I’ve been completely bored with the music I’ve been listening to. Worse yet, I’ve found it exceedingly difficult to find new music which has caught my fancy.

Thankfully, lifehacker swung in on a rope and saved me from musical monotony. In a mouse-click that was as whimsical as any mouse-click could ever be, I was introduced to one of the finest net inventions ever, Pandora.com.

Pandora automagically serves new music to you (that you’ll like) based a favorite band or song of yours. That’s it. Feed it a song or a band, and it feeds you musical goodness. Lots of it. Emphasis on the good. You know those buffets in Vegas that have great food, for cheap? Well, this is that, but for music on the Interlink, for free.

I recommend you give it a go.

If Pandora catches your fancy, you might also sign up at last.fm, which is a similar music service, but differs in a few ways.

• Last.fm keeps track of what you listen to.
• Last.fm can keep track of what you listen to if you install a piece of software into your favorite player. Don’t worry, it’s painless.
• It then recommends music based on all of this. Like Pandora…

If you like both Pandora and last.fm…. enter pandora.fm
It’s pandora, but it talks to last.fm. You get the benefits of both. Oh-so-slick. I’m in heaven.
