this is why pandora is great, because pandoraвЂ™s engine works exactly like this. for a while, i was pulling moods from the all music guide and tagging all of my mp3s with those moods so i could then do a search by mood and create a playlist that way, but the problem with that is a) itвЂ™s a lot of work tagging 30,000 files, b) not all of those artists have moods listed in allmusic, and c) you often get a disproportionate weight for artists you have more stuff by. sometimes i do, but usually i want random within a defined set of variables for the particular mood iвЂ™m in. when i want random, i donвЂ™t actually want random. So iвЂ™m pretty discriminating in my random playlists. in a goth set, it would be something like вЂњcloserвЂќ by nin, or вЂњcities in dustвЂќ by siouxsie. in an 80s set, my ace was always вЂњtake on meвЂќ by a-ha. when the floor started to empty, it was time to throw on a couple tracks that were sure to get people dancing.

as a dj, i learned this first-hand, and i learned how to adapt the playlist to the mood of the crowd. They donвЂ™t need to be the same genre, it just needs to flow. you can hear it in a good Oakenfold cd like Tranceport or Perfecto Presents Another World. having been a dj at parties, thereвЂ™s a certain flow that needs to happen in good mixes, where one track leads to the next and there arenвЂ™t abject disruptions that throw the whole thing off. for instance, it drives me nuts when weвЂ™re in a store or on the few occasions iвЂ™m listening to the radio and they put, say, Nirvana next to something like Tori Amos or Bjork. the handful of people who actually read and follow this blog will know that iвЂ™m a bit of a snob when it comes to playlists/mixes.

basically, the brains behind itunesвЂ™ genius playlist generator (which i also в™Ґ) is gracenote, and winampвЂ™s playlist generator also invokes gracenote to produce awesome, relevant playlists. Recently i discovered winampвЂ™s built-in playlist generator. pretty much if you want it done, it can be done in winamp. iвЂ™ve tried many, many other music apps, but i always come back to winamp because nothing else has anything on the extensibility possible through winamp plugins. i used to listen to tagвЂ™s trance shoutcast station back in the day (tag is/was one of the winamp devs and was responsible for a lot of the visualizations that come bundled with winamp). Let me get this out there: i love winamp. you can check me out onВ last.fm or theВ arcane palette page on blip.fm to see what iвЂ™m listening to.В right now iвЂ™m playing a lot of borderlands, but i also play a lot of guild wars and classics like civ 3 and heroes of might and magic 3. my musical tastes are eclectic, but you canвЂ™t go wrong with some saul williams or nine inch nails.

curry puffs (especially from Sawadee Thai Restaurant) are like thai food heaven. having worked in the specialty department at whole foods for about a year, iвЂ™m a bit of a food snob, and my favorite cheeses are cambozola, dubliner with stout,В cowgirl creameryвЂ™s mt tam, andВ humbolt fog i likeВ amano chocolate,В franвЂ™s salt caramels and truffles andВ bissingerвЂ™s chocolate barks. i get my rocks off from technology, hacking html and css, watching (good) anime (like, say,В trigun,В neon genesis evangelion,В his and her circumstances,В lain), making/listening to music, and being generally a nrrd.

withВ erin, i started arcane palette creative design - a web design studio hell-bent on spreading awesome, artistic design to the masses. old (eek!) male, happily married with one son, gavin, and one daughter, lilah.
