I listen to the greatest music

It's true, I listen to the greatest music. I'm thinking of getting a iPhone so that I can listen to Pandora Radio all the time. My pandora stations and page is here, <http://www.pandora.com/people/mountainsol>. I have a lot of bookmarked songs that are really amazing. That's why I bookmarked them don't you know... For example I am listening to Grito Nocturno Right now. It's bookmarked. Check it out or listen to it on iTunes. It has an awesome bass line. And I have a really cool subwoofer... it shakes my house! In a similar vein is Ghostwriter (Remix). There are a lot of others. I'm interested in a lot of types of music, which I think is why Pandora is so great- it plays music according to similarities between songs. On our local radio station, which is great btw, there are different shows that play music. Still the songs are grouped by genre instead of actual components. That's what I like about pandora, something you'd never guess will pop up into the playlist. Another Band that I really like is Ratatat.

Some of the music I love is played on NPR. Does that mean I'm out of date or really hip? Songs from Massive Attack, DJ Shadow, and Thievery Corporation find their way on there. When music becomes embedded in popular culture... does that mean it's more relevent or in decline from relevancy? For example one of Massive Attatck's songs is the opening credits for "House" and I think also for some other TV program.
