smartass shuffle

Velma and I are (perhaps a little too) fond of breaking into "Could It Be Magic" when Kenny at the piano bar plays "Wild World". Yesterday my mp3 player, still doing the 1970s shuffle, played those two songs back to back, making me laugh but also pointing out to me that the two songs really aren't that similar. It's just the one repeating passage in "Wild World" that makes me want to go "Baby I'm grieving, now, now, now and hold on fast..."

When I was in first grade in the mid-70's my parents liked to put on "Could It Be Magic" in the mornings before work/school. So I'd go off to first grade with those opening bleak Chopin chords in my head.

Now I'm trying to mentally superimpose Cat Stevens over Chopin, or vice versa. At a brief examination, it looks like maybe Cat cribbed from Fred too.

I was listening to my iPod on shuffle, and out of like 9-10,000 songs, it played, consecutively, Smog's "Let me see the Colts" and "I Break Horses". I love shit like that.
