Oooooh . . . I need to try that out!!
ITās amazing, SB - listening to a big band/swing playlist now. I love the different ways you can find playlists - thereās a āmusic conciergeā or you can view playlists by genre, activity (I have to check out the ābreaking upā suggestions, just to see what theyāre suggesting) or mood. I found the Epic Film Scores playlist because I was curious about what they suggested for ācodingā. 
Iām loving the Epic Film Score playlist! It has more variety, and more current music, than Pandora ā which seems to have latched onto the fact that I have ālikedā a few piano scores, and is loading up all the playlists that might carry that type with just that type. HELLO. Where did the epic songs go??
Sorry. Rant. 
EDIT: Iām thrilled they have a āSaving the World From Evilā list! I recently made a playlist on my iPod (and a CD for the car) called āFight the Bad Guys! AND WIN!ā filled with heroic songs of teamwork and triumph. Pumps me up every time. 
Wow. They have a J-pop station. Starting off with Lāarc en Ciel. Not my favourite, but letās see what else they play for me.
Okay, the first five songs were all Lāarc en Ciel and Utada Hikaru. Now theyāre playing Miyaviā¦ T.M. Revolutionā¦ and that looks like all they have. Oh, well. I guess I just have to keep buying CDs.
Songza is pretty good. I listen to it often. Iāve found the playlists arenāt updated often but thereās a good selection.
For other streaming radio, I really like Third Rock Radio. A good mix of new and older stuff. Plus, itās NASA stuff so you knowā¦ Space.
CinemaSins is my new favorite Film Critic on YouTube. I especially loved his review of Everything Wrong with Star Trek: Into Darkness followed by his 20-minute loop of āMy Name Isā.
For the Star Trek geek in some of us this holiday seasonā¦

Falling to Earth

Explanation: What would it be like to fall to Earth from really high up? A new record for the highest jump was accomplished in 2012 by Felix Baumgartner. Surpassing the previous record of 31.3 kilometer plummet, Baumgartner, in a commercial venture, jumped off a floating balloon platform 39.0 kilometers above New Mexico, USA and had his entire fall recorded on video. Baumgartner wore a pressurized suit able to provide breathable air and warmth while up in the balloon, but then cooling from the heat generated by the friction if his fall. Free falling 36.4 km before deploying his parachute, Baumgartner surpassed 1,000 km per hour and the sound barrier during the descent. The above video records his four minutes and 19 seconds of free fall in real time. The stunt included a somewhat unexpected but potentially dangerous spin that occurred during the second minute which could have knocked out or disoriented Baumgartner. After an enthralling plummet, Baumgartnerās parachutes deployed and he landed safely.
āCharlie Bit My Fingerā parody, starring the Hemsworth brothers. (Link has a link to the original video, if you donāt know what Iām talking about.)
This is SQUEE-worthy, and downright hilarious!
I had to show that to my wife as well - both of us thought it was hilarious too
