Article: Youtube is an internet site which allows users, companies, and artists to upload videos and songs. Type into the search bar an artist's name, lyrics, genre, or a song title. If you know exactly what type of music you are looking for, simply search for it. If you are interested in a particular genre, type the genre name into the search bar. What will pop up is a multitude of "playlists." Click on one of these playlists, created by individual users, to listen a bunch of songs within the same genre. You can also subscribe to a user's account. First you will need to create your own Youtube account by clicking the button (looks like a person) in the upper right hand corner. Subscribe to an account to get more videos of the same nature by clicking the red "Subscribe" button below a particular music video. Every time that account uploads a new video, you will get a notification of it on your account. After you have seen a number of music videos cookies will embed onto your account. Every time you go to Youtube after that, your home screen will show both music videos you have visited, and music videos Youtube thinks you might enjoy. The latter group will give you the opportunity to explore different music that is still within a particular genre, song type, or artist. Pandora is a website that is built around the concept of the radio. After you create an account, you can scroll through thousands upon thousands of "channels," each based on a different topic, such as genre, an artist's name, a song topic, etc. Type a word or two into the search bar to find exactly what you are looking for. As you listen to the songs on a particular channel, you can pause the song, or skip to the next song on the channel (allowed 5 skips per hour). Pandora is great to use if you are looking for music within a specific genre. Type the genre (bluegrass, rock 'n' roll, etc.) into the search bar and click on one of the channels. This will give you the opportunity to listen to a new genre you haven't listened to before, or new songs within a particular genre you might have never heard or new existed. For most songs on Pandora, the lyrics are provided below the name of the song. You can sing and follow along with a song if the words are hard to discern. Pandora also gives you the option to share a particular song on a social media site (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), or to buy the song and download it onto your computer's music library. The Spotify app, found at https://www.spotify.com/us/, allows you to listen to almost any song ever recorded. Once you have the app downloaded, you can type in any artist name, song title, genre, etc. into the search bar at the upper left side of the app. You can click on "+ New Playlist" on the left side of the app to create a playlist. You can click, and drag songs onto the playlist so that they are always on hand. If you type in a particular artist name or genre, Spotify will produce hundreds, or even thousands of choices. When you click on one of them, Spotify will bring up the choice (genre, artist name, etc.), along with all the songs related to that choice. You can choose to listen to one of the songs, or all of them. Spotify is a continuous music player, meaning that Spotify will play the next song on the list after the first one is finished, or as you are searching for other music to listen too. You should also note that Spotify has advertisements after every five songs or so. You can also get Spotify as a mobile app so that you can listen to music all the time. Spotify also offers a radio feature, similar to Pandora, which can be clicked on, on the left side of the app. iHeartRadio works a lot like Pandora, except it gathers signals from actual radio stations around the country, rather than user-made stations. You can use its service both on the iHeartRadio website, and/or the iHeartRadio mobile app (which you can easily download directly from their website). Choose from hundreds of radio stations from different cities, or different states. Some radio stations are geared towards genres like country or rap, while others focus on eras of music or the radio station's personal preferences. You may want to listen to a grunge station if you haven't ever heard that type of music before, or maybe hit up an alternative station to find music which you know you will love. The great thing about iHeartRadio is that you can switch back and forth between different stations at any time, even during commercial breaks. Soundcloud is a very innovative service, and unlike most other music streaming sites. It does the normal functions of any music site, such as streaming thousands of songs, and allowing you to search through them by genre, artist, title, etc. However, it also provides users the ability to post DJ remixes, or songs they have been working on. The Soundcloud community also plays around with lots of already recorded songs, changing the way they sound to make even more interesting music (see https://soundcloud.com/kinoroy/u-smile-justin-bieber-800). Soundcloud is fairly easy to use. You can either use the homepage, and listen to music for free, or become a user and manage your own account. Similar to other music sites, you can create playlists, and/or subscribe to other peoples' channels. Another added benefit of Soundcloud is that mainstream music artists use the site to post songs they are currently working on, tracks which didn't make it onto their recent record, or independent singles they feel like releasing for free.

Article: Inviting 30 people over to your house for beer pong is probably a good reason to bring your ancient Roman vase collection to the attic. Anything you don't want touched, messed with, or potentially broken needs to put out of sight. Shut the doors to rooms you don't want entered, lock them, tidy up the bathroom, and get your home in party condition. You'll probably want to have garbage bags and cleaning supplies at the ready, too, just to make everything easier. Have games and alternative choices of music out just in case the party needs a little revamping. Get a couple of your closest friends together to help prepare your house for the party. This is also a plus for when guests start showing up; it looks like people are already there and in case someone not so well-known shows up early, it'll save you from an awkward situation. Direct each guest as they show up to the designated food, beverage, and entertainment areas. You want them feeling comfortable right off the bat. Mingle and get to know the people you might not know so well. If there's alcohol involved at your party, make sure everyone who wants to drink has a drink in their hand. Turn the music up enough so that you can still comfortably hear one another. Make sure your guests are comfortable with one another by introducing those that aren't known that well to your group of friends. You may also want to start with the party activities and turn the music up louder to enforce a party atmosphere. Monitor the alcohol counter to keep anyone from overdoing it with hard liquor. For groups that don't know each other, you may need to start conversations rolling. That's why you're the host! If the party starts reaching a lull, feel free to call it a night. Just start cleaning up and telling people thanks for coming and they'll get the hint. If they don't, just tell them the party's over! They don't have to go home, but they can't stay there. Make sure everyone gets home okay. Do they have your number? Are they okay to drive? Does anyone need a ride? If they can't drive, do you have a sofa or bed they can crash on? If your entire living room is a pyramid of aluminum cans and delicately placed paper plates, you have more than enough right to ask your guests to help clean up. It's their mess, too! If that thought makes you nervous, ask a few of your closest friends to tackle the beast before they leave. You'll pay them back when they host next time!
