If you guys don't know what Pandora is, it's a website that plays songs based on bands you like. The idea is that you get to hear a bunch of bands that you might actually like in a radio type format. Most of the time it's really neat, but the TMBG station I have is just plain odd. Smashing Pumpkins? The Killers? Marcy Playground? It plays some songs that I like, but none of them seem to be related to TMBG in any way. It that because they're so hard to categorize? I suspect it might be the case.

Well now they're playing 500 Miles by The Proclaimers. They're getting closer!

i love 500 miles.
i think you hit the nail on the head when you speculated that they're hard to categorize. you can't put TMBG in a box.
did you ever try Sir Mixalot yet?

I'm a sucker for The Proclaimers at least their getting closer though...
I always get weird results when I search TMBG, the music "I might also like" is never close at all I think you're right about them being hard to categorize

Mine used to play Cake sometimes, but now it just seems to play The Misfits and The Ramones. I have no idea why.

Well the TMBG station was there when I got there, so somebody else in this house started it! Pandora's fun, but it does play a lot of the same songs over and over again. Luckily I've got about 50 stations to chose from now.

it must have been Nathan, cuz Dad had no idea what i was talkin about when i asked him just now. unless I made it, & then forgot.
i'm not too big on radio in general though... there's something about the total lack of control on my part that bugs me i guess.
