more iPod shuffle spookiness

I'm thinking about re-tooling (emphasis on "tool") this blog to be about the spooky coincidences of the iPod Shuffle. There have been too many occurrences of similarity in transition between songs - be it lyrically or musically - for the Shuffle to be random in its selections.

The latest proof was yesterday. After playing Willie Nelson's "The Great Divide," the Shuffle followed with "Hedwig's Lament" from the soundtrack for Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The lyrics for "Lament" start like this:

I was born on the other side
of a town ripped in two
And no matter how hard I've tried
I end up black and blue

This follows a song called "The Great Divide."

iPod Shuffle KNOWS.
