Well, the repetition continues: at least the Ben Harper repetition is new--and interesting. I mean, in some sense these two songs express precisely the same sentiments, but they do so for diametrically opposed purposes. Clever iPod.

1. 'The Great Communicator,' Ted Leo/Pharmacists
2. 'Friends Forever,' Old 97's
3. 'I Wish I Was The Moon,' Neko Case
4. 'She Smiled Sweetly,' The Rolling Stones
5. 'Everything,' Ben Harper
6. 'Walk Away,' Ben Harper
7. 'That Teenage Feeling,' Neko Case
8. 'Broken Breads,' New Pornographers
9. 'King of All the World,' Old 97's
10. 'Ashes of American Flags,' Wilco (Still remember the day this incredible album came out because I vividly remember hearing this story.)

But the Old 97's shit is getting, er, old. Not that I'm tiring of the music, just that I've finally determined to figure out the odds of hearing more 2 songs by the band in the first 10 songs I "randomly" listen to. (Assuming I can remember 11th grade math.) So: of 872 songs currently on my iPod, 55 are by the Old 97's--that's 6.31% . Now I think basically I square that to see what the odds of that happening twice are--and I get 0.398%. That's a pretty slim chance, right? So what gives?
