Strange coincidence in iTunes today. 438 songs currently on my HD at work and I’m playing it shuffled. This is what I got:

First it played: A live version of David Bowie’s version of the Pixies’ Cactus. At the end of the song he explains it’s either about a friend of Frank Black’s in prison, or maybe Black’s own experience in prison.

Then it gave me: Frank Black & Two pale boys version of Cactus.

Enter theme of the Twilight Zone.


I’m telling you, iTunes is clairvoyant. I was flipping through some newspages somewhere, while listening to some music (also in shuffle mode) (and on a different machine, too!). Then I saw a pic of the Franz Ferdinand lads. At exactly the same moment, iTunes chose Take Me Out to play… Ik rust mijn kaas.

There was an article on this phenomenon somewhere recently. Basically said it was bollocks.

Obviously. Still, it made me go ‘whoa!’…

Well, bollocks almost always come in pairs. Surely that’s more than coincidence?

I was gonna write ‘it was bollocks. But we know better…’
