I switched my ipod on random yesterday to hear the Magnetic Fields 'I thought i was your boyfriend', the version from the album followed by a dance remix from the single.

The probability of this is roughly one in a million (I have 1097 songs, so technically it's 1 in 1.2 million).

It made me wonder how random is 'random' (presumably it's based on some sort of mathsy formula that imitates randomness). Any ideas / similar stories? Or is this possibly the dullest thread ever.

Doesn't matter, forget it.
