Today at work, I had my ipod on shuffle, randomly listening to tunes, when I was struck by a funny coincidence: First, **Yesterday** by Miles Davis came on. It was immediately followed by **Today** by Jefferson Airplane. And after that, the next song to come up was **Tomorrow** by Morrissey. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. All in a row. That made me chuckle. Anybody else have some odd shuffles that synch together that way? ---

My iPhone ‘shuffled’ three songs in a row by The Kinks. Since I have only four songs by that band, I thought I must’ve taken it off shuffle by mistake. ---

This happens to me all the time. No way for me to explain it but it’s pretty crazy sometimes.
