Several months back I had a number of exchanges with the Pandora staff about REM radio, which at that time was dominated by Top 40 stuff from the same period as REM.
The changes have taken place, and they work! I am just listening to REM radio for the first time since then and I'm so impressed. Thanks, you guys!

I will definitely cite this video to people on my newsletter. Pandora rocks!
