it's a hot and cool site too listen to reggae on?

sweet times for country!!!!!!!!!!!

"I Wanted So", by Johnny Cash is ripped incorrectly with lots of CD skipping. It creates an interesting, if annoying, rhythm. :)

Yes I really did enjoy listening to Pandora Box;
I found it very intertaining. Best of all I liked how you can select a song or artist to listen to.

Thanks Again,

Karen

I have a question for you guys that I'd love to see a post on. How is it that last.fm can operate in Canada but you can't?

I'm not sure where else to post this so:

Does the Music Genome Project have genes related to the dynamic expression of a song? I prefer songs that are not flat in their volume, but rather include parts which ramp up in volume and intensity, or fade to something more quiet and reflective where appropriate. High dynamic expression, in other words, is my preference.

And in a similar vein, are there genes measuring tempo variance, where the tempo in a song might start at one speed but slow or quicken at points?

And, to be on topic, I do indeed find songs in atypical meters to be more interesting than the standard 4/4. Although, not to say songs in 4/4 are bad.

All I got to say is... when will you guys let Canadians back into Pandora?

Please reply.

I love being able to get info on the song, artist, and album via the pop-up links. I think it would be great if a user could also link to the song's lyrics in a similar fashion. I suppose transposing lyrics is beyond the scope of your genomic activities, but perhaps you could partner with a third party for this service...

Hi, Moo...

We do indeed track dynamics and tempo variance. If you want to hear more about dynamics, you might want to hear this show with Matt Cannon:

And RSPhotoIndy,
I would love to see lyrics on there as well. I know that we are trying to make that happen, so stay tuned, and hopefully lyrics will eventually be added to songs' information on Pandora.

I love music in odd time signatures. Another
well-known example is "Living in the Past" by
Jethro Tull, in 5/4. Progressive rock, which is
my favorite style, is full of odd signatures.
Chris Squire, on "Fish Out Of Water", even did
a whole song in 11/4 time. "Salisbury Hill"
has a great effect in which it's in 7/4 time
except at the end of the verse when he throws in
an extra beat to make it 8 counts, which makes an
exciting climax at that point in the song.
Great stuff. I liked your show very much;
I think you explained the time signature
concept as well as I've ever heard it
explained.

two words very educational

very cool, i was dancing with my dog, she dances pretty well. but the music was far out, dig it and solid..thanks

This was my first listen... some problems with skip, but I like the variety and some songs that I would not have chosen...expands listeners understanding of the artist...I have a broad intrest but fall back on rythem and lyric honisty.

I just wanted to put SOMEWHERE how much I LOVE Pandora radio, you guys are awesome and I listen all the time! I always get the most perfect songs, I don't know how you do it, but its AMAZING!
