Please please pleaaasse explain why you are not going to Seattle?! Seattle is the Indy rock haven.

This is just the first of many trips. We'll get there don't worry. How could we not!..

Tim:

There is a legendary bar and restaurant organizer in DC by the name of Joe Englert. This guy is a ball of energy. Very friendly and a huge indie music lover. Best juke boxes in town. I've know him for a long time (I DJ'ed in one of his early clubs and bombed miserably.... eheheh). He currently has at least 10 clubs going all over town. He is easy to locate on the web. If you are going to do something in DC... he is a good guy to know and I think you will find him interested in Pandora.

Here is an article from the Washington Business Journal from a quick google search:

http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2004/03/29/story8.html


If in DC... you might also consider a quick trip up to Baltimore. Another great city for music and you will find some good venues. An old college friend (Ken Delaney) books for a place called the Roots Café. A quirky joint set up in an old duck pin bowling alley.... bowling, food, drink and live music. What could be better? You can get Kenny's contact from their web site:

http://www.rootscafe.org/

I hope the road trip is going well and look forward to attending your DC appearance.

Mark

Station: Exploding Cowboy Hat, zapmc@msn.com

We'll take real good care of you in Chocolate City. Let me know when you start closing in on the dates, and I'll advertise to my other pandora fan friends. You must plan a stop at Tiny Planet Studios.

Music? In D.C.? Yeah, we do that. Check out the legendary Bohemian Caverns in the U Street/
Cardozo neighborhood for blues, stop by Ben's Chili Bowl for a chili dog.
If you take the trains (which I highly recommend, parking is non-existent in this area) The 9.30 Club and The Black Cat (Alternative) are within walking distance as well.
You won't be too far from XM Radio's HQ. Walk by and blow raspberries (joke).
A special bus will take you from U Street to Adams Morgan where you can go to the (in)famous Madam's Organ. See the mural that shook the city to its core. Or something like that, there was a bit of a ruckus anyway.

Please keep us posted!

jay

Mark, Katharine & Jay - thanks a bunch. This is the first time I've heard it referred toa s Chocolate City. Roots Cafe sounds cool - love the quirky spots. What is Tiny Planet Studios- club? recording studio? i've actually visited the XM headquarters - you wouldn't believe the setup - it's like NASA.

I'll definitely take the train. What is Madam's ORgan?

re: Madam's Organ (in Adams Morgan, gerrit?)
http://www.madamsorgan.com/
It is an excellent blues club.

The mural, pictured on the website, caused a bit of a kerfluffle because some folks found it naughty.

j

p.s. I have not heard the phrase Chocolate City in ages! Thanks for the flashback to my childhood Mark M.

Baltimore is so close to d.c. Hope you stop there too. If so check out Ottobar, Fletchers, or The Recher Theater in Towson. If you pass thru Frederick, Md stop at 543 N.Market St. I own a bar there, and support a small local scene. I love what you're doing. Keep it up.

Tiny Planet is a recording studio in the historic U St Area, near the Black Cat, Bohemian Caverns and Ben's Chili Bowl, so you might as well stop in!

You should stop by Keny Ruyter's studio too, as he has supported alot of local musicians. Check out www.eastcoastbands.com and myspace.com/eastcoastbands.

You must go to these places:

Black Cat
http://blackcatdc.com

Iota
http://www.iotaclubandcafe.com/

DC9
http://www.dcnine.com/

Warehouse Nextdoor
http://warehousenextdoor.com/

Also, I agree with Jeff. You really should stop in Baltimore. It has a huge scene.

I would check out Velvet Lounge, Black Cat, DC9, IOTA Club, and Jammin Java in VA (not too far), and definitely Baltimore

To third Jeff, you really should stop in Baltimore. Also, if you have time, there is this really great music scene in the city near where I live. You know, NYC. Feel free to drop in at any time.

Hi
couple suggestions. Grab a sandwich at J. Pauls in Georgetown and depending on when you go check out a club like the funk box in Baltimore or if your heart is set on DC I attached this link to concerts goings on during April. I'm sure that you've received this million times over.
http://www.jambase.com/search.asp?band=&venue=&city=washington&stateID=51&adv=1&fromdate=&todate=

9:30 club for larger bands - it's one of my favorite venues.

to play pool and hang out, go to Atomic Billiards it's in a basement bar accross the street from the Uptown theater on Connecticut. Where you should see a movie...it's rediculously large.

