What is up with Pandora, and is there an Alternative?

Pandora has been the theater arts up lately. I go to pandora.com, and everything on the page loads perfectly except for the actual radio. It just stays as a white box.

I was wondering if anyone else had these problems…they’ve been going on for about 4 days. I miss Pandora…and I want to listen to my music again.

(Pandora is an online radio, in which you can enter your favorite band or song, and it will play songs that have the same musical qualities.)

I found my favorite song of all time on here, and I just can’t seem to find another site that is safe, and simple to use lika Pandora.

I wish I may maybe get it fixed, or find a new site until Pandora fixes itself. If you have a site you go to, it would be appreciated if you would share it.
Thankies!
Always.

They Might Be Giants Biography
HERE COMES SCIENCE!

For alternative rock legends They Might Be Giants, rave reviews from the likes of Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, Pitchfork, NPR and beyond might not be that unexpected, but we’re not talking about their fixed gig here. Sure, TMBG have sold millions of records, are multi-Grammy winners and have even composed a musical accompaniment for an entire issue of McSweeney’s, but these most recent accolades are for the work TMBG has made for children and–as the reviews attest–no additional band swings as fluently from adult music to children's fare and back again with the artistic and commercial success of They Might Be Giants.

John Flansburgh and John Linnell’s latest CD/DVD is Here Comes Science (Idlewild/Disney Sound). It’s an ultra-vivid crash course through topics that in lesser hands may maybe easily place kids to sleep. With rock anthems and electronic goodies crafted to amuse, intrigue and deliver the 4-1-1 on evolution, solar system, photosynthesis, the scientific method and more. Later Here Comes the ABCs and Here Come the 123s, Science is geared for older kids and it introduces thoughts in a way that not only inform but will stay in your head forever.

While it may seem like an odd go for a duo recognized as the progenitors of the American alternative rock movement, it really all makes perfect sense. From their earliest days with Dial-A-Song through their online music distribution, TMBG have always challenged rock’s reputation quo and gone out of their way to take their music to groundbreaking new audiences, and by the looks of things, they're having a lot of fun doing it their way. The Giants use every bit of fan interactive technology by connecting with kids via fixed podcasts and including a DVD of delightful animated interpretations of their songs with each Here Comes… album.

The band is constantly working on new music, new projects and touring–sometimes with 2 shows a day. Founders John Flansburgh and John Linnell, along with their long permanent live combo of Dan Miller, Danny Weinkauf and Marty Beller, show no signs of swapping one successful gig (adult music) for another (children's music). Rejoice public of Earth–there's just that much more for us all to delight in.

Question: You once said in an interview that TMBGs knew what you didn't want to do with your music geared for kids: You didn't want to tell them how to perform or write songs that are learning. But these songs are reasonably learning, and in fact, you have a science consultant on this record. Did you make a conscious choice to really teach something on Here Comes Science?

John Linnell: I reckon it's still a record you can listen to for enjoyment, and that's real vital to us. I am perfectly comfortable with the thought of something that is pure entertainment, but I don't reckon there is any need for something just purely learning from us. My sense of this record is that it is mostly fun, musical and fascinating and it happens to have lyrics that talk about science.

Question: Did any Children's books or albums make an impression on you when you were a child? Because now you're making that impression on children.

John Flansburgh: We get that question a lot, and it's a valid question, but speaking for for myself, I feel like we have something to contribute to kid’s music because what we’re doing is really lacking in the general culture. Generally, our stuff is not really coming out of any incredible experience with the kid’s stuff from the past. Our childhood was during the really golden era of classic pop and singles. Persons songs weren’t really calculated for kids, but the power of it spoke to us and a lot of additional kids reasonably directly.

Curiously–even if I see the obvious relations–we didn't really grow up with all of the progressive kids stuff of the 70′s. We were that micro generation of glitziness-rock young teens listening to Alice Cooper and David Bowie and we really missed the boat on Sesame Street and School House Rock and Free To Be You and Me. But even life a bit too ancient for it, you may maybe tell there was something cool about that stuff. Basically the cartoons of our generation were any super-violent, like Spiderman, or the really simple-minded Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

Question: Which one of you was the science student? Any or you? Neither of you?

J. Linnell: Particularly into science? I would say we were both middling students in school, but philosophically we are both, as adults, very pro-science. We like living in the post-enlightenment era in history. Are we still living in the enlightenment or is it over now, I can't tell? Are we in the "en-darkenment" now?

J. Flansburgh: I reckon we're really in to the "gee whiz" part of science–all the scientific phenomenon that sparks your imagination. We certainly aren’t academics, but there is something remarkable about the world of science and there are thoughts in science that just send your mind reeling.

