Pandora
I've had the Pandora app on my phone for a long time and known other people that used it on phones or computers, but never tried it.
I wanted to listen to the Dead Kennedys and was shocked that I had NO Dead Kennedys on my iPod! So I opened up the Pandora app and now I'm listening
to Dead Kennedys Radio. Its been a bunch of DK, plus Husker Du, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Subhumans, Black Flag & the Misfits.
Not bad for free!!

I have the app for my android and listen to it about 90% of the time in my car. I don't have to think about what to listen to.

circle jerks radio
cock sparrer radio
the cure radio
james brown radio
curtis mayfield radio
all good
the only issue i have found is that many of the songs tend to start repeating if you listen to the same station like 2 days in a row
you come at the king....you best not miss

small faces radio
the troggs radio are also good
i have also found that you have to use a band that is a bit of a smaller level, like the troggs instead of say the rolling stones or the who....the
big bands leave WAY too much room for bad interpretation and leads into bad classic rock radio
you come at the king....you best not miss

we use Pandora at my new job....I had to turn off homeboy's Dave Matthews radio the past two days for The Seeds, The Specials, James Brown, Lee
Scratch Perry, & Hank III radio. My boss seemed afraid I would just put on punk rock....
record collectors are pretentious assholes

I have never used the "stations" that they have on it. I just kept adding artists to my own titled "Hardcore Mix" and "Random Ish" which has an od
mix of rap, rock, metal, punk, and other randomness. Keeps it interesting. Also, the key is to  the ones you hate since if you 2 songs from a particular artist it will never play one of their songs again. (Example: Disturbed).

I didnt even know there were stations. I thought you just typed an artist you wanted to hear and it played them and some people they think sound like
them. What are the "preset" stations?

I got PANDORA on my macbook and use it sometimes. I like it. When I get a iphone I will defintely use PANDORA more.

Some days Pandora works great for me. If I here Biohazard, I know Sheer Terror, Carnivore and Hard Response are on the way as well. On the down side,
Pandora insists that since I started a channel for Madball that I would like weird European folk metal as well. Still figuring out how that one works.

Damn Americans. It's blocked like everywhere else due to the licensing limits enforced by the labels. Used to be open globally but the RIAA put an
end to that. Heaven forbid other people get to explore music.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

Pandora's alright, but it always seems fairly limited and plays the same handful of songs by a handful of artists and never shows me anything I'm not
already familiar with. I prefer last.fm because I can put on bands I consider fairly obscure and it plays tons of different songs from a huge list of
bands and almost always impresses me by playing great bands I've never even heard of that are in line with whatever band I start the station based on.
I just set up a system to play last.fm at work so we're listening to it a lot up there now.

Pandora is cool. I listen to Gang Green Radio and Darkbuster Radio a lot. I listen to last.fm as well. I go on the Beantown Boozehounds station to see
what bands thay play so I can get an idea of who people compair us to.

I just went on and put in Refuse Resist and it came back with: Sepultura, Hatebreed and Apocalyptica. I am not sure how a band gets a station set up
for them.

Listeners: 226

Scrobbling is how last.fm keeps tabs on what it's listeners play on their own devices. Fer instance, if I use my ipod all week long in the car and at
work and whatnot and then plug it into my computer to update it, last.fm has a system that sends the list of all the bands and songs I played back to
their main set up. I don't mean the stuff I've listened to on last.fm, just the stuff I've played from my own collection. It keeps track of things
like that in order to provide the listener with stuff more in line with their actual preferences. Of course, allowing them to track that stuff is
optional, but it does a really good job of helping fine tune the things they play for you.
