Musicovery - find new songs based on how you feel
Musicovery is a site where you can discover new music based on how you're feeling. Visually it's eye candy. Songs are represented in color and are connected by their relationship to one another based on tempo, and positive or negative lyrics.
No log-in is required to start testing it out. Simply pick out your music category: rock, latin, rap, disco, soul, etc. Then go to the mood/energy matrix and click where you want to start. Music based on your mood preference will appear and you can click on different songs to explore the sound.
We found it annoying the site has no information page outlining its features so you're kind of on your own to discover if you want to register or not. On the other hand, the site is intuitive. You select a song based on your mood, and then like magic, the music just plays. No brain cells required.
Apparently, if you do decide to register, you can save your favorite songs and ban the ones you don't like. Music quality is low-fi on free accounts and comes with those ads you've come to expect.
A paid account starts at $4, features high-fi, allows you to save your favorite songs and has no ads. Even if you don't register, you can buy songs via iTunes, Ebay, and Amazon. We gather the site's name is a combo of music and discovery, but it could also be argued it's a combo of music and recovery. If your mood is low, you could choose happy songs to get you out of a funk.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies.

It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
