Source: WikipediaTake it Easy by the Eagles is a song that always seems to make me happy. I’ve never been a huge Eagles fan nor a fan of this music genre, but it’s really a happy song! I realized this a while back when dealing with a DSL service provider’s customer service. Every time I called (yes - the service was not very good) the first song they played was Take it Easy. I remember that it put me in such a good mood, that I actually hoped nobody would pick up for a couple of minutes. One fact you may not know about this song is that it was co-written by Jackson Browne.

What’s your happy song?

Pandora is a web-based service that helps you discover new music. The web app is a Flash RIA that asks you to type in an artist whose music you like, then based on an alogrithm created by the Music Genome Project it chooses artists whose style is close to that of the one you entered. It’s really quite remarkable and worth checking out.

The service is available by subscription (only $36 per year) or alternately by a free, ad supported player.