If you go to DC and don't get a chili dog and Ben's Chili Bowl, you should hang your head in shame.

Also, California Tortilla makes some damn good burritos - you'll find them in Bethesda.

... you should definitely check out 930 club (930.com) and jaxx (jaxxroxx.com) or recher at towson...not that far from dc ... these clubs host local and big name bands ... KEEP IT LOUD!

What?! You need to slip up north! There's some pretty decent stuff in Vancouver and it's a mind blowing beautiful city, nuff said!

k-diggle

Hurry up! I'm leaving town again on the 19th of April.

on saturday afternoons a bunch of folks show up at Archie edwards old barbershop and play the blues. the barbershop is now the home of the Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation.

A good time is had by musicians and non musicians alike

Well, if you wait until July, you can come for my CD release party. ;^)

I want your job!!!!!!

I'm definitely a fan of Black Cat and the 930 club. 930 gets the bigger bands of the two (reminds me a bit of Prince's 1st Ave in Minneapolis) and Black Cat attracts more of the Indie bands, although Sharon Jones brought the house down in Feb.

There are some places in Adams Morgan, actually right next to and across from Madam's Organ (mentioned above), that play some good world music. Ghana Cafe is rockin' place that plays Reggae and Afro music from Thursdays to Sunday (http://www.ghanacafe.com/). Across the street is the Bukom Cafe, a West African restraurant that has Reggae every night of the week. Nice place to pop into or listen to outside when trekking back up the hill at the end of the night.
Oh, and a place that I've never been to but my friends swear is super cool is HR 57 (http://www.hr57.org/pages/680590/index.htm). It's a nonprofit that supports the preservation of jazz.

Finally, if you're wondering about Chocolate City, check out Parliament's album by the same name, the song and cover tell it all.

Hey, I'm not from the US, and you have nothing for us to Canadians to put, eh?

Broaden your horizons. Dont forget the neighbors up north.

By the by, there's a band called Crush. Great Canadian band. They have two CD's, Here and Face In The Crowd.

Would be a great addition to Pandora, you can find the CD's in some store.

~~Aaron

Sorry I missed you when you were in Houston, I would have given you this advice there, but know there must be an asian underground scene in DC too so leaving this note here. Check out generasianradio, give DJ ALX an email, he can tell you where you can find asian underground/bhangra -- hip hop mixed with asian, persian, arabic, indian music -- it is HOT and Pandora needs to reflect it. By the way, Pandora would do well to reflect more world music in general...Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan...the Great Caruso of Pakistan...check him out....

I know that Latin music is still coming to Pandora, but there are two great clubs in Adams Morgan for Latin music. Bossa plays terrific Brazilian influenced beats mized with lounge, and Havana Club is probably one of the best salsa clubs in town. U St in general is a great place for music. Keep us posted on when you're arriving!

I would love it If Pandora came to Denver, its a great market and we love you guys. I work at CelebrityAccess.com and listen to you guys all day long, along with my bro at WhatAreRecords. Make this trip happen, it would be Sick!!

Thanks and love you guys,

Evan

NY!, Come to NYC!, visit CBGBs.

Thanks for all these suggestions everyone. Evan - Denver is definitely in the cards. Jill - we'll be in NYC in a few weeks - stay tuned on the blog....

Taking longer to get across country than I expected... turns out there's lots of great music everywhere...

You must track down Linwood Taylor for some great Blues guitar

http://www.linwoodtaylor.com/Main.html

there is so much great music in chicago! the metro, green mill, martyr's, the note, double door, and so much more. you have to come!

You have to check out D.C.'s so-called "gogo" music:

http://www.tmottgogo.com/mygogo2.html

And here the wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_go ->

"Go-Go is a subgenre of funk music developed in and around Washington, D.C. in the mid and late 1970s. While its musical classification, influences, and origins are debated, Chuck Brown (b. 1934) is regarded as the fundamental force behind the creation of go-go music.

Go-go is defined by continuous, complex, heavy rhythm arrangements focused through two motifs performed on multiple congas, tumbadoras, and rototoms, interspersed with timbale and cowbell parts, driven by heavy-footed drumming and punctuated by crowd call-and-response. A swing rhythm is often implied (if not explicitly stated).

