Boomer Music - Your Own Radio Station
You've got this favorite song, it replays in your head - over and over. Yeah, you love it, but make it go away! Perhaps it's the melody, a particular beat or instrumental quality that implants itself in the music lobe of your brain - where it gets top billing.
Now, thanks to Pandora, you can not only hear your favorite song, but listen to an endless stream of other songs with similar qualities. For you Aging Hipsters out there who want to discover music (new and old) that puts you in a single groove, this is the place. It's your "personal DJ"
From the Pandora FAQ:
"Pandora is a music discovery service designed to help you find and enjoy music that you'll love. It's powered by the Music Genome Project, the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken. Just tell us one of your favorite songs or artists and we'll launch a streaming station to explore that part of the music universe."
"We take your input (artists, songs) and feedback ("I like this", "I don't like this") and use the Music Genome Project to create stations that play songs that are musically similar to what you've told us. That's it; only the music counts. We don't care how popular the artist is, who's backing them, and we don't care which genre bin they usually belong in. Only the music matters."

Yes,
I agree that Boomers should have radio shows. Why is it we don't have more???? NPR had "Been there, done that". Is that still on?
I have just started my own podcast and am trying to find ways to get ideas from the Boomer Audience.
And I'm trying to get an audience. Any ideas. I like your site, but I get a little confused about where to go.

Although Pandora does a reasonable job of matching music to ones particular taste it still rolls out complete mismatches way too often. Try Musicovery.com as it is more mood based and makes less of an attempt at providing a "sounds-like" atmosphere. Also visit my blog at http://www.pampelmoose.com to discover new music in my weekly podcast. Just because we are boomers we don't need the AARP trying to foist their musical tastes upon us.....
