what iTunes genius knows that I don't

notes

Surrounded by cats and trying to get my invoices together. What I really want to listen to is Bola Sete, but as I'm scanning through my library of Brazilian tunes, I go to the Getz/Gilberto album and click the genius button.

A hundred bossa nova and tropicalia tunes present themselves. Rather, 99 brazilian tunes + High and Dry by Radiohead. That's odd.

I click on High and Dry and redo the genius playlist. Same thing. 1 Radiohead tune and 99 brazilian tunes.

wtf? But wait. I start up High and Dry, and sure enough it *is* a bossa nova tune. I'd just never noticed before. The melody, the chord structure, everything. How many other tunes has Thom Yorke written that are actually bossa tunes?

And, what does iTunes Genius know that I don't?
