midnightmelody mentioned it in a comment to another post, I decided to have a play with LaunchCast by Yahoo. For those who, like me, hadn't heard of it before - it's internet radio, but you rate songs as it plays them and it uses those ratings to decide what kind of music you like, and plays you more of that. So far - aside from an apparent conviction that I really like flamenco - it's done quite well by me, certainly for background music.
But the really cool part - at least for those of you who don't think I've sneezed when I say 'Otaku' - is that one of the first ten or twenty tracks it played me was 'Spiderman', by Moxy Fruvous. That's the first thing I've ever heard of them, but I liked it, so hopefully it will play me more.
ETA: That's even cooler! It appears to have given me Moxy because I put Stan Rogers in as a favorite artist! Hurrah!
