Those stories a year ago about people feeling that their iPod knew what they were doing, and programmed songs in the shuffle accordingly, were pretty hilarious. So I'll just present this series of excellent, seemingly GPS-driven, random musical selections without further comment. Flying into New Orleans last week, as we were landing the little fella decided it was time for Alan Toussaint's 'Java.' Landing at JFK a few days later we got a little taste of The Strokes. Then this evening, getting on the subway @ 53rd & Madison, it was of course time for Metallica's cover of '53rd & 3rd' (close enough for rock & roll, especially for some Cali metalheads, I guess).
Of course, the streak can't hold up - since starting to write this, we've had the Texas Tornadoes and Serge Gainsbourg; perhaps the iPod is pinin' for Austin or Paris, but I don't think that's happening any time soon ...