Some go-go bands have seen varying degrees of success nationally and worldwide, but Washington, D.C. remains the preeminent center for the music."

Have fun in D.C. !

If you'll be here on the 7th of May drop by Clarendon Grill. DC101 ("DCs Rock Station") is having a Last Band Standing competition and the finals are there last night. Its some of the top local bands in the area! http://www.dc101.com/pages/cco2006lbstand.html

come on through DC! can't wait to see what you guys do next :0)

When you make it to Denver, consider a swing up through Wyoming and see what the West (and maybe even Western music) still looks like outside of major metropolitan areas. Could be on your way to Salt Lake.

Stop in Laramie to visit with Wyoming Public Radio, check in with Asthmatic Kitty records in Lander (Sufjan Stevens, et al. label), visit the terrific "NoWoodstock" festival in Tensleep (mid-August), and the jam-band diehards in Jackson Hole.

travel safe.

Jammin Java in 'lovely' Vienna VA definately a good place to check out for local alt/indie and mixed bag sorts of things.

http://www.jamminjava.com/

Consider DC/N.VA in a sense the same area- stay in Arlington inside the ring for decent accomodations and easy access to the metro system which provides okay coverage of the main areas of interest.

I work in Austin, Indiiana with handicapped children, including moderate, autism and deaf. We listen to Pandora as often as we can.
You went to Austin, TX, now stop in at Austin, IN.
We are just 30 minutes from Louisville, KY and 90 minutes from Indianapolis, IN

Hope to see you soon.

We are out of school officially May 25th.

Cindy

definitely 9:30 -- they get the best of the elusive bands even Kraftwerk made a stop here last year

I'd put my vote in with the few that mentioned Jammin' Java (http://www.myspace.com/jamminjavadc). I'd also throw in TT Reynolds to the mix (http://www.myspace.com/ttreynolds).

As for artists - I'd check out anyone of the following with a show while you're in town:

Ted Garber (http://www.tedgarber.com, http://www.myspace.com/tedgarbermusic)
Justin Trawick (http://www.myspace.com/justintrawick)
Rude Buddha (http://www.rudebuddha.com)
Getaway Car (http://www.myspace.com/getawaycar)
Welbilt (http://www.myspace.com/welbilt)

If you plan to go further north up the East Coast, then I'd also suggest the following venues and artists:

CBGB - NYC (http://www.myspace.com/cbgb) **Note closing in October after 30 years.
World Cafe Live - Philly (http://www.myspace.com/worldcafelive)

Marwood (http://www.marwoodmusic.com)
Christine Baze (http://www.christinebaze.com)
Jon Carroll (http://www.myspace.com/joncarrollmusic)
Ben Carroll (http://www.myspace.com/bencarrollmusic)

Hope this all helps,

~ Carol

are u guys coming to Santa Cruz, ca. If not u bettet check your brain cells...this place rocks w/ so much music of all venues.

A faithfull Pandora listener.
I tell everyone cause I love it!!!
Ric

Hey-

I'm excited you guys are coming to DC! I totally want to meet you guys because you offer such a great service. The chance to shake hands with you (whoever 'you' maybe) and buy you guys a drink would be awesome. I'm not much of a music snob, but your influence on my expanded music tastes has been immeasurable. hope you guys are having a fun road trip and you have invested in bio-diesel!
best,
graham

I'm from the Arlington and wanted to mention a band that a bunch of my DC pals have been into lately. They're called Portal. Not sure where they're from, exactly, but I'd assume from around here since all of my friends have their disc. portalband.com is the website. If you're up this way maybe you can check them out.

OMFG. I can't believe you are coming here. You really should get in touch (as much notice as possibel), as I can put you in touch with some of these DC club owners that people have mentioned (9:30, Black Cat, Iota, etc. and with club owners in Balto., as well). I'm a veteran scenester/performer here who can tell you what's going on any given weekend here (and, of course, during the week).

There's so much going on here, it's not funny. Just tell me what you want to see, and I'll give you a driving tour, if you like.

Cheers and thank you so much for an awesome service (see the e-mail suggestion I sent re: Crack the Sky--they are playing in Baltimore on 7/8, if you wind up coming later on).
Lez Zeppelin just played at the same venue;
British TV came over just to catch them. Woohoo!

