Pandora

Sorry I didn't post much this week, but I'm back to posting every evening!

I went to the movies with my friend, Kayla, and then I slept at her house.  One thing about Kayla is she loves Pandora.

The popular music app allows you to select a "station" for, let's say, your favorite band.  For example, I would have a station called "One Direction."  The station then plays songs by your selected artist and/or similar artists.  The "One Direction" station always played a little bit of One Direction, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, etc...

Even though my friend does like different bands than I do, the stations she has selected all play really good songs that I find very good.  She has stations for Panic! at the Disco, Lana Del Rey, Relient K, and several more that all play catchy songs.

But, there's always a catch with apps like these.  If you don't like a song that is playing, you do have the ability to skip over the song.  Pandora only gives you a certain number of skips in a specified time frame.  If you don't like a song at all and never want to hear it come up again, you have the ability to hit the "thumbs down" button.  Pandora only gives you a certain number of dislikes in a specified time frame.  It is also possible to not be allowed to listen because you have "reached your maximum number of songs."  Please, ma'am.
