Genius

// October 24th, 2008 // music, Work

I am not a musical person, don’t get me wrong- I love music, but it is something I have never really understood. I know what I like, and my taste is very eclectic, and changes all the time.

What I want to listen to also depends on my mood. At the moment I am working on a very tedious project and have spent the past 3 days inspecting every inch of the Brisbane river and coastline from Wellington Point in the south to Donnybrook in the north looking for Sea Walls, Jetties, Boat Ramps, and Wharves. Looking at aerial photography like this calls for some good music on my iPod. Now I would usually find an album I like, or just shuffle all my tracks, and when an track that I am not in the mood for comes up I would skip it. Genius on my iPhone avoids me listening to tracks that do not fit in with my mood or the previous track. For example, I selected the track Hapuku Rain from the Album Heal Me by Salmonella Dub [iTunes Link].

Genius thought this would go well with:

• I Thought About You by the Beautiful Girls [iTunes Link]
• Straight Lines by Silverchair [iTunes Link]
• Nude by Radiohead [iTunes Link]
• Green Eyes by Coldplay [iTunes Link]
• Taylor by Jack Johnson [iTunes Link]
• Girl by Beck [iTunes Link]
• New Day Come by Shapeshifter [iTunes Link]
• Love Sunshine and Happiness by Salmonella Dub [iTunes Link]
• Just a Boy by Angus and Julia Stone [iTunes Link]
• On Call by Kings of Leon [iTunes Link]
• Paris is Burning by Ladyhawke [iTunes Link]
• Come and Check your Head by Blue King Brown [iTunes Link]
• Don’t Panic by Coldplay [iTunes Link]
• 19-20-20 by The Grates [iTunes Link]
• Gabrielle by Ween [iTunes Link]
• Nothing is Free by Salmonella Dub [iTunes Link]
• Chelsea Dagger by the Fratellis [iTunes Link]
• Lines on Palms by Josh Pike [iTunes Link]
• Happiness by Goldfrapp [iTunes Link]
• Back in your head by Tegan and Sara [iTunes Link]

What a great playlist! Perfect for listening to while looking the stunning coastal photography of Brisbane, dreaming of fishing off the jetties or Kayaking in the warm waters like the pic below, taken under the old cruise terminal on the Brisbane River.
