Music

Music is huge.  I love to listen to music (I know most of my kids do, too).  I usually listen to Pandora during my planning periods, which is fab.  You can't download any of the music directly from Pandora, and I usually don't hear anything new.  My stations on Pandora (more about Pandora later) tend to play music I already own & like.  The kids often get their music from less than legal sites. 

Now that I'm (reasonably) grown up, all my music downloads come from iTunes/Apple.  When I was in school, I used Napster, Bearshare, etc-I won't lie, but there are still some places that (reasonably) responsible adults can download new music for free.  Gimmesound is one of those websites.  It has a pretty great player, so you can just listen to tunes, but you can also download them for free.  Don't expect to find too many groups that have 'made it'...you won't find Paramore or Metric on here (I checked), but it's a great way of finding new bands & music to like.  Enjoy!
