KEXP.org & Pandora.com

At work they block internet streaming protocols. Besides saving us bandwidth I'm sure that it cuts down on worker productivity. I know that I am a happier employee, and more productive, when I am able to listen to KEXP. I stream KEXP at home all of the time. I am thankful for KEXP.org. I hope that new rules don't limit its ability to broadcast over the internet. Since I cannot listen to KEXP at work I am stuck with either personal CDs, personal radio, or...pandora.com. When pandora.com first came into being I was an early experimenter. I wasn't a huge fan but in the year or so since I stopped using the service I think they've gotten considerably better in making music suggestions. And since I can't listen to anything else at work it is way better than nothing. I'm thankful for pandora.com.
