I never did Waits...I should, but I figured it would just be him & Leonard Cohen over & over again.

I love pandora, but sometimes they completely drop the ball. the last time I tried Mojo Nixon - Mojo, Dead Milkmen, Dead Kennedys...and that's it. just because the Milkmen mentioned Mojo in 1 song, and Jello worked with him a little bit does not mean they are similar.

i can always listen to the Fugazi station because all they play besides Fugazi are Jesus Lizard, Don Cab and Birthday Party.

A band popped up called "SG Sound" that I liked so much that tried it as a station and it's pretty awesome.

Don't try the Mr. Bungle station unless you really dig Primus

The Velvet Underground is nice to listen to but it's not great for finding new music

the Nino Rota station is pretty good. Miles Davis is good, but i made a station out of his "Generique" and it's much better. the Yma Sumac station is getting better lately.

sometimes their info is incorrect, especially with live albums.

So far I'm really loving all the music from the "Gert Wilden & Orchestra" station but remember to put in that last part or you'll get a bunch of awesome gay 70's disco.

I'll try the Yma tomorrow- Thanks puppy

Lingus- you would go crazy for the David Allen and the Arrows station.
It's a lot of 60's surf motorcycle go-go explotion film music.

Link Wray pops up a few times

the Chris Montez station totally does that. the same thing happens with Diamanda Galas, Billy Stewart and Elysian Fields from time to time.

i like the Soft Machine station for working, too.

Great stations that I didn't have to do any filtering on:

- The Kinks
- The B-52's

both play a huge variety of artists, but keep in step with the original seed.

Don't do Johnny Cash unless you really want to hear three artists on repeat.

this piece of advice applies for next time no doubt, but...
what shall I do to the ignored during the space of time in between?
