It is hell listening to what Pandora thinks my coworker would like, musically.


I have not heard this much pop music since I was ten years old...

I mean seriously?? Janet Jackson!?!?!!! I thought Michael had eaten her back in 1996 to keep him forever young and white.

what the holy hell kind of bullshitery is this!!!

I have heard SUBLIME, Janet Jackson, Stevie Wonder, The BeeGees (I think) Chicago, Led Zeppelin (but she skipped it. *and the knife plunged deeply in my back*) the backstreet 98 degree boys....I think Pink, and then...oddly enough the Stooges.

it's like a psychotic monkey on Methadone is selecting her music.

OH god daaaaaamnit.

she is singing along to the Doobie brothers...China Grove....and those are NOT the lyrics...

holy hell -let this be a lesson to me...never EVER forget the ipod....damned garbage dudes...they came early and i had to take the trash outand I left my pretty pretty black music bank on the table next to my lunch which I am not so sorry to have left behind....DAMNIT!

    Man, that sucks. You have my sympathies.

    You should always keep a couple of PJ bootlegs or albums on your computer as back ups for such an occasion - think of it as contingency planning.

    Fight back man! Blast your own shit. Sing the wrong words loudly to Even Flow, Adam Sandler style.

    Seeqpod.com is a pretty cool site for streaming music, make yourself a playlist of music you love but she'll hate.

    nope - didn't diss, but I mean the mix up is giving me a headache...I just heard woodie guthrie! in a mix with Britney Spears...

    the randomness is scaring me. hahaa

    I don't have speakers on my computer - because I have too many other applications that need plug ins... cheap ass work computers! hahahaa

    I think she doesn't understand how Pandora works...she should be rating music and thus - a pattern will emerge.

    yes!

    I can't believe how much good music she "pans" on!!!


    she passed up 2 AIC songs...it's like someone is stabbing me repeatedly in the ears with a dull plastic butter knife.

    Probably because she doesn't know who AIC are. Led Zeppelin though, if you like some of their songs, you're obviously a rock chick and get to wear the best clothes and have the best attitude and you're different from the rest... and I'm not grumpy at all! ;):o:D

    ...or maybe she just likes music that she knows... :)

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    the music they play at my gym is far worse than that. at least those are all kind "classic" pop songs. I don't know *what* is going on at my gym. I've got that umbrella song, and I heard something that I'm guessing is Daughtry...Avril Lavigne, Ashlee Simpson, really horrible, horrible hip hop, some WICKED annoying song that goes "does the DJ know what he's doing to me?" (this song I thought would be sung by some teenage girl, but I looked at the tv, and it was like a 30 year old woman), horrible, horrible "rock" music- I don't even know what on earth it is. Like there was song about girl catching a wave or something? It's just all around BAD. I think 6th or 7th graders would probably enjoy it, which is fine, but hello CHILDREN DO NOT GO TO THE GYM! Everyone there is over 18, and I'm sure MOST people are over 22 (the college kids nearby have free gyms on campus). sometimes it's so loud, I have to take off my headphones because I just can't fight it volume wise.

    It is absolutely fantastic. I can't listen to anything else anymore. You pick the artists, they give you suggestions on artists you may also like, they play all of the albums, no commercials, and the sound quality is stellar :)

    Some people aren't so selective and have a wide range of musical taste. We all have guilty pleasures. Just thank God that she wasn't listening to Nickelback all day.
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.

    I completely sympathize. About a month ago I was doing some temp work and I was in a file room just filing papers. We we're allowed to play music and my first day, no one volunteered to play music. So I hooked up my IPOD and have at it. About 3 hours go by and no one complains and we have a few people singing along, except this one hell of a bitch who tells me I listen to honky music, by the way I'm brown and this is coming from a black person. Ironically, Jimi Hendrix is playing and another co-worker points out that this artist is black, and she replied he's not really black.

    And even though I'm brown, I turned red in anger at such a ignorant response.

    I asked her what she listens to and she said Club music, you know Trance, progressive, and anything I can dance to. I replied, so Shitty Music.

    The rest of my time there was dedicated to making her life a living hell, by always playing my music.

    By the way she tried to play a CD and our boss came in and asked who put on this crap? And mentioned how he enjoyed coming in more often then he should and hearing awesome music.

    And apparently when I left to go to a full time job, she was shit talking the whole time about me...she ended up getting fired.
