Songza Sets
Music without the machine

Machines always think they know what's best for us, what
with their red lights telling us to stop and buzzing noises
telling us our laundry's done -- I'll wear pants when I feel
like it, dryer. Putting a more human touch on your online
music experience, SongzaSets.

A new venture now in beta from the Chi-based online music
mavens who recently decided maybe fancy MIT algorithms
weren't the best way to maximize your listening pleasure,
SongzaSets is a free Internet radio site sporting tightly
crafted 12-song playlists carefully selected by real live
humans, or several surprisingly functional zombies that've
eaten Downtown Julie Brown's brain, along with those of
several other people who actually know something about
music. The ever-growing stockpile of playlists can be sorted
via assorted criteria (category, popularity, the alphabet),
with lists ranging from nostalgic fare like '80s movie
montage songs (hello "Eye of the Tiger", "You're the Best.
Around!") and songs once performed on In Living Color to
more current goodness like indie selections that've been
tapped for major TV commercials, like how Mellencamp totally
went all mainstream with "This Is Our Country". Some of the
sets take on a more educational feel, like the beginnings of
the Louisiana black Creole genre Zydeco, and also include
weekly recurring action, including dozens selections from
the Billboard Hot 100 and songs that've been lighting up the
music blogosphere like some sort of group of songs that've
been totally lighting up the music blogosphere.

To increase your sense of humanity, each song comes paired
with a bite-sized nugget of trivia, criticism or other
editorial goodness, enhancing your enjoyment of the tune
until that earsplitting buzz so rudely interrupts ... HEY,
you don't OWN me, dryer!
