Sinn Fein in the membrane

Sitting in my cube at work this morning with the Ivan the iPod on shuffle. It's a weird mix back and forth across a disjointed cornucopia of musical styles.  Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 comes on. My numbed brain can conjure nothing more profound than..."cool." Next up is The Cranberries' Zombie. I'm silently headbanging in workplace hell for half the song before I make the connection.

I've got over 7000 songs on Ivan. I can't be completely sure, but I'm almost positive those are the only two about The Troubles. Chance that they'd be played back to back? Approximately 50,000,000:1 against. A better explanation is probably a coder in Cupertino who thinks he's really clever. At least that's the one I favor.
