It was great to meet you, and I hope to again (whether here in Arizona or elsewhere)!

I had no interest in the Oscars....I was hoping you had time after the "town hall" to go to a spot , grab some coffee, and put up with us all a little more.

I've been on-air for over thirty years, and it has become very stagnant. I was hoping there might be opportunities to provide non-musical content for your upcoming projects and services and, if so, to see if I could be a part of that somehow.

Thanks for coming. I'm looking forward to the next time...

Hi!

I was just wondering if you had thought about making a music player that people could use on their blogs? I think it would be a cool thing to do, and it would advertise to the people that read other people's blogs. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that idea out there.

Thanks,

Tiffany Lindsey

Tim,
That is a very interesting idea, opening up with API.
I am sure it has its disadvantages for you and perhaps your business, but that can propel this thing to places unimaginable (and maybe untended?).
Anyway, never had the chance to thank you for your work. so
Thank You!

@Leslie -- at this point, our license doesn't cover that type of use, alas. We would love to see this happen, but there's nothing we can announce at this point.

@Tiffany -- thanks for the suggestion. good food for thought.

@KindredScents and Barbara King (Babbs) -- very kind of you! you're quite welcome.

I have some band suggestions to add to pandora! They are sleeping with sirens and black veil brides

Well, that's like a tour. Pandora's really fun! A lot of people will enjoy this

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hi Tim,

I love to see that you are out and getting feedback from the people that use this service everyday. It would be great to have someway to post music in my blogs.

I look forward to future updates.

Just started listening to Pandora and it's great! I'm a retired (1991) Air Force MSgt and listening to the old hits brings back lots of great memories of great places and times. and friends. Best of luck and keep it up.

Bring back old memorize is the most beautiful moment we can listen with. The music of the past past days were so meaningful. That's why I really want to go and be a part of the event held by pandora.

how and where can i get a radio to listen to pandora at home

Tim,

Thank you for Pandora. I did not attend the Tucson event, but I would like to air a concern.

When I first started listening to Pandora, I created a "The Replacements" channel. All was good. The music selected was of the same era and generation of The Replacements, give or take 10 years of their activity as a band.

With in the last month, the channel has not gone into deeper cuts of the artist, artists of the era, or place (Minneapolis). Instead their has been many post-pop punk bands added which have little to do with the sound or content of "The Replacements" music genre. I would more expect Prince, because he was from Minneapolis, than "boys like girls". Most of these post pop-punk bands could be Paul Westerberberg's children, conceived when he decided to go solo.

I understand that the music genome algorithm is being used to see which music is similar. It seems there may be a process breakdown, where a song was originally compared with a Replacements tune and it matched. But where it may have gone "haywire" is the individual comparing all of the post pop punk music, compared the one tune that qualified against "The Replacements" music with the new Post-Pop-punk music, ie., all tunes are not being compared against the original, but being compared against a tune that was not the Replacements, but compared well with them. It would be better to use "The Replacements", "best" or most requested song as a baseline for song comparison. Over time artist have an peaks and valleys in their creativity and change direction as they grow.

For example, Green Day fits the channel, the two bands were active within 10 years of each other, content is similar and it seems " the Replacements" some how influenced "Green Day". It seems 'Green Day' influenced "Boys like girls", but were in no way influenced by the Replacements music, philosophy or stage demeanor. Was n't there a Clash song " White Man in Hammersmith Palais" which has a lyric:

" the punk rockers in UK, they won't notice anyway, They're all too busy fighting, For a good place under the lighting....."

This lyric correctly describes the attitudes of the post-pop-punk groups that are being associated with 'the Replacements" , who in there videos would stand-around and be filmed standing around while there music was being played over it. The music video was part of their record deal, but jumping around or playing for the video was not.

I could make many more comparisons between post-pop-punk and the first wave of punk artists, but I feel I have made my point. Please re-assess your process of associating artists, the algorithm my be right, but the human component maybe be messing it up with good intentions.

Pandora is a great service and a refreshing alternative to corporatized radio play lists.

Keep up the good work, thanks for reading my email.

Regards,

Michael

I have a question and after surveying your site help outlines cannot find the answer:

I created a Joshua Bell station, yet I never hear anything played by Joshua Bell. Am I just unaware when he is on? I only occasionally check titles, but listen all day....AND LOVE IT.
