Pandora now has classical music
The number one requested feature from Pandora users is the ability to Pandora-ize classical music, and well, it is here. For all you fans of the concerto, symphony, the sonata, and all the finer styles of music the world has to offer, Pandora has your audio fix ready to download into your ears in grand style. As with all previous Pandora ideas, you can type in the name of your favorite composer to create a station. Hard to say at this point just how much classical music is available, because it takes a while to classify all that music using the near 400 point genome scale. You will simply need to check that out for yourself, and let us know how you like it.
Who said you need smoke, mirrors, lights, and fancy stage antics to get music that is sublime? Well, open Pandora's music box, and you'll see what is possible.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

I think I read on the Pandora blog that they have 20,000 entries in their classical selection right now.
I know of no other service like Pandora that offers up a classical selection. Already it seem like a huge hit.
One thing with Pandora I've always found that it's difficult to discover a lot of new music and "get out of your rut" through their interface.
I created this Digg-style site for Pandora stations to help folks out in that area...

@ Joao Almeida & and all other Pandora-loving non-US world inhabitants:
With the use of Tor and Openpandora you can still enjoy Pandora outside of the US! Hooray!
Forget about the public proxy stuff, it isn't going to work (trust me on this, I've tried and wasted a lot of spare time because of it...).
Here you can find all the info:

Have fun (with Pandora again)!
PS: Be sure to download the newest version of Tor that comes bundled in vidalia. It's easier to use...

I can vouch for Tor working. I went a month without Pandora not working through proxies and then I found that same article on the openpandora blog. It takes a little while to load but it's worth it.