Mary Anne Tom

P.S. The Senator Theater in Baltimore is one of the best theaters in the country (top 4, according to USA) and is ten times better than the Uptown.
State-of-the-art sound palace deco theater. (Sorry, no stadium seating, but real butter and down-to-earth prices.) And a great dog mascot that runs around in the lobby.

Can't wait until you get here! Will definitely be at the meet & greet in Van Ness/UDC on the 17th, though it's the same night as Chameleon's UK at 9:30 Club.

Thanx for all you do! I listen at work & have found so much new music because of Pandora!

Visit Cafe Bonaparte in Georgetown...wonderful crepes and truly excellent espresso, which is nearly impossible to find in this Starbucks-only city. Also check Murky Coffee in Arlington if you like the laid-back coffeehouses - only place in the area that reminds me of Seattle, which does indeed have an amazing indie rock scene, KEXP rocks!

I think the folks above already covered the great music places in the DC metro region, so I just wanted to add some artists you should check out:
Shane Hines
No Second Troy
Taylor Carson
Griffin House

Pandora is awesome. :)

In the Annapolis historic district, there's the Rams Head with known acts, and the local bars have smaller local acts. It's about 35 miles from the White House. Nice colonial architecture & waterfront area here to check out. I live right downtown & hope you guys can make it.

To add a few to Carol's list of bands in the DC area, check out:

Everyone But Pete-(http://www.myspace.com/everyonebutpete)
Adelyn -(http://www.adelynrock.com/)
The Speaks - (http://www.myspace.com/thespeaks)
Saturn Down - (http://www.myspace.com/saturndown)

Some of my favorites!

Tim:

Please keep me posted on when you're coming to town -- your first drink's on me as a "thanks" for the great t-shirt. Will you be holding any sort of "town meeting" while you're here? Perhaps the Birchmere (see below) would be willing to host such a gathering in their bandstand area.

I'll put my two cents in for a band and a venue: The band: Last Train Home, (http://www.lasttrainhome.com/) a roots-rock collective who are based in the area and have been touring the country on and off for the past 7-8 years.

The venue: The Birchmere (http://www.birchmere.com/) an incredible 500 seat hall featuring a whole host of acts that are too big for a nightclub, but too small for (or just don't want to play)a large hall.

'Looking forward to speaking with you when you get to D.C. Safe travels!

This isn't a venue suggestion, but Henry Rollins is apparently living in DC now (Columbia Heights I think). On the Pancake Mountain website (http://www.pancakemountain.com/index.html), which is a punk rock TV show for kids, there is a link to the Eighteenth Street Lounge Music record label, http://www.eslmusic.com/index.asp, just in case you wanted to explore a different direction to finding music.

Tim,

If rock is what you want than check out Baltimore, otherwise skip it entirely. I've moved to the area a few years back and all the good electronica events are going down in DC. Most def check out Nation (http://www.primacycompanies.com/nation/index.cfm) and the famous Eighteenth Street Lounge to unwind.

Cheers,
Pawel

Hey Tim! I think it's really cool that you guys are taking the time to check out local and up-and-coming artists. When you're in the DC area, you should try to check out Jordan Page (www.sonicbids.com/jordanpage) - he plays a lot in Annapolis and along the Eastern Shore, but I know he's doing a gig in Georgetown this week. He's really great! Take care and have fun!

hey - more bands to check out -

Greenland - http://www.myspace.com/greenland
death by sexy - http://www.myspace.com/deathbysexy

greenland @ iota Saturday May 27th
Death by sexy @ Black Cat Monday May 29th

The DC music scene is diverse and deep. Enjoy it at venues like DC 9, Jammin Java, Iota Club and Cafe and the historic Birchmere.

Thanks for noticing our city's music that sometimes gets overlooked by all of the other things that crowd the headlines here.

Tim- Thanks for visiting the National Science Foundation! We enjoyed learning how much music and science has in common! It was also great talking with you - it's refreshing to see such a real person doing something so totally awesome. Thanks for the inspiration and best of luck!

If you're around on Thursday, May 25th, there's an awesome show at DC9.

Georgie James (myspace.com/georgiejames)
Deleted Scenes (deletedscenesmusic.com)

Two of the best bands in the city.

Great meeting you the other night! Hope you had a productive and fun visit here.

