I don’t know why I enabled the Genius feature in iTunes, but I did. This is what apple.com says about Genius:

Meet Genius: a brilliant way to create perfect playlists. Play a song, click the Genius button, and iTunes creates a playlist of other songs from your library that go great together. Genius playlists help you discover songs in your library you never knew you had — and rediscover forgotten favorites. http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatsnew/

I accidentally click on Genius a lot. I think it’s when I’m ejecting my iPod from within iTunes. If I double (or triple) click, when the iPod ejects it seems to immediately go into Genius. Anyway, I was syncing/ejecting my iPod this morning, accidentally opened Genius, and saw this:

If you don't know why this is funny, you most definitely don't live in Texas.

Please excuse the lack of metadata on track one. I got a ton of music from my Dad and the metadata was a mess. Although he claims all the mp3s were “fine” on his PC and it must be my Mac. I’m trying to update all the information for the tracks, but it’s really time consuming. I have it down to under 50 now, and I started with hundreds and hundreds.

I love Netflix’s recommender system because it comes up with the most bizarre categories, like:

Aren't all weddings emotional?  I mean, SOMEONE must emote SOMETHING at every wedding.

Aren't all weddings emotional? I mean, SOMEONE must emote SOMETHING at every wedding.

I also love that somehow Father of the Bride and Rachel Getting Married constitute a category. There are white puffy high top sneakers in Father of the Bride, father-daughter basketball games, and a narrator for goodness sake. Rachel Getting Married is an emotional movie, and there is a wedding, but I don’t know that it’s an emotional wedding movie. Still, I love that Netflix created this category, and you should too because you got to read 100 words of me blathering on about it!
