s/o from "Theme Song" QOTD
I've started to try to replace some of my TV viewing with listening to music. When I'm home alone, I need something on in the background b/c a completely silent house creeps me out a bit, especially when I'm alone. However, this often gets me sucked into terrible daytime TV.
SO...
What songs/artists have you been into lately?
I've gone on an iTunes shopping spree & bought Adele, Dia Frampton, Meiko, Lenka, and some classical stuff. I'm open to other genres (especially dance-able stuff b/c Sprout's new favorite thing is dancing).
Also, because of the QOTD, I listened to my "soundtracks" all day yesterday. Sprout especially enjoyed Mr. Wendel (Arrested Development). 
Re: s/o from "Theme Song" QOTD
I've recently become quite obsessed with The Civil Wars. Highly recommend!
I'm also obsessed with Spotify - I love that I can basically listen to anything I want for freeeee!
Do you have cable? If so you should have music channels you can listen to on TV - we do Music Choice through FIOS but had the same channels when we had Comcast. No commercials!
I'm not really up on the new music scene - but can you play Pandora on your computer or TV? I just throw the Vertical Horizon or Norah Jones channel on for background music and it plays all sorts of other music like that genre. I can't believe that I lived so long without Pandora.... and now that I have my iPhone I can even listen to it in my car!
I do and I also have Pandora which I can stream on TV/the big speakers.
But I like building my own playlists better.
I use Pandora to find out what songs I want to download.
And I've also been listening to the Civil Wars lately.
Yes, I have several Pandora stations that I can stream on our "big speakers" (so, not on the computer meaning I can hear it if I'm in the kitchen or living room or whatever). But I find Pandora plays like the same 15 songs over & over again which gets...old.
When my husband gets home we almost exclusively listen to Pandora until Sprout gets home, so I really do need to (a) find new artists to create new Pandora stations or (b) download new stuff
Ditto this. I love to tune in to the 90s channel and jam to my shameful music choices.
Otherwise, my iTunes playlist includes:
I realize this list is pretty random but it's what perks me up. And to all you out there judging my music choices - SHUT UP!!!
we use Grooveshark and have it wired directly to the stereo. great site, you can build your own playlists, use generated playlists or listen to grooveshark radio (genre-based).
you can save playlists, too!
currently, i'm in a meshell n'dgeocello craze. seriously, it's on at work, in my car and at home. her music is the soundtrack to my life. her latest album is smooth, sexy, sophisticated and grown up. i
it!
