Actually I’m still working on it, it’s an on-going process. One source of new ideas which I came about recently is the pandora website (www.pandora.com) – you give them the name of a song or an artist that you like, and they build a “radio station” that plays music in a similar vein. I find this a very interesting experience – I don’t always “agree” with their choices, but they do get it right from time to time, and even when they don’t, at least it’s thought-provoking – it raises questions such as why I like this or that particular song, how come there’s two songs that are very similar musically and yet I only like one of them, etc.
