As a financial officer I needed some mellow tunes at work.  Normally I go classical at work and heavy metal in my car but I put in the name of a mellow artist I find good, Damien Rice, and Pandora surprisingly spit out some EXCELLENT tunes.  Now I’m a big Napster fan, especially Napster to Go, but their radio stations stink bad; anyways I digress.

What tunes did I like you ask? I’ll list them because it had a neat little bookmark feature for me to keep track of artists and songs I dug.  I’ll just list artists for simplicity purposes so granted much of my perspective on these artisists is from one or two songs.

• Matt Kearney
• Laura Tsaggaris
• The Format
• Amos Lee
• Without Gravity
• Josh Kelley
• Joshua Radin

Some chill tunes indeed!  Just melodic singer songwriter style stuff, decent acoustic work, melodic rythmic syncopations, good vocals, good stuff indeed.

It also picked some bands/artists I know of and have enjoyed for years and years such as,

• Ryan Adams
• Counting Crows
• The Fray
• Snow Patrol
• Ben Harper
• Jack Johnson
• Radiohead

These were great matches for the most part to a melodic busy day.  They kept me in a good rhythm and a chill happy mood. 

I’ll let you know if I get spammed for signing up to their “free” service.
