Post your random MusicMagic Mix connections

So Winamp incorporated this Predixis MusicMagic Mix playlist generating plugin into 5.1. There's a button for it in the Media Library. It indexes your mp3 collection so when you give it a seed song, it generates a 20 track playlist. I just discovered this yesterday. It's reawakened most of my mp3 collection, like hiring a full time schizophrenic DJ.

K*nye's "Gold Digger" returns Johnny Cash "Sunday Morning Coming Down" NIN "Starfuckers, Inc" and Undisputed Truth "Big John Is My Name"

Share your connections plz k thx.

I don't get it. Is it just a random playlist?

Supposedly it indexes "acoustical attributes." I ran one yesterday that returned a seemingly random list, except all the guitars sounded exactly the same. Some of it's just similar rhythm and volume patterns, I think. The rest is Magic! or Marketingspeak! I dunno. Yeah, those Gold Digger connections don't make any sense, but it also returned Nelly - "Nobody Knows" f. Anthony Hamilton, which kinda does.

Paul McCartney & Wings' "Jet" returns

KISS's "Great Expectations"
The Strokes "Hard to Explain"
The Zombies' "Friends of Mine"

ok... makes sense...

and the Top Gun Theme?!

These playlists tend to fit on a cd, too, which holds all kinds of possibilities.
