I kicked my Sirrius satellite radio habit to the curb recently because I’m not driving the distance to justify the cost. Just so you know, the cost is about the same as my new casa’s annual property taxes, or more importantly, a case of inexpensive vino. Hey, it’s good to know I have my priorities in order isn’t?
Now, let’s be clear, music is my friend and very important to my vital existence and lately I’ve been spending a lot of time in front of a computer: 9-5 job (blah, blah, blah) and then when I get home…I’m back in front of the computer again doing things like on-line Spanish homework, blogging, leaving a random facebook comment, or actually working on creating a pornographic tale. While I sit in front of a computer for hours upon hours, upon fucking hours per day, I enjoy listening to tunes, without commercials and something different than what my Ipod has stored.
After saying buh-bye to Sirrius, I discovered a new obsession: Pandora internet radio. I’m not sure if you’ve had the pleasure to experience the coolness of Pandora, and if you haven’t please allow me to turn you on. Pandora allows you to choose from a plethora of various music genres. You decide what type of music you want to listen to and then voila! Music, nothing but what you want to listen to is all yours. And you can listen and listen and listen for up to 40 hours per month for gratis. There’s minimal commercial interruptions too. Fabulous. I told you it’s my new obsession. One of my personal favorite stations is titled: Ottmar Liebert. And dialing into this station has my feet stamping and my fingers drumming all the time. Swoon.
Here, let your ears take big bite out of this:
Strumming my pain with his Spanish plucking fingers,

Paco is amazing. Great track.
Pandora is awesome. I must admit it’s been a while since I’ve been there. I may have to dig up my credentials and sign onto it again this weekend!
Hi Craig,
Yes, I’m beginning to think anyone with the first name of Paco that plays guitar is indeed amazing - think Paco Pena. *chills*. Yes, go back and check Pandora out again. I was listening to various selected genres all day at work. Ear plugs in, music on, I’m golden for hours; typing away on the most boring process steps evah!
Be sure and let me know what some of your genre selections are, so I can copy-cat.
Thanks for the info, Neve. I am a fellow music lover and was not familiar with Pandora. “[P]lease allow me to turn you on”—indeed, such is hereby willingly allowed and appreciated, as has often been the case!
By the way, I laughed out loud at “or actually working on creating a pornographic tale”. For some reason your wording just cracked me up there!
I’ve been a fan for a long time… it’s awesome to be able to create your own stations with all the music you love!
Have a great weekend, Neve.
Thanks, D. You too. I feel soooo much better this morning. I wonder if it’s because I don’t have to go to that need a paycheck place today? Hmmmm….gotta find a way to not need that kind of job, you know?
Hi Em!
How’s my beautiful green girl doing? I know you’re busy juggling a gazillion different things. I’m hoping all my best erotic pals are all in the same antho. I can only wish. You, Donna and I were all in the Swing antho, which was cool.
Okay, onto the post at hand: you must try Pandora, and please check back b/c I’ve asked Craig (musician perspective) to dial us into some of his favorite stations. If Jeremy lands here, I’ll ask him also.
I know what you mean about “working on creating a pornographic tale” I suppose that’s what we do, isn’t it? If someone asks me, “so, did you watch such-and-such show last night, my response is always, “no, I don’t have cable and I’m in the middle of writing a story“. I insert the word story instead of pornagraphic tale depending upon the questionnaire, but in my mind I’m thinking, fully detailed and highly pornographic story!. I know you’ve been there. Hell, we’ve all been there.
Thank you for stopping and commenting. Tomorrow is my blog hopping day. Oh, speaking of, don’t forget to blog stop over to F-stop tomorrow!
!Chua para ahora!
I love that sexy Spanish music! My favorite part about Pandora is the quick mix option. From Johnny Cash to techno to salsa. It’s fun to mix-it up. Makes my work day happy!
Gina Marie!
Hi baby! I know there’s something deeply sexy about Spanish music. Maybe it’s the passion I’m feeling coming through…I dunno, but whatever it is…whew it surely gets me hottttt.
Oooh, Johnny Cash is a good option to add. Thanks for the tip.
I dusted off my old Radio Stations on Pandora this morning and had a good ol’ time while writing.
Thanks for reminding me of it!
Fabulous. Be sure to share those stations, will ya’? Maybe a post on your blog? Gina Marie is also a Pandora fan. We 9-5 folks have to find these little nuggets to get us through the days we’d rather be writing than working…which for me is well, everyday.
