morrissey sings me to sleep, but i still don't dream.

pandora is one of those magical creations that makes eagle soar and eases the bore. gimme, gimme, moar. couples vacay at the jersey shore?

here are a few don't miss stations -- if you haven't created them already, you should. and if you don't, then you are a fool. a damn fool.

a.) rihanna
aka guilty pleasure radio. it will take care of all your pop/r&b faves and you may even drop it like it's hawt.

b.) chambao
put a little spice in your life and bust out the spanish dictionary if necessary. good spanish music, mostly from the peninsula, and nothing to do with daddy yankee or the soundtrack played in my neighborhood at 8 am while my neighbors are washing their souped up toyotas.

c.) postal service
makes me happy. with artist names like frou frou, stars and owl city, how can you not love it?

d.) andrew bird
the second love of my life (after sufjan steves totes obvi) provides a wonderful station of indie favorites. every now and then a country song pops up, but like jesus, nobody's perfect.

e.) "i wanna dance with somebody"
this recent discovery had me at hello when they started out the station with "higher love (extended uk remix)," the song of my childhood summers. you see, my family and i used to endure two weeks of hell every year in a beat up yellow wv wagon (think "little miss sunshine") and drive to the remote locations on earth aka wyoming and montana. "higher love," "i will always love you," and madonna hits rage on this station.

f.) "breakable"
for a slightly more melancholic twist, try ingrid michaelson's "breakable" radio. most of the songs are by female vocalist who pine for morrissey (much like myself) and wallow in their requited love. oh morrissey, how many hearts doth thy break?
