Huh? Apparently our blog has been labeled "Adult/Explicit" or some shit by Paideia's web-gate. I've tried to attach a picture, but I'm not sure it is going to work.

Anyway, the reason for this post is something that I imagine others have already played with, but maybe it will be novel to a few. Apple's Genius Bar in iTunes is a great way for them to push more content and therefore more money on you. It is very appealing sitting (optionally) right next to my other music. The better choice, especially having the Master Drive 2 is to use the Genius option when playing/selecting a song to get a playlist of "similar" songs from your library. With well over a bajillion songs on the master drive it produces some interesting results and can help you find songs you didn't remember (or never knew) you owned.

When I was thinking about it this morning I thought of an interesting application of the Genius playlist. I'll start today with one song selected and 20-25 songs added to the playlist from Genius. At the end of the day, whatever song I am on I select that and then make a new playlist from that song tomorrow. Rinse, Repeat, Reveal?

I'm thinking it is like a swivel/swing table (looking at you Brad, because I don't know what I just said). Where each link/playlist in the chain has one similarity in font and behind. I guess there is a chance to just swing around the same grouping of songs over and over again, depending on where I end up at the end of the day. But I'm kind of curious where the playlist will take me. Will I eventually be able to make the logical jump from Hip Hop to Funk, and then from Funk to Jazz? Is there someway that I can end up on an audiotrack from LoTR? If so, will I ever be able to get out? It kind of has an organic feel that might be pretty interesting.
