Sometime around January of 2008 one of our friends who knows a ton about music online told us that she thinks we should be on Pandora. Kristen was absolutely right of course. About a week later Kristen told us that her friend at Pandora had told her that we were already on Pandora. Wow - what great news - we are bigger than we thought (every bands dream surely).
Soon though we realized that the band Buddaheads is on Pandora and not us. So, we read the instructions on the site and submitted our music. Weeks later Jasmyn contacted us to say they had in fact received it. Weeks later Jasmyn contacted us to say we were being considered but that there were no promises. Weeks later still Jasmyn said we will be on Pandora in about 6-8 weeks, and 6-8 weeks later we were told two more weeks would have to pass before their super computer, Big Pandy, would be able to analyze our music. Two weeks later Jasmyn apologized and mentioned that Big Pandy was having some technical issues and another week is needed.
So here we are at the top of that week and awaiting our final appearance on Pandora. Who would Big Pandy say we sound like. Radiohead? YES! Collective Soul? Not so yes. Fingers have been crossed for the last 6 hours until this news popped into my mail box.
Dear Tim Westergren (founder of Pandora) and Big Pandy, please stay afloat - I need to know how an unemotional machine will analyze Buddahead. Who do we sound like?
