Grooveshark

Just in case you don't know this page for listening to music, I'd like to recommend Grooveshark.

The first advantage you'll notice is that there are no loud annoying adverts*.

You can either search for a song using the search box, or listen to the radio, choosing from a variety of styles.




Click on "Radio" and a box will open, giving you a choice of styles.






Obviously your choices are subjective but personally I feel the only thing that can combat Mondays is METAL. :D









*the other problem with Spotify, apart from those creepy adverts, is that no matter what style or decade you choose, eg. Indie 90's, they always manage to slip in a song by someone like Sheila Dúrcal.

Not only does this make (= inversion) you lose your faith in their selection software, but it also forces you to run from one end of the flat to the other screaming "Noooo noooo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" to stop the song before it causes mental problems.

Grooveshark doesn't have this problem (yet).
