I am heading to Atlanta tomorrow and I get to see family and some warm weather, but I am also excited to get my birthday gift from my parents. My mom is bringing me my shiny new iPhone. The first thing I am going to do with this present is download the Pandora app.
I have a serious love for music and technology and where it has comes in recent years. About two years ago I got hooked on Pandora. It had introduced to some of my favorite new artists. Thanks to the Queen Pandora Station, I met Mika and we have started what I believe will be a long and loving friendship. The Fray set me up with The Script. Oh, and I can’t not explain the genius of the Girl Talk station. Also, it’s so easy to bookmark songs, so I can be in the middle of something at work, and just hit a quick button and go back and look it up. I’m hoping the application will make this as easy. Oh I can’t wait for this phone! Also the concerts that don’t let me bring cameras in (talking to you House of Blues) won’t be able to stop me now! I guess I might get ejected though, and that would be sad.
Why I love genius for iTunes is it puts music together that I wouldn’t really have thought of. As we type I am listening to India Arie “Part of My Life” on genius. The next song was Lauryn Hill, which is where I figured it would go. Side note, the Lauryn Hill song is “Forgive Them Father”, and it made me think that maybe I should forgive Miss Hill because she knows not what she’s doing to me. Anyway then we had Alicia Keyes, another expected choice. Next was Robin Thicke! And an upbeat, makes me dance around my apartment Robin Thicke! I was not expecting that, but well done apple, great combination. The greatness of genius is that it’s going to be all music that you like, because you’ve purchased it, it puts together things you might not have predicted, and it re-introduces you to your library. I forget that I have things on my iPod half the time and genius pulls it up. Finally it’s so easy! I can be listening to shuffle and be like I love this song, let’s turn on genius so I can listen to more like it. It’s also perfect for working out when you want a series of upbeat songs. Try it, turn on Outkast’s “B.O.B.”, then turn on genius, then hit the treadmill, I guarantee you’ll run faster.
I can’t wait to see what computer genius music lovers come up with next.
