Trying out the beta of MeeMix. It's like Pandora but with a social aspect.

MeeMix allows you to block artists from your station, but it gets pretty granular, which is cool. You can block the band as a whole or just the track, block them for the day, the week or forever.

When the Smashing Pumpkins shows up on my station, I decided I could listen to them anytime from my own collection and didn't want them to show up on a station where I'm trying to discover new music. I choose "Block > Artist > Forever". MeeMix then moves on to another song. Who should the next artist be, but Smashing Pumpkins.

Good ol' beta.

PS. I still recommend the service. It's free and has a fun GUI to play around with, albeit a bit buggy. I couldn't seem to get the Twitter integration to work for me.
