Pandora is a tricky lady...
Mar. 6th, 2007 10:18 amI've been listening to Pandora internet radio for a while now, it's interesting program, although, I think it does some weird things to listening patterns.
I started out with a station using Great Big Sea, and played around with it for a bit. Figuring out the whole system and everything. So then I started a new station, taking a lot of the sea songs from the first station to make a Pirate Radio station(The "Yarr! me harty's" kind), which I was merciless in cutting out anything that didn't fit the theme, mostly. It's really good, and I like how it's come out, well, until Pandora starts wandering off and playing almost random stuff, that is.
From there, I took some of the... harder?... heavier?... songs with a stronger beat to them, and tried to make a station out of them, called Queensland Radio, after the first song added. It's not working out quite as well, as I don't have a clear idea of what I want from it, it's kind of random what gets thumbs up/down. Which somehow lead me to another station, that's sorta country music... so from Great Big Sea to Country Music, which I'm listening to now.
Or I would be listening to, if my headphones hadn't decided to pack it in, leaving me with nothing to do except prattle on about listening to music, instead of actually doing it! But it not like I'm bitter or anything. ^_^

P.S. I've also created a few other stations, including a Loreena McKennitt station, an Angry Drunken Irish station, and a Guitar Hero station. I've also learned not to use the thumbs down while in a bad mood, I've totally screwed up a station by rejecting every song.
