Mix Tape Club idea #2

Can’t decide what song to pick for this month’s mix tape club mix? Well here is a link to help out http://www.pandora.com just enter the name of a band or song you like and it will create a radio station based upon that information. It will play a lot of songs that are not mainstream so it’s a great way to find new bands that you maybe don’t know of. Sorry to those of you who are already using the site, but I just wanted to pass it along as a good music finding tool. There is an iPod and Blackberry app for this site as well. It also works great for parties!!
