Rhythm and Algorhythm

iTunes has this fun feature called the Genius Playlist. Select a song you like and ask the program to create a playlist based off that song from your entire library. Obviously, the larger and more diverse your collection, the better this feature works. But with a little tweaking, you get some good mix tapes, as we elderly folk call them.

Listening to my favorites folder, and Harvey Danger's Flagpole Sitta came on. I thought I'd see what I'd get with the Genius picking the mix. Pretty good set list:

1. Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger


2. The Way - Fastball


3. It's All Been Done - Barenaked Ladies


4. Cannonball - The Breeders


5. Hook - Blues Traveler


6. Then The Morning Comes - Smash Mouth


7. Changes - David Bowie


8. Party Hard - Andrew W.K.


9. Love Rollercoaster - Red Hot Chili Peppers


10. Always Something There To Remind Me - Naked Eyes


11. Wake Up- Rage Against The Machine


12. The Promise - When In Rome


13. Brian Wilson - Barenaked Ladies


14. Pump It Up - Elvis Costello


15. Devil's Haircut - Beck


16. Sleeping In - Postal Service


17. What's The Frequency, Kenneth? - R.E.M.


18. Our Lips Are Sealed - The Go-Go's


19. Burning Down the House - Talking Heads


20. Pinch Me - Barenaked Ladies


21. Can't Get Enough Of You Baby - Smash Mouth


22. Rebel, Rebel - David Bowie


23. Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil


24. All The Young Dudes - Mott The Hoople


25. And She Was - Talking Heads

One of those was a song I'd never heard before, Sleeping In by the Postal Service. The joys of kshandra and me sharing the iTunes account. Not complaining at all.
