BBC's music cubes
Okay some explanation may be required. If you head over here you can create your very own music cube. The idea is that you can select music genres that reflect your taste. You can then put this anywhere, or just play with it yourself. Folks can tune into BBC radio stations that stream that kind of music online.
If you are anything like me, I listen to a wide variety of tunes, and to have access to high quality online radio is a lovely thing. The quality of the streaming is very respectable as well.
I love the bbc is doing all this fantastically progressive work with new media, and is another reason why publically funded broadcasting is a good idea. They've released symphonies online, they are making many of their tv shows available online (albiet to UK based visitors - as they have paid the UK television license which funds the bbc) and much more.
The genres you can choose from is a little limiting, but I feel that the music cube you see here is a reasonable representation of the kind of music that I'm personally into. There's also an element of personal identity that you build through your musical tastes, and this is a nice reflection of that.
It's a fun excercise to put this sort of thing together so give it a try!
