Some Genius

Every once in awhile the iTunes Genius feature really exceeds expectations. It's that moment when you hear song after song and realize that not only are the songs just great but they sound even more perfect together than you could have imagined. They have that perfect mix of tempos and musical styles, of the familiar and obscure, that just makes you sit up and notice the awesomeness of this feature. And last night I had one of those moments. Here is the genius for your listening enjoyment:
