I've been worrying a bit about the cost of music at uni, given as my university's internet system is unlikely to allow me to pirate as easily as I have been doing,* but I've realised I'm being irrational.
Why should I worry when I have Pandora? It's one of the best sources of musical enjoyment I have, and it's actually legal. I've also just stumbled** on a great new flash-based source for music online, which has it's own random element (it doesn't categorise anything, so what you find is really happenstance) SeeqPod.
I'm very much into random music, and hence I'm very happy to have these resources. The thing about my taste in music is that it really doesn't go by categories; but then honestly I doubt many people's does. There are things you like, and things you don't, but the industry created categories aren't based on these things, they're based on something far more coarse: If they're relevant at all it's in deciding WHEN you'll like the music if you do, not whether you will or not.
Get out there, and enjoy some random tunes. Discover new tastes. Don't be one of those people who listens to what's on MTV and assumes that's the best there is.
But then, I'm preaching to the converted here.
