker. I haven't posted since TBWITWW's Birthday (Actually the day before... not because I forgot when her birthday was, but rather because I've been just that little bit off so I'm not sure what day it actually is on a regular basis.)

Anyway... it's been a while. We've moved, gotten settled in, gotten pregnant, miscarried, both of my parents have gotten re-married. (Hi Yvonne and Jesse!). So there's my life in a nutshell for the last 6 months. Wow... boring.

I also signed up for a MySpace account. Yeah I know. I had to take a couple showers afterwards. So, if there's anyone still reading this. What should I write about? I feel like I should update this more, since going back and reading stuff has reminded me of things I'd mostly forgotten otherwise.

I'm reading The Confusion by Neal Stephenson right now. (Ooooh... it's a link to LibraryThing, which is the coolest nerdfest on the net in my book.)

I also just picked up a copy of American V: A Hundred Highways by Johnny Cash. Rick Rubin deserves some kind of Nobel Prize or McArthur grant for helping Johnny Cash put out the brilliance that he did at the end of his life.

Anyone who wants to buy me a Canon 30D is more than welcome to.

Wow... this entry reads like something off of myspace. Crap.
