Interesting new (public beta) online radio thingy called Pandora. Kinda like Last.FM, LaunchCast and MusicPlasma, except it makes recommendations based on the song rather than it's popularity.
Here's what I got with the Pixies:
Pixies - Wild Honey Pie -> "Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features grunge recording qualities, mild rhythmic syncopation, a subtle use of vocal harmony, major key tonality and repetitive melodic phrasing."
...
A Box full of Sharp Objects - The Used
Pixies - Lady in the Refrigerator Song
Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians - The Higsons
Molly's Yes - Fall Down
Eyes Like Knives - Like a Ghost
Sonic Youth - The Candle
The Germs - Sugar Sugar
Good Charlotte - Riot Girl
Richard Hall - Chinese Rocks
The Coke Dares - The Guys at the Autozone were Assholes
Breaking Benjamin - Polyamorous
The Replacements - Can't Hardly Wait
Archers of Loaf - Fabricoh
I added Joy Division and Sleater Kinney to the find-like list so it's not completely Pixies recommendations. Anyway cool little thing. P.S. wtf is syncopation. |

So both of the Pixies songs they chose were covers?
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

 Well hell is hot, so heaven must cool, plus there's a little man inside who turns on the light for everyone.
I was surprised it started off with Wild Honey Pie. I think it gives precedence to shorter tracks. There was only one suggestion that sounded like that Pixies... at least until the singer opened his gob. Eye's Like Knives I think. |

I thought Heaven was hotter than the Sun, or something like that.
