SPOTIFY appears to be testing a free personalized radio app—or, as every site that has written about it labels it, a "leanback" play that veers "into PANDORA's territory." The company offered a not-so-personalized no-comment to anyone who asked. I find it endlessly fascinating that the hunger for a programmed experience remains as strong as ever in this on-demand world. If anything, the more content, the more choices, the greater the need for a programmer's guiding hand. To put it another way, the bigger the park, the more park rangers you need. And if one day every ranger knows every visitor—which is the basic idea of personalized algorithms, right?—you could end up with one hell of a park. With all sorts of caveats, but we'll leave those for another day... Pandora, meanwhile, is restructuring, cutting 5 percent of its workforce and expanding its presence in ATLANTA, where it can operate at a lower cost than in OAKLAND, its corporate home... Has VANESSA CARLTON become the unlikely face of the IMPEACH NEIL PORTNOW movement? How strong is the movement? How many other women have, as Carlton casually mentions to VULTURE's DEE LOCKETT, "personally signed an NDA for someone who appeared on the Grammys"? And no, not the kind of NDA you sign when someone wants to show you their amazing new business idea... Dear ISRAELI teenagers suing two BDS activists for $13,000 for denying you your chance to see LORDE in concert: Maybe consider suing the RECORDING ACADEMY—which also denied you the chance to see Lorde—instead. The Academy has deeper pockets and you'll have a more sympathetic case... Still blaming JANET JACKSON all these years later. Special shoutout to CBS and the NFL, who, according to then-FCC chairman MICHAEL POWELL, immediately called the FCC to absolve themselves of blame. Way to stick up for the talent. Sincere shoutout to Powell, who tells USA TODAY, "I really wanted that [anger] to be directed away from JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and Janet Jackson as artists and more to... those who were broadcasting and producing the show.’’ In the end, the public anger landed squarely on Jackson anyway. Timberlake, on the other hand, has been invited by the NFL to promote his new album this Sunday, 14 years after the most infamous concert in sports history... This MIGOS song... This assessment of the MIGOS album as a chart-gaming "data dump"... CHARLIE WALK, accused by a second woman of inappropriate behavior (which he denies), placed on leave by REPUBLIC RECORDS. He'll appear on tonight's episode of FOX's THE FOUR, which was pre-taped, but says he'll skip next week's live season finale because "I do not want my presence to be a distraction"... MusicREDEF is taking an extended weekend; we'll be back in your inbox Monday morning... But Friday will still be FRIDAY, and that will mean new music from Timberlake, STEVE REICH, ANNA BURCH, MONTGOMERY GENTRY, RHYE, JULIAN LAGE, THE JAMES HUNTER SIX, FIELD MUSIC, RICH BRIAN, WING VILMA, GALACTIC MARVL, HOOKWORMS, YOUNG ECHO, SUNWATCHERS, SKYZOO, U-GOD, AWOLNATION, KEYS N KRATES, KYLE CRAFT, THE WOOD BROTHERS, EFRIM MANUEL MENUCK and JOHN OATES.