Gera's comment about science and music having so much in common reminded me of an argument I had with someone I dated, who was a programmer (!!) and said that music has nothing to do with math!! That was pretty much the end of our short-lived relationship! Yeah, I couldn't really convince him otherwise. Prolly for the best. ;)

Anyway, good luck on the road and with your future plans for your company.

Cheers, Mary Anne

first i just wanted to say that Pandora is great, and i have introduced it to some of my friends and plan to tell more about it.

Now on your visit to DC, i dont see how you could not look into gogo music. You will only find this type of music in the DC and Baltimore area, I have never heard anything like it in any other area. Val already mentioned the basic roots of gogo, and i just wanted to reteriate that this would be a great edition to the library in PAndora.

I know you already have some chuck brown which gives you teh early roots of the genre, but including some of the recent artists from the 80's and 90's would be great. Some of my favorite artists are UCB and teh BAckyard band, and there are many others.

I hope that when you visit D.C. you dont overlook this musical style and seriously consider including it into your library.

Thanks for your time, and good luck with everything

Some of the best local jazz in DC is at Twins Cafe on U Street (U and 14th). HR-57 has local acts too and jam sessions. The name comes from a House Resolution (HR-57) that declared jazz to be a national treasure. It is a non-profit organization and I believe it holds classes during the week, at least it used too. A lot of the music venues people have mentioned -- Black Cat, 9:30 club, Velvet Lounge, DC9, Bohemian Caverns -- as well as Twins and HR-57 are in a six block radius in central DC commonly known as the U Street corridor (or Shaw if you are an old timer). At one time, Bob Mould was spinning discs at Velvet Lounge. Also, you could drive down Beecher St. NW and see the home of Dischord Records (Fugazi). If you are interested in local music, I'd avoid the 9:30 Club as it's all national acts. If you want some real DC home cookin, go to Florida Ave Grill at Florida and 11th, not too far from U Street. Its a greasy dinner, but tasty. Ben's Chilli Bowl is good, no doubt, but everyone goes there.

Cheers!

I want to second the suggestions for Annapolis. The Rams Head is an incredible venue that rocks with some of the biggest names in R&B, rock, folk, and some of the newest up and coming names in this area. It is a must see if you are in the area. Besides, they brew their own beer which is one of the best micros around. www.ramsheadtavern.com Thanks for the work!

Hello,

I once searched a band called "Quix*O*Tic", who are from DC, on Pandora with no results. A person you should look out for is Christina Billotte who should be residing there, and hanging around local cafes and music venues. She's linked to bands/band members such as Mick Barr, Zach Hill(Hella), Kathi Wilcox, Amps for Christ, Sonic Youth, basically anbody from Kill Rock Stars within a 20 mile radius of DC, plus more..

Check out Cathy Ponton King while in DC. She is a DC native with a great roots bluesy sound. Playing all over the area during the summer.

http://www.zptduda.com/cpk/

If you're in DC, maybe you'll have time to slip by the beach a few hours away.... Ocean City is the nation's capital's 4th or 5th or maybe 23rd most favorite summertime haunt and you'd be welcome at WOCM 98.1 and Seacrets.

Local great Jimmie's Chicken Shack (Annapolis) will be playing July 10th, and at the end if July the Fixx is stopping in for a show (31st I think). Oh an Violent Femmes is coming in August. We've got cool local and East Coast bands in every night in the Summer, 1 reggae and 1 rock...

Hey Guys,

Add some more GoGo its a genre specific to Wash. DC. Artists like Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers, EU--. Its got a heavy drum line with soul music mixed in

Thanks

Go to alot of the monuments like the Lincoln. Also, head up to Baltimore and go to an Orioles game. Beautiful park and good times!

There used to be a cool little music scene in College Park Maryland, right outside of DC (home of the University of Maryland). The coffee house that everyone used to play at called "Java Head", but they closed and I think moved to DC somewhere. Now there is a new place called "College Perk" which I have only been to once but its pretty popular. They have lots of open mic nights and local bands.

A few years ago there was a band called Cupajo in College Park that was very good. They have since split up, but you may be able to find their CDs somewhere (maybe try CDepot in College park). They were an accoustic rock band that was maybe like an edgier Dave Matthews Band. Put on amazing live slows and even opened for P-Funk. I think they are a must have for pandora.

Finally, if you are in College Park, definately check out Atomic Music, a used instrument shop... probabaly a great place to learn about the local scene.

