Pandora radio is cool, and totally worth streaming at my job despite the fact it’s illegal or uses all of the hot water at work or whatever, but it’s terrible at predicting what I want to listen to.
No matter what channel I create, I’m back at fucking Neil Young within half a dozen songs.
Today, I created a Daniel Johnston channel. The second song (after I told Pandora I liked the Johnston song) was NEIL DIAMOND’S SUGAR MOUNTAIN. There is absolutely no correlation between the two artists; certainly not on the second guess, anyway.
What’s the opposite of Neil Diamond? Whatever it is, I’m going to create a channel for that artist and wait to see how long until Neil and I reunite.
*also, Pandora is now interrupting my songs, every dozen or 18, with a 15-second commercial. i am ok with it*
Maybe the problem is that you just dont realize you like neil young yet. Maybe it’s a prediction in the traditional sense.
