Panda Knowledge

So, I've been listening to Pandora recently.

If you don't know what that is, skip tot he bottom, then come back and join me here.

So, in its infinate wisdom, it tells me about bands I have never heard of. I get a LOT of stuff I never heard of. A list of what I'm digging right now can be found here:
JR's Pandora Favorites

I am only adding songs to that list from band I dont know. I'm gonna go through and find albums form them, so if you have one, let me know. This list should updates as I listen to Pandora more and more, so check back with it.

The last three tracks I really loved, here is why Pandora says I like them"

"Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features a subtle use of vocal harmony, mild rhythmic syncopation, mixed acoustic and electic instrumentation, major key tonality, and electric guitar riffs"

"Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features a subtle use of vocal harmony, mild rhythmic syncopation, repetitive melodic phrasing, mixed acoustic and electic instrumentation, and major key tonality."

"Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features hard rock roots, punk influences, mild rhythmic syncopation, major key tonality, and electric guitar riffs"

Apparently I'm easy to nail down. I like a lot of the same thing, I guess. I didnt know that.

Pandora is an online streaming music service. Similar to LaunchCast, but different in a very meaningfull way. They take bands you give them as your "favorite" and match up songs. You tell it what songs you like as it plays them, and it narrows down on what you really like in music.

Like Pandora says...

Pandora is a music discovery service designed to help you find and enjoy music that you'll love. It's powered by the Music Genome Project, the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Just tell us one of your favorite songs, we will play music like it.We take your input (artists, songs) and feedback ("I like this", "I don't like this") and use the Music Genome Project to create stations that play songs that are musically similar to what you've told us. That's it; only the music counts. We don't care how popular the artist is, who's backing them, and we don't care which genre bin they usually belong in. Only the music matters.
