People always ask me what kind of music I like. Not because people are particularly interested in me. It’s just a question that people ask. Well, when I’m asked that, I usually say something vague like, “You know, whatever.” Thanks to Pandora Internet Radio, I can now answer that question, “I like Christ-centered music with a subtle use of vocal harmony, meandering melodic phrasing, mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation, extensive vamping, and an emotional male lead vocal performance.” I think I also like folk influences and major key tonality. Pandora is my new personal DJ.
Pandora is based on something called The Music Genome Project, classifying songs based on hundreds of musical attributes. You then go over to Pandora.com and put in the name of a song or a band that you like, and it will create a radio station just for you based on the attributes of the song or band you entered. As Pandora continues to suggest songs it thinks you’ll like, you can say “I like it” or “I don’t like it” and the musical playlist will be automatically adjusted to fit your more specific tastes! Of course, you could have found most of this out from just reading the Pandora FAQ.
If you haven’t tried Pandora yet, give it a try.
Here’s one of my favorite stations.