Just listened to Brody Dawson (from Yellow Knife, Northwest Territories, Canada) singing a Tracy Riley song.

The next time you're in DC, check out Scythian. They're a local Irish band that plays at Fado's all the time and they're awesome. Really cool guys to hang out with too. They're the local band of choice at Catholic University.

I've enjoyed reading about the Roadtrip....but can't help but wonder why you skipped over Colorado? There's some great local music here (particularly in Boulder and Denver) that I think would be of interest to Pandora. For a sample, check out the Studio C Archives from the Boulder "world class rock" radio station KBCO.

Don't know if you've made it to DC yet, but if you do, I recommend checking out The Birchmere. It's just outside DC in Virginia and it's a small venue that attracts top names. The nice thing about it is every seat is fairly intimate. Was a joy to see Rickie Lee Jones perform there just recently. Many artists will come out after the show and talk with folks too, if you wait.

Hi Tim,

When you're in Washington, DC, feel free to come on up to Baltimore. It's not far. If you happen to be here at the right time of the month, I run a monthly "open mike" Folk Music Night at Perry Hall United Methodist Church. The web site is:

http://www.gbgm-umc.org/perryhall/PHUMC/Folk_Music_Night.html

We're small, but we get an interesting mix of music. I hope to get to meet you.

A great DC area band that still isn't on Pandora... Scythian! There was a big piece about them on the Bob Edwards show about a year ago... they are Celtic rock, an awesome bar band... the most fun in ages I've had. Check out http://www.scythianmusic.com

They play at Fados in chinatown on Thursdays and often at Mick O Shea's in Baltimore. They are seriously fun... great fiddle players, who can occasionally be drunkenly persuaded to play "Devil Went down to Georgia"... lol... but their own stuff is so much better.

I can't recommend enough the 18th street lounge. It is owned and ran by the duo behind Thievery Corporation. It has a candle-lit lounge where the best downtempo, trip hop and modern lounge music is spun by DJs, and excellent live jazz/latin/whatever music from local acts on the top floor. It is also a recording studio for the ESL label with excellent talent. It is a little hard to spot from the street, being a word-of-mouth, nondescript downtown building in the heart of Dupont Circle. Not to miss.

So when will you plan to visit Northampton,Massachusetts? We look foward to it. Please let me know when this happens, so I can plan my visit with you all! Thanks ,Dawn

Try Mary Shaver Band for blues. www.maryshaverband.com

Hello Tim and Jen, Why is it that your music station keeps breaking up as there is no continuous flow to your station? I am in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on the West Coast. Also, on your home page you ask the listener to create a station. I tried to create a classical music piano piece of Mozart and it did not work. I will appreciate your response. Thank you, Soli Dastur.

Contact me for hotel info while you are in Durham!

Tom: Thanks for the T-Shirt. Beating the drum for you folks becauce of the different "likes" it gives to folks. I now have it at work and home and got the kids loving it. Got a job but I love music. Live in Fredericksburg VA. Best comment I got from a boss," I know you hate marketing. You are so damn good at because you are so honest." Take care.

Charlie Driest

Nice answer :)

dude...u guys need to check these guys out, it is not a single person but a band from jxnville, fl...U NEED TO GET THEM ON HERE-the name of the band is: casey jones

Hey: Check out Taylor Carson sometime...he is awesome and just a puppy...gotta love those musical prodigies... www.taylorcarson.com

Sorry I signed up (got my computer and found your site), just after you were in the northeast. You missed Connecticut (I'm sure you went through it). I hope my friends in RI and Mass hooked you up with some good "vibes" I work with many of the "Roots" Jam band promoters in the area www.Wormtown.com is my bosses site and we produce, and help others produce much of the live music in the northeast.Maybe you've heard of "Wormtown's Garden of Eden", "StrangeCreek Campout", or "The Gathering Of The Vibes" These are some of our Festivals. We also produce other club shows in the Mass, Conn, NY, and RI area. They are home grown types of music, not the mass marketed "slop" that steals more money from the artists than it makes them. I wyslf have been promoting live homegrown music since 1972. I am 50 years young and am more passionate about this subject than ever. If you get a chance, come, and/or tell everyone you know to come to the 10th Anniversary Party/Festival @ the ADC center in Southbridge Mass. on the 25th and 26th of November. Please also visit us any time @ www.Wormtown.com.(PS Wormtown is the old (70's) name for the "underground" music sceane in Worchester, Mass. Our origional home town)
Thanks for the forum and the great music,
Jimworm. JimP5050@Optonline .net

