I woke up with a song stuck in my mind, "Joey" by Concrete Blonde. To replace it, I grabbed the iPod, and hit random. In that process I had the thought that the songs would tell me about the day to come.
First up was "Mykonos" by Fleet Foxes. This was my favorite new song this summer. Its a song about trying to find a friend/brother who doesn't show up. Being there for that person, but being let down, again.
Second was "Well that was Fun" by BNL. Its about a relationship ending.
Next was "Wish you the worst" by The Old 97's. Great song by a great band. There has been some weird coincidences about them lately. Its about someone waiting for the girl friend to come back after she has gone out.
The cognitive portion of my mind recognizes this as me imposing order, the emotional portion thinks that it is some weird fate kind of thing.
Its actually kind of interesting how many great break up songs there are. And how cloying loves song are when one is not in love.

Before leaving the house I got some Calexico. My iPod has good taste.
I remembered today that the phrase for song stuck in one's mind is earworm.
