As you probably know, I'm a big fan of Blip.fm and Pandora, both ways of discovering and sharing music, from slightly different approaches.
Blip.fm shows a constantly streaming list of songs that are being "blipped" by DJ's around the world. You can tune in to anything that sounds interesting, and if you like it, reblip it to your listening audience. (You can share via Twitter and Facebook, as well.) I have found tons of music this way that I would never have discovered otherwise.
Pandora, on the other hand, lets you choose an artist or song that you like, and then, based on "tags," or qualities of the music assigned by listeners, serves up other artists with supposedly similar qualities. So if you're in the mood for, say, The National, you'll hear some of them and some other groups that folks think are like them.
Now try something called Musicovery.com, a music discovery site that's all based on mood. There are four basic moods: Energetic>Calm, Positive>Dark. You can mouse over whatever reflects your mood at the time. A particular song is assigned to that location. Like it? Suits your mood? Keep listening. Other music will come along that has a similar feel. Or maybe you feel like changing your attitude - in the mood for a brood? Try dark and energetic.
Music ranges from oldies (I mean, real oldies, like Doris Day), to current artists and songs. And of course, you can link something you like to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and so on. Let the world know the music mood you're in!
