Lots of sites and services are designed to deliver personal music recommendations, but few do it as intriguingly (or stylishly) as Musicovery, created by a pair of French developers to be the next wave of intuitive web radio.
Specify your preferred genres (from rap to funk to gospel) and era (pre-1950 to present-day) and, most importantly, your mood (dark? energetic? calm?), and the site spits out something you might see under a microscope: a string of interconnected pods and cells, each representing a song.
Add more genres or eras and the song "map" expands; check the Discovery box and you'll hear some truly obscure treats. Stream the station's lo-fi version for free, or you can upgrade to CD-quality sound for $2 a month.