J. Linnell: One the things that is exciting about it is that it makes you realize that things that are right, that can be proven, aren't always intuitive. There is a difference between what seems to be the case and what turns out to be proven to be the case, and that's really exciting. The world isn't always what it seems to be and it makes everything more wonderful in a way. You have an experience of the world, walking around, and then science provides knowledge about the world that is not always anything like the experience.

The history of scientific discovery is partly revealing things that you don't always experience directly, it's bizarre in a way that so much of what we know is stuff we can't always experience directly, like molecules and galaxies.

Question: Does that make it simpler or harder to write about Science?

J. Linnell: Well, both. There is a point that you do reflect that you're trying to clarify something preposterous. And luckily, I reckon kids know the whole world is weird and preposterous, but as they get older, they get used to the thought that there are facts they just have to take someone's word for.

Question: Considering you guys once used an answering machine to show case your material, how amazed are you that you have all of this media at your disposal – podcasts, internet, record, etc…how has it changed the way you work?

J. Flansburgh: We loved having an simple-brisk, baggy reputation in terms of getting our music out to public. It was very fantastic to be the one of the few acts in the United States who wasn't preoccupied with getting on the radio or a cash restore on our music. Of course now there is nearly no end to the free stuff, and it is cool to see how much you can get in to the world, but with the most well loved videos on YouTube life cats jumping into a box or public getting pushed down escalators, part of me worries that all this electronic media is just in the service of turning our culture into an endless episode of America's Most amusing Home Videos.

J. Linnell: A lot of what the technology suggests to public is the democratizing of culture and the notion of interactivity kind of caught fire online early on. What's eerie for John and I is that we were never interested in any one of persons things. We really like the thought of controlling what we are doing and we like the ancient fashioned thought of there life quality control on culture, that you would get the "excellent stuff" and there would be a way, through a critical apparatus or institutions, that would deliver the excellent stuff and filter out the terrible stuff. It feels like the huge conundrum nowadays is that everything should be available to everyone at all times and the result is a lot of garbage to wade through…not to sound like an 80 year ancient man! (laughs)

Question: With your accompanying DVD, how did the directors and animators come collectively? Are they the same public from Here Come the 123s? How much creative control do you give the animators with your songs?

J. Flansburgh: We are the producers on all the animated material and we select the artists we collaborate with pretty carefully. We’ve been involved in a lot of television and record projects over the years and that was very excellent training for these projects. There is an expression in rock record production: "Excellent. Quick. Cheap. Choose two" It's a very unreasonable business to expect everything to come collectively on a tight budget. Our strategy is to give the animators a relatively long lead time so they can do something that will be a excellent portfolio piece for them and something cool for us. And even if we're on a tight budget, we can offer a large amount of artistic freedom, and that gives us the opportunity to work with the most creative public out there.

Question: For this tour, you're doing both "kid" and "adult" shows, sometimes 2 in one day. How is it different when you perform in front of kids versus when you perform in front of adults?

J. Flansburgh: Whatever pretensions you might have about your performance get really re-calibrated when you're before a live audience for kids–before a live audience a kid show is probably a bit quicker to life a school teacher than life a rock star. There are also a lot of parents in the audience and we address them as well which kind of breaks forth the wall of "kiddie-ness."

Just to address the questions we always get: "how is it different writing a song for kids or writing for adults?" or "the theater for kids and the theater for adults?" Well, there is a real overlap, but there are meaningful differences too. A excellent song works in a way that is kind of irreducible whether or not it's for kids or adults. If a song has a strong melody or an fascinating thought, it will animate any audience, but in performance, kids have a really small attention span, so keeping things moving is vital. Routinely the confetti machine gets the largest response of the day. That will keep your ego in check.

Even if in the past, "Clap your Hands" and "Alphabet of Nations" worked for adults, by and large the kid stuff stayed in the kid show just because it’s, well, for kids! (laughs). But with "Here Comes Science" a lot of the songs work excellent in the adult show. and that's unusual. "Meet the Elements," "My Brother the Ape," "A Shooting Star is not a Star," and "Why Does the Sun Shine" slid into the adult show without any second thoughts, and "I Am a Paleontologist" is really rocking live.

Question: What's next for They Might Be Giants?

J. Flansburgh: We're working on a rock album right now, but we have so much touring interrupting our effort it’s hard to know when it will get done, so the real answer is we’re going to be spending a lot of time on a tour bus trying to map out how to get the WiFi working!

Our children's book collaboration with Pascal Campion, Kids Go, just came out at the end of last year on Simon & Schuster. It’s really a very gorgeous project and a fulfillment of a dream of mine. When we were approached, I wanted to do an actual picture book, which very few public get to do, and it was exciting to realize that dream. A excellent picture book is something that really stays with you.

No – Yahoo doesn’t have any contests like this at all. This is a phishing email – you can tell because athough it says you’ve won, it doesn’t call you by your name at all. It’s also full of grammatical errors. Just delete this or click Spam in your Inbox to report it as such.
