I have on one of my pandora stations — sort of set up with a few “stations” for the genres of country and jazz and blues – there I feel like putting that on — and a few pretty interchangable rock stations, necessary to click away when pandora throws into an inescapable rut.  (I’d think there would be some lines of demarcation for sub-genre, but that doesn’t seem to work in practice.)  So, pandora goes from Talking Heads’s “Who Is It?”, left on.  Next comes a particularly bad David Bowie song — nothing wrong with David Bowie, but this particular Bowie track — “Sound and Vision” —  grates at me.  So I give it the thumbs-down.  Pandora then goes to… Talking Heads… “Memories Can’t Wait (Live)”.  It’s weird how when pandora is scolded, it back-tracks to the safest position.
