I'll guess 'Peeping Tom'. I feel your pain with Pandora, MF, but I've gotta say that overall they get a thumbs up from me.

I found this here: Vamping is essentially the repeating of a section of a song — such as a chorus, verse or (rarely) a bridge — one or more times to create space in the tune. Why would you do this? Maybe to extend a tune out, create space for a couple players to take solos or maybe just because the audience is having fun dancing and it’d be a shame to make them stop. Vamps are sometimes called jams (although jam usually connotes less structure). Sometimes a vamp happens at the end of a song — say to accommodate a fade-out — but short vamps can easily happen in the middle of tunes. In live performance, bands usually return to the head, main theme or chorus one last time after a vamp before ending a tune. The underlying form is usually dictated by the song, but many elements of a particular vamp are improvised and spontaneous. Extensive vamping means that the balance of a section or an entire tune is taken up with vamping. For instance, many standards are pretty short songs (often just 32 to 64 bars), so if you hear one of those tunes played for, say, six minutes, that’s a good candidate for the extensive vamping tag. But, basically, extensive vamping can refer to any time a listener thinks, "Oh, the band has gone off on its own now; this isn’t actually part of the tune." Sometimes this can happen in as little as four bars! By the way, the bit of Pandora lingo that struck me as funny was mild rhythmic syncopation, which is like saying "a mildly woody tree." In music, you can’t have syncopation without rhythm (although you can have rhythm without syncopation).

Fantomas... Vamping is repeating a section until somebody's done masturbating/soloing/what have you.

David Yow = Unintelligible Vocal Delivery. It was Jesus Lizard. I feel like I've been pretty good as of late from keeping the Patton mentions to a minimum. I like Pandora very much, for the record. Chani's blasting me from all sides with the 'unlistenable' and 'masturbatory' comments as of late - oh well - walked right into it I 'spose. (For the record I love the Steely Dan - but their masturbatoriness has to be at least on a par level of the stuff Im getting. Take that Fagen!)
