Today's iPod Genius Playlist

I'm not sure my Tivo thinks I'm gay, but probably vampire obsessed.  I'm currently watching (or waiting to watch) True Blood, Buffy & Angel. Given I think electronics are smarter than we give them credit for ... my Tivo probably also knows I'm reading The Sookie Stackhouse Books (one can't quite get enough of Vampire Bill) and listening to the Twilight series on audio book (finished Breaking Dawn yesterday).  Add Dexter, and maybe it thinks I'm a serial killer? Add Bones and I've got a "thing" for death ... or something. But, I digress ...

Keeping w/ the theme of having my electronics tell me what I like - enter Genius Mix on my iTunes/iPod. Granted, it doesn't suggest music I might also like (a la Pandora) but does mix-up the music I do have into shuffled mixes that I of course like a lot, because they use the music I already have. I'm presently impressed with my iPod's ability to put together songs that are certainly of the same genre, but which I might not have put together myself.

My current Genius Mix titled "Brit Pop Mix" has played in the following order ...

  1. Coldplay - A Message

  2. Dave Matthew's Band - The Best of What's Around

  3. The Fray - Hundred

  4. John Mayer - Bigger than my Body

  5. David Grey - This Year's Love

  6. James Blunt - High

  7. R.E.M. - Holiday ... had to skip past this one, love R.E.M. but this isn't my fave

  8. Matthew Ryan - Hold On Firefly

  9. The Shins - New Slang (the song that will change your life)

  10. John Mayer - No Such Thing
