Great Websites: Musicovery.com

I remember working for BBC Radio and Music and finding Groove radio, it played soul and disco on a loop and it was fantastic in its simplicity. Cheery music on tap, over the internet. It was subsequently bought by Virgin and no longer exists (which leads me to believe maybe not everyone felt like I did!)

A friend just sent me a link to Musicovery.com. My first impression (though it is clearly much cleverer) is that it is much the same. It makes listening to music over the internet, music radio, very simple and very fun.

You can choose music by mood on a easy to use mood dial while at the same time using a slider to select the era of music you want. What happens next is a psychedelic topic map style presentation of all the streaming music available for you to listen to right then and there. Brilliant, and perfect if you forgot your iPod or don't have an iTunes account at work.

I really like it, clearly.
