Tunes while you work

I like background noise when I sew. The TV is fine but I prefer music. But I'm bored with most of my music now. So I was very happy when I found Pandora Radio . Pandora Radio is a free online radio which plays music based on artists you like. Just type in the artist and they will play songs by that artist and others that are associated with. So if you dig Bob Dylan, they will also play songs by Townes Van Zant or John Prine -- artists you may not have ever discovered.

The Pandora Radio site says it best though: The site will "scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings - new and old, well known and completely obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice."

Perfect for sewing background music.

Enjoy your weekend!

Jen, I love Pandora. I've been meaning to mention it so I'm glad you did. I set up like 4 stations, all for my different moods.
Those red and white quilts are beautiful!

I love Pandora too. I need to get a few more stations going. My husband had one on this morning that was great... kinda bluesy.

Jen, Thanks so much for the link. I am listening to it now. So far so good! Love your 2 color quilts on flickr. I agree the red and whites are beautiful!

My 19-year-old turned me on to Pandora and I love it. But when I quilt, I really like to listen to books. For some reason, I can't seem to keep up with a storyline while I drive, but I can when I quilt.
