Procrastination is pretty high up on the agenda at the moment - the sun shining outside makes us slightly distracted. We're always keen to stave off work as best we can as it means we can prolong not working which is, as everyone knows, the best way to spend time.

Our current favourite distraction is Grooveshark. We can happily avoid our general duties by adding to our Grooveshark library from a database of approximately 22 million songs (which far outnumbers the database of its streaming brethren). If you listen to every song on the database (assuming an average of 3 minutes per song) you'll be happily entertained for around 45,833 days (we find our calculator another great distraction).

The iTunes-esque interface itself is sleek and simple to use (both to play stuff and to add stuff to your library). Best of all, it doesn't require an account, invitation or a court order - you can tap in the website address and start searching/listening to songs within seconds - keeping it simple for us busy people is an absolute must. The streaming itself is incredibly quick and smooth and puts its rivals to shame.

Whilst streaming music to listen to is simple enough and doesn't require much other than your browser and speakers, if you want to upload music you'll need to create an account (though be warned, the legality of uploading is greatly in question). You can also upgrade your account should those banner adverts prove too much for you.

If all of that wasn't enough to convince you to groove on this shark, then 'Grooveshark Radio' will definitely do so. It's a simple system that, at the click of a button, recommends an endless supply of new songs for you to listen to (based on what you've got in your playlist already). It's incredibly clever - we tried it out having just listened to one song and it happily began to push new music on us. A great way to discover new music to adore - work will have to wait a little bit longer.
