Pandora- Welcome to the best music ever!

Pandora is a online (free) radio station unlike any other out there.  I was introduced by my long time friend Matt Mabry, who I used to jam with back in the day.  He moved away like most friends have.. then he sent me an invitation to check out this online radio station.  At the moment I was discovering plenty of cool music among alot of other junk I didn't care for on station hunters like itunes and other various ways of listening to music.. I was supposed to be working, but like some of you right now.. I'd rather be distracted than do my job! HA.  Thats another blog.. 

Pandora has been the best thing that has happened to my ears. Seriously.. They appreciate it. both of them.  The thing about Pandora is that it lets you start a station based on a song or artist you like.  Say, .... hmmm you like Los Tigres del Norte...  (hold on I have to thumbs up a song that is cool...)  so you tell Pandora you want music that is like Los Tigres, then it intelligently, by the way of this thing called the GYNOME project finds and starts picking songs that you might like based on the "seed" of Los Tigres.  Very cool!  So in essence, it's a custom tailored station of music based on a particular type of music.  At the same time it begins introducing you to other similar artists that you might not have ever heard of.. Matter of fact you might never go back to playing those same ol cd's over and over.. any body with me on this one?   HECK,.. that was me.. and occasionally  I still tend to do that.

Well, I recommend Pandora to one and all... es para todos!  Heres a small taste of the music I have discovered since...

A whole load of amazing Bossa Nova from brazil based on a seed of "Antonio Carlos Jobim"

Great Blue grass music- I mean some serious picking kind of tunes...

And then My current favorite station that I am tweaking  daily.. based on "Sondre Lerche"

   Love every song this guy does for sure.. haven't found one I don't like!  AHHHHHHH

Oh.. yea..    You give each song a thumbs up or thumbs down... it never plays the thumbs down songs ever again.. and occasionally will replay your thumbs up ones.. ya follow me?

Way cool.. .for real.  

Try it out for yourself  or check out my stations..

Pandora was almost going to go the way of the dodo bird because of some new legislation that was going to go down that would make stations like Pandora pay huge royalty fees.  All those dang record execs getting greedy... again.  Well the people spoke up.. particulary Pandora fans stepped up and called their representatives in Washington to oppose the action.  Glad to say it didn't happen.  so Pandora still exists and continues to introduce the world to all the great music and even to the not so big time, small artists that need to be heard.

I could go on.. ok.. I will a little more... they even take cd submissions to be able to include them in the music genome... no guarantees, but how cool is that.. this is the good stuff.. lets skip all that record label hype and get that connection back.. from artist to the public... love it..

Peace once again..

PANDORA is waiting to change your music life.
