Last Night
Last Night: Random Play
Last night, an old college friend looped me into one of those Facebook things. Put your iTunes on random play and—no cheating—list the first 20 songs that come up.
You know how sometimes shuffle seems to take on a mind of its own and plays a jag of related songs? My iTunes got stuck in a mid-late 60s thing—two numbers by the Electric Prunes?—and kicked out this lovely set.
Too bad this awesome '60s rave didn't come up, though
