Every now and then I turn on my CD player (which holds 200 CDs*) and say: today you pick what we listen to (surprise me!**) and I put it on All Disc Random. Today the first song selected was Stairway to Heaven. This is a song I've heard probably 2 billion times - to the point where when I hear it now, it's like background noise. But today I really listened and I was rockin' out (to the fast parts. Anyone who has been to Jr. High knows this to be the most excrutiating song played at dances due to the fast and slow parts). Just a little pleasant surprise in my day. I was sort of hoping for Free Bird next, but no (though it did play a Lynyrd Skynyrd song - ha!)
* I own way more than 200 CDs and I could write a whole essay on the tramas of selecting which 200 are in the player at a given time and what order they are placed in the CD player.
** I could also write a whole essay on the fact that my CD player has a personality which includes musical taste because about 90% of the times I've done All Disc Random it has selected a song from Darkness on the Edge of Town within the first 5 songs, which has to be a statistical anomaly. Today, Racing in the Streets is playing as I write this (and this is the 4th song). What more can you ask for?-----
