EPTIt's pretty much a recipe for an awful past-time.
or maybe I should stop playing arams cause they're so freakin' random but somehow I'm not sure that would help.

Sounds like you need to join Red's school for people who need to stop giving a fuck, and just enjoy themselves. | ||

Anyway, was listening to the radio and some song comes on I've never heard before, 'cause I'm an old man and tend not to listen to much new shit. I said to myself: "Ok, this sounds like Kings of Leon, they're pretty good." There was some lyric they kept repeating in the song that sounded to me like they were saying 'Cinnamon girl' but after hearing it a bunch of times it turns out the lyric was 'Sentimental girls.' The song ends. (Supersoaker, btw) Next song to come on the radio? Fucking 'Cinnamon Girl' by Neil Young. I'm not sure how song lists are done in radio town, but do they have random people coming up with them or are they done by computer? If it was a specific person I could imagine them having made the same connection as me and done that on purpose, but otherwise wtf. | ||

Sorry to kill the magic but there we go. pretty much why there is probably life somewhere else in this universe as well. just how probability works with large sample numbers. | ||

I don't remember which book I was reading for my source but playlists are definitely researched in depth. There's even a song classification as songs no one really likes, but when you hear them, you don't tune away. (I remember Maroon 5 being a big example.) And they rate songs for all these kinds of things too. I remember Outkast's Hey Ya being used as an example, as it was a song people liked to listen to but people kept tuning it out... they had to prime it with a Maroon 5 song or something like that. I'm so useless, worst source ever | ||

You didn't kill the magic considering I called it a coincidence at first, (which may not even BE one to begin with) and not a sign from the Almighty that I need to change my ways. | ||
