All I had to do was choose Bob Wills as a starting point and Pandora began selecting everything from Willie Nelson to Travis Tritt. Uh, no. Bob Wills is closer to Benny Goodman than to the country stars. The so-called "music genome" project is not science. It is a subjective measure based on obvious bias; in this case a bias that says "all country music is the same". I happen to hate most country music, but I'll drop what I'm doing to go out and hear any Western swing band. I happen to know a couple people who work for Pandora as listeners or evaluators or whatever they're called. They're not convinced that the "genome" project is very scientific at all. Their "engine" such as it is, appears to be a database that selects based on an average of about 30 of their 200 or so criteria. And it looks as if they toss in an occasional random selection about every 20 songs or so. |

Once again, all you have to do is set Bob Wills as the artist and Pandora goes silly. I just did it to verify my claim, as I haven't used Pandora in over a year. Here's what happened: Bob Wills Lefty Frizzelle (good match) George Jones (crap) Slim Dusty (cripes!) Bob Wills (good match) Loretta Lynn (uh, no) BR549 (yecchhh!) Flatt & Scruggs (bluegrass?) Bobby Helms (good match) Ernest Tubb (oh....my....) So, Pandora thinks that Western swing is equal to honky-tonk and Nashville sound. No, it's not. Nashville Sound is deplorable. Honky- tonk is good if you like guitars and like to cry in your beer. But neither of these genres is equal to Western swing. And what's bluegrass doing in there? I don't know how to impress upon you that there is nothing scientific about this. The listeners are uneducated in the 10 genres of country music, and don't know the differences among them, so they lump it all together as "country" because they think it's all the same. Western swing (as anybody who grew up in the Southwest or in the Bay Area knows) is a distinct genre of country more closely related to be- bop and swing than it is to honky-tonk or bluegrass. You won't find a banjo in Western, but you'll likely find a piano or a sax. Some people educated in music (Pandora hires lots of musicians) could tell differences in tempos, beat emphasis, instruments used, stanza structure (AABB, AABA, etc) and other criteria, but they're NOT using these criteria in evaluating Western swing music. They're using purely subjective criteria. They're calling it all "country" and much of it's junk. Go try it for yourself, starting with Bob Wills as the artist. Then listen to what you get. The choices go all over the board, and they most certainly don't swing, well most of them don't anyway. |

It is very cool, particularly the engine behind it. I found it to be very ineffective. I would type in Avril Lavigne who I like, and then it would play some dumb song from some no-name artist I'd never heard. And I'd click "skip". Again and again. Eventually it reached a point where Pandora kept playing the same songs over-and- over. I prefer a human programmer. They'll typically do a "no repeat workday" thus providing lots of variety, but also having a huge library of classic hits. Even an Ipod on shuffle is better than pandora. Computers are dumb, and the computer behind Pandora is also quite dumb with its poor selections & repetitive playing. |

I spoke with a Clear Chanel guy (yes, I do seem to know everybody) and
he told me that the Format Lab is a test designed to discover listener acceptance of new format ideas. He told me that they gauge number of listeners, time spent listening, time of day, and listener location (to a certain extent). I asked about registration, and he said that the idea is to bring in the most listeners possible and that registration reduces response by as much as 80%, so they don't do it. I don't know of any CCU stations that have used a Format Lab format in changing station formats, so I don't know the mechanism for doing that. I find myself listening to Format Lab often as I sit in cafes. Among my favorites at the moment are Undies (underground indies), and Vegas Gold, which is mostly lounge singers of yesterday and today. |

The problem is the "personalized" music services, such as Pandor, Slacker, and Last.FM which allow the listener to program their own "personalized" music stations. clearchannelmusic.com/hdradio just runs what some programmer thinks listeners want to hear, not listener chosen, personalized playlists. The playlists on terrestrial radio are chosen by listeners. Where the hell did you get THAT idea - laughable! Because listener research is used to determine the good and bad songs so stations can play the best ones. You really don't think that a station program director just makes up the list of songs to be played, do you? http://www.davidgleason.com/Radio%20Research.htmshows how this is done.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - This site is pretty handy.
