I fired up Pandora for this first time outside of work. Set up my laptop in my living room and rocked out while I cleaned up after breakfast. Addiction experts would now say that I have a “problem.”
I’ve also noticed something. I’ve set up about 10 “channels” that were launched by specifying the bands I like. Since tuning in, I am far more likely to skip over my so-called favorite bands in favor of the great new stuff Pandora brings me. I never expected that to happen. Maybe I should write Pandora and ask “is this normal?”
Interesting. While working on the beach house (which is sans stereo), we spent many a weekend with a laptop propped up in the middle of the room streaming Pandora as loud as the little speakers could blast it. We, too, ended up bypassing the stations we created for ones that were Pandora-inspired.
