why mixes should never be made by computers
Last year a friend of mine asked me why I make my own mixes, he said, “why don’t you just use genius?” 
Aside from the fact that I ENJOY making mixes, here is my practical answer: because “GENIUS” has placed, not one, but TWO gary lewis and the playboys songs on EVERY mix I have ever attempted to make using this feature- I mean  gary lewis and the playboys? really? REALLY? These guys made like, one record;  I have, literally, thousands of records in my itunes and somehow jerry lewis’ son’s band makes it twice onto every attempted “genius” mix. I am convinced, no matter what, “genius”  will find a way to inexplicably include, ”just my style” and “everybody loves a clown”  into all it endeavors; and that is, frankly, unacceptable.
This is why computers should not make mixes.
that said, I love apple and itunes, without which, I would be a lot less happy.
that’s all.
