Pandora confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that every track from Adele’s new album, 25, will be available through the radio service. Adele is not allowing the album to be streamed through on demand services like Spotify, but a non-interactive radio service like Pandora can play whatever it wants as long as it pays the royalty. Tracks from Adele’s 25 therefore will also be played on other radio services like iHeartRadio according to the Verge.

Pick of the Day

• Slickdeals

I wanted to submit a pick I use all the time: slickdeals.net

It is a community driven deals site. I'm was never big on deal sites until I found this one. It has a strong an vibrant user community which makes finding deals great. Each deal is submitted by a user and receives rich set of comments from the site's very knowledgeable community. It is pretty much my go to place before buying any high priced item. Even if you do not see what you are planning to buy, you can submit it to the site and you will quickly get opinions of the community on whether what you are thinking about buying is a good deal or not.

I highly recommend it, especially around this time of the year.
