Random play

One of the best things about MP3 players is the random shuffle feature. Some people claim that their devices are in sync with them to a preternatural degree (don't these people choose the songs, themselves-duh!), but I'm not here to debate that. They do however, sometimes cook up a particularly heavenly run of songs that have nothing to do with each other, but somehow seem just right. While walking on the treadmill, I heard, in succession:

• Looking for someone like you - Kelly Willis
• Ordinary Joe - Terry Callier
• Off the record - My Morning Jacket
• Strawberry Road - Sam Phillips
• My heart is the bums on the street - Marah
• When I was cruel - Elvis Costello

Anyway, it was pretty awesome. That's all.
