Hello
There is a world of Ren Faire/SCA/Filk/Irish/sea shanty/ Celtic/folk/ etc that your system does not pick up on well. Most of the artists I put in don't scan, as is also the case with any but the most commonplace songs, and then those go to Bluegrass/hillbilly that it definitely is not.
In Ren/SCA these are standard stuff favored by hundreds of thousands that would have that as a part of their lifestyle, not a major demographic but a very large one.
Heather Dale, Joe Betancourt, Mary Ann Dinella, Molly and the Tinker, Axel the sot, Cast in Bronze, Celtic Stone, Milladioro, Battlefield Band, Jomey Wilson, Sue Richards, Maggie Sansone, David Majeda, all represent different aspects of this sound as do many more, but I can't seem to get that sound to happen.

consumers and corporations , including representatives of free/price-tagged radio agencies need to come to an agreement that would ultimately leave me heppy, im not correcting that... pandora is great so please do what you must to let it continue

As a Canadian I was heartbroken this morning to discover that I can no longer listen to my all time favourite internet radio! And after converting so many of my Canadian friends!! Let us know if there is anything I can do from Canada to help get the red-tapers past their idiocy! (Clearly I don't have a Senator to email.) Love you guys and looking forward to when you're back!

I will miss you guys. You made me discover tons of new artists and cd's. Hoping this situation gets resolved asap!

This radio station is the best ever, I can discover all types of music on my own just by putting in the band that I like most. I was on another internet radio site , until I accidently came across pandora. Will not be going back to the other site! Thank You!!! Now this is all I listen too!

Hey there,
I know I'm way late on this one, but it's been a while since i commented and i've been listening to some good stuff lately so i wanted to share.
I just bought Release the Stars by Rufus Wainwright and I'm loving it. This album has quite a few highlights for me one being the title track, a perfect closing to a great record. I really like Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Mika's Life In Cartoon Motion, which is just a lot of fun. So those have been at the top of my list. Also, the Josh Dion Band did a live radio set last week so i've been heading over to their myspace to hear a couple tracks from that as well.
Thanks for sharing what you are listening to at pandora, I'm always interested in checking out different music.
