I'm not sure if I've totally missed the music movement on this one--which wouldn't surprise me one bit--but I was just reading Shannon's blog and followed a link to someone's site who had commented on Shannon's blog, and she had this link on her site. Follow that?
You tell the site musical artists you like and it creates a "radio station" and plays the artist you like as well as music like it. Cool. No work. Just pure, non-stop listening enjoyment. Check it out.

Problem is, I can't decide who to put on my radio station... so I've created four. Way to show conviction.
I'm all alone tonight (well, with boys, of course) and am revelling in the time just to be mindless and surf on the computer without having to "share" it with Dan. Yeah, I'm revelling right now, but when I crawl into bed, it will be a different story. At least I have some good tunes.
Hey--this house just listed. What do you think? Homey or homely? I can take it. Be honest.
new or old?

Funny that it's me leaving the first comment here. Perhaps a bit on the desperate side, but...
Just wanted to say that this house backs on to a very busy road. No go. Perhaps a bit more homely than homey then. That's how I can disassociate myself with it at any rate.
Anyone try the music yet? It's so cool.
Who was it? I remember reading that post. Was it tommybarbarella?
I thought it was homey. But yeah, busy street sucks. I'll go check out the music thing.
oh, and who did you pick for your stations?
i'm having troubles thinking ...
Yup, that was her. Funny blogger. Love her fashion entries. I laughed out loud at every picture and comment. Here's her entry:

I picked Jack Johnson to start. Mmmm.
My one station is women-type singers:
Lucinda Williams
Kathleen Edwards
Emmylou Harris
Indigo Girls
Ani Difranco
(I need to go check out CDs out for more)
My other one is more rock-y:
Modest Mouse
The New Pornographers
and what the hell--Blue Rodeo.
(not a good mix, I know. It needs more work.)
Ok, when I looked at the fashion site link, there were a million more pictures and entries than I had originally viewed. I only saw the first set of men. While the most if the rest are really funny, I didn't do it intentionally. That's all I'll say about that.
Just for your interest, Shannon, in case it still continues, I've added the following to my ladies radio station:
KD Lang
Tegan & Sara
Natalie Merchant
I think I'll have to break it into 2 ladies stations--they are all such different styles...
I have also started a more mellow-type menfolk station including:
Daniel Lanois
Bruce Cockburn
Red House Painters
Good stuff.
