Remain Attentive!

So I’ve been using Pandora at work f0r music a lot. Very fun. I like mixing and matching in a single station. I had an MIA/Scary Monsters-era Bowie/Daft Punk/Annie station going that I quite liked-but eeevil lurked within.

I got up to go to the mailroom, and when I got back I saw that the most recent previously played song was by R. Kelly. “Bump and Grind”. WTF? And of course I didn’t get a chance to press the button “for the love of god please please please as long as I have ears never play this song again.”

I’m looking forward to the Color Me Badd song that will be cued up by the evil robot Pandora mind in, oh, about an hour or so?

    I agree. I think you’re just trapped in the closet… of lame!

    I guess it’s not the Bump N Grind per se but just the out of context-ness. E.g., as if someone had their DMX station and got Belle and Sebastian served up. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
