Music to Create To - M. Ward Radio on Pandora

There's been a lot of craziness this week. Multiple design deadlines, a new family member in the house, the LOST season finale (ok, maybe that shouldn't count), preparing for my amazing friend Rose coming to stay with us for a few days, and on and on. I have a tendency when life starts to over whelm me, to just shut down and get paralyzed by it all. So I work hard at making room for calm, peace and balance in my life. All week I have been listening to this M. Ward station on Pandora Radio and it has been helping to keep me productive, on track and sane all week. Some of my most favorite folk/acoustic artists pop up from time to time (Damien Rice, Iron and Wine, Matt Pond PA) and I've discovered a few new-to-me favorites as well (O.C.S, Will Johnson, Famous Last Words). Definitely a good shared station to listen to when times are crazy...not so much when you want to take a nap.

Happy listening!

Music to Create To - Thievery Corporation on Pandora Radio

As previously stated, I'm addicted to Pandora Radio. I love finding new-to-me artists and the endless variety of music that you can listen to...for FREE! Sometimes when I'm working on projects that require a lot of focus, or blogging, or anything that requires my mind to not be ADD listening to music with lyrics can be quite distracting. To the rescue is one of my favorite new Pandora obsessions; this Thievery Corporation shared station. The artists seeds are Thievery Corporation and Groove Armada and this populates some great lounge/groove/jazz inspired music that is great for being creative. I've tried out a few other similar stations and at times they get a little too reminiscent of elevator music. But this one has kept me going for sustained periods of creative focus and hasn't let me down. Check it out, or create your own "trip-hop" station. (That's what it's called. Not making it up, folks!)

Happy listening!
