mister slippery Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 www.pandora.com creates a radio station for you based on a band name. generally starts with a song to exemplify the style of the band you choose. got my Ween Radio on now, first song is "Big Fat F**k" this thing is great, but i get the feeling phish is not allowed, due to licensing rights.

CyberHippie Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 The Pandora 'stations' can be a little hit and miss at times. But "Nicola Conte" creates a very nice funky station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 hmm, now they want me to register.It says you need a U.S. zip code to register. I used Christopher Walken's (90211).Use this site to look up celebs Zip Codes. I just use my "Registering for shite" email address. They don't ask too many questions like address and phone number. Just want a U.S. zip code and an email. If you choose the free option, you have to listen to ads. I haven't heard these...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's Christopher Walkens, he controls minds. I'm pretty sure he's an alien leader. Edited March 20, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) OK, I've been using this site all day now and have to say it's pretty wicked. Great Stream, it doesn't ever seem to pause for buffering. It really does introduce you to all kinds of neat music. Over time I bet it will only get better as you customize your stations by telling the station if you like a song or not and by adding additional artists you like in the station. I also like the fact they do not hold any emphasis on popular acts over smaller artists. Totally impressed. Edited March 20, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) Yeah I got turned onto some cool new stuff for sure. The other day when i was listing to the Nicola Conte stream and I kept hearing "the Motet" and "The Budos Band" and was really digging them. When I was at Rotate This that night, I saw a Budos Band CD and had to pick it up. The Record companies should be paying for services like that, not trying to kill it. I also signed up using my spam account, so I don't know what kind of fallout may have occurred from registering. These days everyone needs a spam account The internet has gone to hell in a handbasket, but that's another story.

boiler Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Have you tried adding songs to your favorites yet? From there you can export the code to add your favorite songs and your stations to your blog. I did this . Kinda neat. You can also create a stream directly from your blog.

Patchoulia Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I am sooo loving this!Though I now want to go out and buy cds from about 8 different bands that I'd never thought to listen to before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
