The Music(al) G-nome.

The Music Genome Project. 
If you've ever listened to Pandora, you know what I am talking about.
It's the magic engine that sorts and supplies us with song.
Have you ever stopped to exactly who or what is behind it?

What mysteries are veiled in those few words? 
Is it G as in Gangster? 
Nome as in Alaska? 
Is this a corruption of "gnome"? 
Could we, in fact, be interacting with a Mythical Species? 
Or simply A Literal Phonetic Speaker?
Are gnomes generally known to be patrons of the arts?
What sets this particular musical gnome from the tundra/projects apart?
And is that a rhetorical question?

The world may never know... 
More highly scientific/speculative research is obviously required in this very important field.
