»In which we only have this excerpt

I am listening to "Kill the Poor (Live)" by the Dead Kennedys, from a record I have not heard in years, because, "Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features punk roots, a subtle use of vocal harmony, mild rhythmic syncopation, major key tonality and electric guitar riffs." Thanks to Pandora, which programs internet broadcasts selected especially for me (or for you), and has some amount of collaborative filtering and personalization. Yuck! Now they are playing Stiff Little Fingers.
This all started out with my trying to stump the personalization engine. I seeded it with legitimate but obscure musicians: Bonzo Dog Band, Cornelius Cardew. But these did not lead anywhere, and it was'n't until I stuffed in "No Xmas For John Quays" that it leapt into life, and started playing an old song by The Fall (you know how some broadcast radio stations devolve to a gimmick of playing all Elvis, or all John Denver, for a week? I could play All Fall All The Time. For months. In fact, I could have a long weekend dedicated to versions of Cruisers Creek.) Every time I give the 'thumbs-down' to a song, the radio falls back to playing The Fall, which is fine by me. It has stuck in several new (to me, at least) artists, and has handy "buy this from iTunes" and "buy this from Amazon" widgets built into the nifty little Flash-based player.
