Ben Joined: Feb 11, 2007 Posts: 591 Encinitas, Ca	Posted on Mar 15 2008 06:59 PM It's funny you mention this....My brother has Pandora and we usually listen to it when I'm over at his house. Recently, we have noticed that their "surf" playlist now includes much more skater and agro-punk type stuff. Also, a lot of noise/metal with lyrics. We click on the "thumbs down" or "thumbs up" as appropriate. Top

I have a Mermen radio station, and it feeds me all kinds of interesting stuff: DaiKaiJu, Mercury Program, Man or Astro Man, sort of a blend of Surf (some very traditional, Link Wray, etc) and Post Rock. I thought if I started with Slacktone, Tomorrowmen, etc, it would get me a real modern surf station. — https://gnarlymen.bandcamp.com/ Top
websurfer Joined: May 14, 2007 Posts: 1753	Posted on Jul 02 2013 05:15 PM I created a channel called "Dick Dale", but if I don't stay on top of it, it wants to evolve to rockabilly. They are heavy on the "Legends of Surf" comp which is nice. For modern, cuts from The Looney Tunes album, "Cool Surfin'" get played regularly. Top

How many plays do I need to get my postage back? I don't know what the details are, but on the Pandora site they ask for a CD. I assume they do their "DNA analysis" of it, and put it in rotation. I also assume they PAY ROYALTIES, as they've been complaining that they're paying higher royalties than FM Radio, and Satellite radio is compelled to. Shouldn't be long before you get your postage back, and sell more CD's as well. — https://gnarlymen.bandcamp.com/ Top

First of all, one has to have an officially released physical CD that is available for sale on Amazon. Then, I believe it is one or two songs that you submit. They review these and send you an approval or denial message. There is much controversey over this process, as there doesn't appear to be any consistent rhyme or reason as to how they pick artists from what are submitted.Pandora is a strange entity. — THE KBK ...

jdmcduders Joined: Jan 14, 2013 Posts: 140 Indianapolis, IN	Posted on Jul 25 2013 08:01 AM I started a Mermen/MoAM station about 7 years ago and its my go to but I've also had to add Dick Dale so it would stay in a surf realm and not just give me post rock instrumentals. That being said after some work its a great station and I become fans of bands due to what I have heard on there. Top

You release an album on the retail level. You submit your songs. They approve it or they don't. — THE KBK ... This is the last known signal.
