Genius Playlists

[MCMGM]

K, I've been screwing around with this feature on itunes.

For those of you who don't know what it is, Genius is this feature where you highlight a song in your library and click the Genius button on the bottom of the itunes window, it takes that song and finds other songs that "go" with it. It is pretty cool.

Here's my current playlist:

Real Life - Joan As Policewoman
I Know It's Over (Garbage Can Tape) - Jeff Buckley
In The Lost And Found - Elliott Smith
15 Step - Radiohead
Date With The Night - The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Serve the Servants - Nirvana
Swing on This - Alice in Chains
Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing
Go With The Flow - Queens Of The Stone Age
White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
Ex-Girlfriend - No Doubt
Hurt - Nine Inch Nails
Save Me - Joan As Policewoman
Song to the Siren - Tim Buckley
Je N'En Connais Pas la Fin - Jeff Buckley
Angel In The Snow - Elliott Smith
Every You Every Me - Placebo
Nutshell (Unplugged) - Alice In Chains
Slow Like Honey - Fiona Apple
Territorial Pissings - Nirvana
Ship Of Fools - The Doors
Game Of Life - Joan As Policewoman
Whale & Wasp - Alice in Chains
We All Fall in Love Sometimes - Jeff Buckley
Inca Roads - Frank Zappa

What'cha got?

But of course Apple will now claim they invented it.

Yeah, you have to have an itunes store account for it to work. Which I don't. Looking forward to seeing some others' playlists though
