The new Bassnectar album is on Pandora! #MusicMonday Lately, I’ve been wondering how rapidly new releases are making it to Pandora, as I have yet to hear the latest work of some of my favorite artists on the service (e.g. Moby or Imogen Heap). This is puzzling to me, because it is at odds with Pandora making such a case for itself as a music discovery service, because new album release would feed their affiliate business pretty well, and because radios have always been about pushing the latest beats. Anyway, there isn’t any information on that topic on the Pandora site and I believe this would be worth the consideration of their Pandora One subscribers.
