Then came 'Hallelujah' sounding like mad Ophelia.
For those that don't care, I'm sorry. As you were.

Yay, random. Actually, it's a conspiracy and your iPod knows more about you and your musical tastes than you do. (or something)

Random is usually very unrandom I find.
Yeah, the covers ain't bad but give me Leonard Cohen any day.
Its randon I tell you!!!! but then consider, so is evolution. Random! no ghosts in machines. Random....
Amiga, have been enraptured for a while but this brings me back...
listening to Jeff Buckley sing a duet in the Phoenix with a friend of mine late one night, sometime in the early '90s.
Now that I live in NY I pine for days singing at gigs with friends.
