ITunes is keeping me company, on random. I often think it’s trying to tell me something with its “random” choices, but this time I have no clue. I feel that with 1659 songs to choose from, it’s overrepresenting Tori, the Church, TMBG, and Yves Duteil a bit – are they connected in some way? Part of an international plot to brainwash me with subliminal messages?
I started it on:
Alpha Beta Gaga (Mark Ronson Vocal remix) – Air

- If Only You Knew – Moxy Früvous

Two Tori is not too Tori!
While doing laundry tonight, I watched a Tivo’d episode of “The Alternative”, VH1 Classic’s show about the non-mainstream music of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Early in the show, having read this entry, I said to myself that they’re going to show a video by The Church. Last video in the hour show — “Under the Milky Way”. Coincidence? I think not.
