In other words, Slacker is free satellite radio. There are eleven electronic/dance channels! Thirteen alternative! All programmed by experts! With supposedly fringe genres featuring a plethora of choices. But rather than going on a bizarre adventure, creating a lame station that frustrates you, you can PICK A STATION ON SLACKER! They’ve got sixteen rock outlets. Jackson is music for the mind, Journey is music for the MINDLESS!īut Slacker? That’s a whole ‘nother thing. Huh? If Browne fans weren’t so mellow, they’d kill Journey fans, at least pooh-pooh them. Was flummoxed when a Jackson Browne station I created delivered a Journey song. I laugh when people e-mail me about Pandora. As for building another station… You mean you want me to start ALL OVER? That’s how it works on Pandora… You insert an artist, and then say yay or nay, and hope that you don’t bump up against the skip limit. I know someone who’s invested 200 hours in creating ONE Pandora station! Removing all the crap so the results are ear-pleasing. I’m not sure computer-compiled radio is the future, but the fact that bozos listen to Pandora illustrates to me that you can sell crap to the public, because people are too dumb to know any better.
