Genius? I don’t think so.
iTunes claims to have a genius feature where they tune into the kind of music you like before you know you like it.
Now truly, Apple, etc. has their work cut out for them since the whole Podunk family shares one iTunes account. Odd Number is a metal head with Eminem tendencies, HRH likes Booty Call, Iron Chef is cool to cook with a 4-hr Grateful Dead drum solo in the background.
So Apple spits out this kind of psychotic mess:
{In case you were wondering, Ain’t No Fun (If the Homies Can’t Have None) by Kurupt is not that great of a song.}
I think pure Genius would be noticing that I have every Bob Schneider song ever recorded — even The Sons of Ralph on the otherwise good Californian album — and maybe alert me to the fact that Bob released a new album on June 11.
I had to stumble across this using my own resources:
Not cool iTunes! Now Bob’s new song John Lennon, that really is genius. Check it out.
