The Future of Music, MP3s and Moods. Or not.
Mac interfaces are pretty damn cool. Check out this mp3 playa called 'moodLogic'  i don't know how it works, but i think the mood bar in the middle must be pivotal to its operation. 
Aggressive | Upbeat | Happy | Romantic | Mellow | Sad
While this is a, um... nice summary of the full emotional spectrum it is certainly missing a few of my own favourite moods including: - lustful
- embarrassed
- wallowing in regret
- wistful
- sobbing hysterically
- terrified
- silly
- bemused
- shocked
- insulted
- jaunty
- bored into a stupor
- gassy
- drunk
- deep in thought
- busting to pee
And of course, real people (like you and I) are not simple creatures. We often experience combinations of the above moods. Perhaps: - frightened, lustful and sobbing hysterically.
or - drunk, jaunty and busting to pee.
and the all too common: - happy yet, at the same time, sad. And just busting to pee.
I guess the Emotional Sciences still have a lot of work to do in the realm of classifying MP3's.
