One of the reasons (among many) that I despair of ever pulling together mix CDs for my cousins, is the occasionally wondrous serendipity of random play choices by iTunes on my phone whilst driving to and fro. Recently the last two days of July saw just such fortuitous track listings pulled out of the algorithmic \u00e6ther as I went to and from work. The song choices are not perfect (the Latin selections, in particular, could have been better, but the fault is more likely with the paucity of my collection than the Brownian Motion behind my phone’s choices), but I have to ask myself if I could have sequenced better even given weeks of planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
