Considering your intense passion for music, I wonder if that also extends to foreign rock. Well, I'm working on my own blog at http://crocksimplication.blogspot.com/ that deals with the rise of Chinese rock along with its social functions and implications to the rest of the world. If you're interested, please come for a visit once in a while. Thanks! Haha, this album is funny and jammin’.

Also, no mention of the Neighborhood Radio playlist on last.fm? I use that sometimes. If your account has a large population of songs scrobbled or 'loved' I find that you don't get the same level of repetition listening to your personal station as you do when you listen to an artist/tag/genre station. I use both but very rarely pandora. I think pandora has a lower barrier to entry which is appealing to some. I think you should mention that these services can be used in a car on a mobile device.
