So, I was using Pandora again the other day (I know, I know!! But it’s easy and I’m lazy!). I was outside giving my nice big grill (barbeque for all you non-Americans) it’s first clean of the new year. It was a beautiful spring day and the time seemed right so there I was.
Anyway, I had the laptop outside listening to the Lloyd Cole & The Commotions station on Pandora. Lloyd asked me his age old question as to whether I was ready to be heart broken, leading me to think about Camera Obscura (the wee twee Scots). “I really like Camera Obscura” I said to myself, as if I didn’t know, and continued to clean the grill.
Next up was Half A Person by The Smiths, I had forgotten how wonderful this song is, making the Pandora hate fade and then surge back as my predictability again shone forth. The funny thing is that Pandora then went on to play like six Smiths / Morrissey songs in a row, causing me to wonder if maybe I had changed the station. Let’s face it, if I had set up a Morrissey / Smiths station it would have played anything but Morrissey and The Smiths right? Thankfully Forest Fire then came a blasting through the speakers and I knew I was back in Lloyd land.
So, is Pandora as evil as I thought? Well, yes. But even evil things can be appreciated as bloody clever. My love / hate relationship with this IE shortcut on my desktop shall continue to evolve I suppose.
