Roll Up For The Mystery Tour
23 Jul 2008 8:24am GMT In this week's video, we return to the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus and hear more from the engineers who live, sleep, eat and breathe recording and music education. Mind you, "sleep" was no exaggeration; they sleep in the vocal booth ten months out of the year. It's quite a sacrifice to make this project work, but this lifestyle also makes the engineers a tight-knit team of audio wizards. Power to the people, Kevin

We'd love to feature a few listeners doing the same -- offering personal testimonials on why they love internet radio and why they feel it's important for this industry to survive.

Hopping aboard the Lennon Bus
17 Jul 2008 1:37am GMT Here at Pandora, we're all about music in the schools, and ways to bolster public music education. That's one reason we were thrilled to meet the people at the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus. Here's a video we made about this mobile studio, which visits high schools across North America teaching kids about recording and songwriting. These young engineers, who both live and work in this studio on wheels, are doing amazing work. John Lennon would be proud. We also have the conclusion to...
