Poor Man's (Woman's) iPod

I've been listening to quite a bit of Launchcast radio at work through my Yahoo! Messenger. It's fun. I can rate songs, artists, and albums and then it plays something I've already rated or something it thinks I'd like to hear. I remember being so amazed by Amazon's recommendation tool when it was new. . . sort of the same feeling here sometimes.

While listening to a friend's station the other day, I rated a bunch of her selections as well. Now my own station has a bit more variety. It makes me laugh and think of her when I get a random Nelly or JaRule song on my station. Doesn't exactly blend with the Erasure, Depeche Mode, Live, U2, Counting Crows influenced mix that is generally playing.

A few songs bring back some very distinct and vivid memories. Most of them from college. I suppose that was the last time that I was really buying new music and going to see concerts. I'm such an old fuddy duddy. Counting Crows are playing now - - a song from August and Everything After. I can't tell you how many hours I listened to that CD.
