To kick-off the new tradition of “The Daily Lunch Box” I will share with you my three all time favorite websites:
(1) Pandora.com - Pandora offers you a radio experience without commercial interruptions. What is fun about Pandora is that the site is trying to map out the music you are interested in. It will send you different songs and you vote on whether you like it or not. I have one station so fine tuned that I rarely get a song I don’t like.
(2) TV-Links.co.uk - This legit website has a library of just about every movie and television show on the web for you to watch. If you are like me, you can catch up on “The Office” series you missed, or watch the latest and greatest movie. Really cool site.
(3) MyMarketer.net - I couldn’t share my top sites without doing a shameless plug for my own blog. Here you will discover my deepest and darkest secrets—well at least with web marketing =).
If you would like to suggest other cool sites please feel free to let me know. ~Paul W.

I love Pandora! It allows me to listen to my surf music right next to my deep roots gospel. I have a little Clarie Lynch, followed by Milk Inc with a little Rage against the Machine thrown in for spice.

Tyler- I’m not sure about your taste in music, but Pandora is without question my number uno favorite site! I wish the rest of the music industry could recognize what their listeners really want!! ~Paul W.

Concerning Pandora and all other internet radio stations, they are in need of help. I am going to re-post a letter given by the founder of pandora and hope that all who love internet radio will take five minutes to follow the course outlined in the letter.
A Day of Silence
Hi, it’s Tim from Pandora,
I’m sorry to say that today Pandora, along with most Internet radio sites, is going off the air in observance of a Day Of Silence. We are doing this to bring to your attention a disastrous turn of events that threatens the existence of Pandora and all of internet radio. We need your help.
Ignoring all rationality and responding only to the lobbying of the RIAA, an arbitration committee in Washington DC has drastically increased the licensing fees Internet radio sites must pay to stream songs. Pandora’s fees will triple, and are retroactive for eighteen months! Left unchanged by Congress, every day will be like today as internet radio sites start shutting down and the music dies.
A bill called the “Internet Radio Equality Act” has already been introduced in both the Senate (S. 1353) and House of Representatives (H.R. 2060) to fix the problem and save Internet radio–and Pandora–from obliteration.
I’d like to ask you to call your Congressional representatives today and ask them to become co-sponsors of the bill. It will only take a few minutes and you can find your Congresspersons and their phone numbers by entering your zip code here.
Your opinion matters to your representatives - so please take just a minute to call.

As always, and now more than ever, thank you for your support.
