Stereo Mood - emotional internet radio

Stereo Mood is an awesome site I've just discovered that I anticipate to start using quite regularly. I usually don't use these free music/radio sites like last.fm and stick with itunes instead, but I especially like the concept of this 'emotional' internet radio. You select your 'mood' from the homepage, and there's an arranged playlist with songs best suited  to your mood or activities. chillout, its raining, just woke up, energetic, bohemian, spring cleaning, heaps of lists to choose from. Even if you 'feel like crying' there's a list for you too!


I love how music can be so powerful in creation emotions and bringing back memories. Maybe I'm a bit of a music snob, but I secretly judge people by the kind of music they listen to, as it can really say a lot about a person. I threw on the 'working' mood playlist the other night when a few of us were working late in the office, and a nice mix of explosions in the sky, four tet, radiohead, iron and wine, and sam cooke came on- nice! The only downside is the songs don't stream the fastest here in India.

Another fun distraction is the Art Project powered by google, which allows you to digitally explore museums around the world, zoom in and view artworks, and save your favourite pieces in a collection.
