No, that's not me coming out of the closet, although some of my friends would probably question that, but we'll leave that one for a rainy day...
I found a great add-on for Firefox called 'last FM' (or fire.fm) where you type in the name of an artist, and it plays through songs by that artist and similar artists. The idea is that you will hear some songs that you probably won't have heard before, but are likely to be in a genre of music you like. I have bought 3 CD's off the back of this (William Orbit, Bent, and Olive) which is pretty astounding for me as I rarely buy CD's.
Try it, I think you will find something you like. This is assuming that everybody uses Firefox... 😉
Also, If you haven't tried Firefox then I reccommend you try it. It is a feature-rich browser which runs very smoothly. You can download certified add-ons which will integrate with the browser, and there are literally thousands of them! You can check out the user ratings/reviews before downloading them - they have a 1-5 star rating.

Try listening to first solo CD by William Orbit, called "Strange Cargo", astounding music, dunno why

... i think í´ve heard about that before 😕 . sounds interesting. thx for the tip
and btw: another cool firefox plugin is FAST DIAL. its a tool for managing bookmarks
and it shows you a little preview of a website. can´t post a picture now but its worth to test it out
I use it a bit, but I wish Pandora would become available again - the recommendation engine was massively superior, rather than being based on 'bandname' and 'tags'
Last.fm smash bands together who have the same name, because of this flaw I have my own music tagged as "hardcore" and "girlband" (another Angstrom is a hardcore girlband I assume) and because I have played my own music Last.fm now assumes I like grinding guitars & shouting. Its a crap cascade.
My friend Paddy from Pitch Black shares his page with 3 other bands, and all their fans spew hate at each other. Terrible.
