rw: The Yeti recommends... (dYeti)

Pandora Internet Radio: Here's how Pandora works. You tell it an artist or song you like; it pulls tracks with similar styles from its database, adds them to your playlist, and streams the feed to you as a customized radio station. I'd dabbled with Pandora a few times in the past but never really saw the point: why not just listen to a radio station you enjoy instead of building one from scratch? But then I plugged the aforementioned Bitter:Sweet in there and discovered a host of similar bands. It's more of a super-sophisticated recommendation engine than radio station, but I've found an astounding amount of great music using it.If you decide to register, you check out my dy Mix.

The Best of Youth: Netflix was insistent in suggesting The Best of Youth, putting a shooting star aside the title and giving it permanent slot atop my recommendation page. I was skeptical: you see my five star ratings for "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Barton Fink" and think I'm going to enjoy a six-hour Italian soap opera? I eventually ordered the film just to get Netflix to shut up about it, and, oh my, it's sublime. Covering over 40 years in the life of a single family, this is one of the most robust and rewarding DVDs I've watched in a spell.

agreed on these two counts.
