Tomorrow, December 18th, is Michael Moorcock’s birthday. I’m spending my winter break re-reading a bunch of his novels, and put together a Pandora station with appropriate background music to read by. Radio Free Tanelorn was seeded with music directly connected to Moorcock, including Hawkwind, The Deep Fix, Robert Calvert, Blue Öyster Cult, and Pink Faires. As usual, Pandora does well with more popular genres, but not some much with obscure ones; it doesn’t understand the concept of “space rock”, and struggles with psychedelia and progressive rock as well. Even after some prolonged editing via the thumbs down button it still occasionally throws some weird tracks in there, but it’s pretty much solid, head-trippy 70s post-hippie, pre-metal guitar rock.
NOTE: I’m informed that folks outside the United States aren’t able to access Pandora. Sorry!
Gutted! Pandora is not available to those outside the United States. I was looking forward to a bit of Radio Free Tanelorn
