My iPod Smells The Rain

I am forced to choose between two conclusions.

Either my iPod has somehow sensed that this is the sixth (seventh? eighth? I've lost track) consecutive day of gray and rainy weather and is shuffling up what it deems to be the appropriate gloomy day music.

Or the iPod is simply trying to do a Gaslight on me.

My evidence? Consider the last three tracks that have 'randomly' come up on shuffle.

First the iPod tossed "Those Three Days" by Lucinda Williams at me...

You say there's always gonna be this thing
Between us days are filled with dreams
Scorpions crawl across my screen
Make their home beneath my skin
Underneath my dress stick their tongues
Bite through the flesh down to the bone
And I have been so fuckin' alone
Since those three days

Did you only want me for those three days?
Did you only need me for those three days?
Did you love me forever
just for those three days?

...followed by "Burning House of Love" by X...

Well, I can still remember a couple of years ago,
when the smoke and flame from our name,
was a burnin' house of love, burnin' house of love.

The rusty nail over our front door,
is where I hung our tears in the rain.
I threw that horseshoe into the weeds,
See what love can bring.

Now you're in your bed and I'm in mine,
on either side of town;
I think I might take a little ride,
and burn your love house down,
like a burnin' house of love, a burnin' house of love.

.. and then went for the knockdown with "Classifieds" by Bob Mould.

I have to say that this all seems strange to me
It's not that different from my life
Condense it down into five lines
Now I know the reason why these ads all look alike
How can anyone describe who they are in a page or less?
(Desperately looking for someone, I guess)
But when the morning comes, both of you will be scratching your heads
In the aftermath, head to the bathroom to straighten up and then
You realize you forgot your toothbrush again
And what you saw in those five lines:
Did it materialize?
Now you know the reason why that one's in there every time
Look through the classifieds
Who's in the classifieds?
I'm through with the classifieds

In the end I feel I'd best take precautions against both instances. First I will counter the gloomy songs with the pwerful mojo of Wesley Willis.

This is the song that I'm going to be singing to you, which is called
"Jesus is the Answer."
Number One: I'm gonna do this sucka again.
Number Two: I'm gonna do this sucka again all the way up your ass.
And Number Three: I'm gonna fuck your ass up like in a car crash.
And Number Four: I'm gonna you up like a goddam accident.
And Number Five.... Jesus is the Answer!

Then I will perform an impromptu exorcism on the iPod.