When is the Pandora tour scheduled to come back to DC again?

www.youtube.com/wolfsnigs as well, um do you guys want me to send you some music you probably don't have ...i probably have alot of it ..also check out www.cdbaby.com ...great place to buy local artist in the moves. I do video's for bands as a hobby and send them out on youtube and when im at work i listen to your pandora site ..its great but needs more tunes I think. You missing a ton of 80's rock music and well i have a library of music in my bedroom ..you have no idea it's huge. Anyways have fun on your roadtrip ..visit chicago or green bay sometime ..laters

Paul

Maine is full of good music. For example the group called "Tough Cats" from North Haven Island. And The Rubber Band from Brooksville!
How aptly is Pandora.com named and what delightful Saturday afternoons I've spent with my banjo jamming with such a lot of good music. Thank you!

An interesting Fact came to my attention. Music is one thing that the brain doesn't filter. you can hear a song or tune and sometime in the course of your day it will come back. you will sing it, hum it,or whistle it. but it will come back to remembrance. Thank you for Pandora Music. Djr

Come to Wichita! Although it's in Kansas and maybe a little honky sounding for most of you, I promise the underground music scene...art in general really...is thriving! I am in fact not a musician (sorry homies), but am familiar with the scene because of my sketch comedy group that I have here. A member of our "crew" is a musician and because of that I know of many many musical outlets here in the city...and they're worth mentioning(duh, I'm mentioning them)! A friend got me hooked to your website and it's starting to spread...I'll mention it to friends and usually I get a "I know, it rocks" or something less "thumbs up" sounding and more of a "I listen to it at work" or "I listen to find the bands that I want to buy CDs from" that kind of stuff. Anyhow, Wichita, KS...be here!

When visiting Kansas City, make the extra 1/2 trip down I-70 to Lawrence, Kansas and the University of Kansas campus. You'll find more of what you're looking for there and some good earthy eats while you're at it.

If you haven't been to Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico, you have missed an essential cultural part of the multicultural USA.

You should come Madison, Wi. I am a big fan of Pandaras radio.

I'm not sure if they have an opening but this is the greatest venue I have been to. Very central as far as location and very heard of as well as a great vibe. Check out there website at www.finelinemusic.com. This sounds great. Keep me posted on the details.

A great place to meet in st.louis is the pagent plenty of space and good parking.

Pandora is the best thing that has come into my office. A friend turned me on to it and now I am a happy camper. Visiting? Come to the Great Salt Lake Valley of Utah. Lots of great people and musicians and musical activity going on there. Think you would like it. Thanks for the tunes!

Just want to tell you that this is such a cool site!! I love it. I never got into iTunes because I could never remember the names of specific songs I loved so I never filled my iPod. This station completely solves that problem. I put it something like James Taylor and end up with continuous songs similar to it.

Love it! Good job. Where are you guys out of?

When do you think you'll be back in Chicago? I just started using Deezer.I seen you where here. Any return date?

Hi Tim, I live in Rock Springs, Wyo. You should come visit sometime. Cold and windy in the winter time, but nothing you can't handle, I'm sure. I listen to music 24-7. Looking forward to seeing you. Trudy

OKLAHOMA - specifically Norman, Oklahoma. No one gives Oklahoma a chance, epsecially when it comes to music. We have a growing music scene and lots of interested "folks"! Can't deny where we are from...give us a try!

AARON WILSON where are you? The Blue Ridge is calling.
Music and much more.

Revolution Records was sweet! I wish they were still there!

Pandora worked ok for about a week and now won't load. If I go to your site it just says "done" at the bottom and the page is blank. I see some others are having the same problem and it seems to be related to "Flash" screwing up the works. I had to remove your url since it's non-functioning now. I suspect it's DRM wanting to hose your site ... and it's working, unfortunately. It was good while it lasted.

What,your not coming too VEGAS the "Entertainment Capitol of the World." OK

I was wondering if you were going to get some music from the artist N'dambi. She was a brackground singer for Erykah Badu and she now travels all over the world with her great neo-soul sounds.
