Her stars Joaquin Phoenix as a broken hearted man in the near future in Los Angeles. In one scene he gets in a crowded elevator and tells his phone to play him a melancholy song. It\u2019s melancholy, really melancholy, but not exactly what Joaquin is looking for. \u201cPlay a different melancholy song\u201d Joaquin says. It\u2019s a funny beat but it tells you everything you need to know about Joaquin\u2019s character and the world he lives in. But it got me thinking, we\u2019re living in a world pretty close to joaquin\u2019s. I can\u2019t tell my phone to instantly play me a melancholy song suited to my personal tastes\u2026 yet.<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s show I used the iTunes Genius Mix to generate playlists using The Breeders \u201cOff You\u201d as the seed. Why don\u2019t you try iTunes or Pandora or Spotify to generate a playlist for you based on one of your favorite melancholy songs and tell me what you came up with.<\/p>\n
