What the holy fuck?

I'm thinking of buying some music on iTunes so went flicking through Essentials and picked up a few things. I went to my shopping cart and the following 'recommendations' were made:

Eyes Open - Snow Patrol
I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry
Rule the World - Take That
Mercy - Duffy
The Promise - Girls Aloud
Just Dance - Lady GaGa (She's the one who looks like Agui-leer-a, right?)

I can only surmise from this list that a: they have no idea who I am and b: the list of recs is not at all affected by what's ACTUALLY IN THE CART.

This is what's there;

My Old Man's A Dustman - Lonnie Donegan
Thank U Very Much - The Scaffold (you all might know them as Paul McCartney's brother's band but they're so much more. Everyone should buy 'Lily The Pink')
You Need Feet - Bernard Bresslaw (can you sense the comedy record theme emerging?)
Rawhide - Frankie Laine (for the laffs, also)
December, 1963 - Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons (because of a familial holiday to Florida in 1994 when this and All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow was ALL we heard on the radio for the ENTIRE two weeks)
The Days of Pearly Spencer  - David McWilliams (this song used to freak me out as a small child)
Started Out With Nothin' - Seasick Steve. (I've met him and seen him twice but don't actually own any of his music. I'd recommend it in small doses)

So kids, in a shocking and entirely unlikely, unanticipated move, I think iTunes are trying to tell me what to listen to based on something unrelated to what I'd actually like. Maybe it's that I've been listening to Hicks doing his Hendrix/Tiffany/Debbie Gibson stuff today but this really fucking pisses me off. Even if I did listen to much current music (and I do sometimes) none of those 'recs' would be on the list to listen to. It would almost make me consider you know, nicking my choices off the internets, but it'd make a liar of me. No, I'll trim said list and they can fucking whistle for that couple of quid they won't get from me. Hit 'em where it hurts...
