Musical sixth sense? (in Off-topic)

Have you ever listen to music, either at home, PC or HiFi, in the car or even during shopping. And you think to yourself "[Insert song] will play next" and then start humming the tune, or even saying the lyrics.

And presto, the next song is what you had in mind. This always seems to happen to me, even moreso at home on the PC. The playlist is on shuffle, so it's not playing a fixed order of songs ;P

No, but i'll go to sleep with no music playing. Wake up with a song stuck in my head that i havent heard in years. And without fail will somehow hear it randomly at least three times that day.

Also somewhat related:
This has happened to me on two occasions - I have been reading through an old CB thread (several days old), when I finish reading I look back at Active Threads and it will be on top of the list.
Someone has replied to it while I have been reading it which is
quite odd when no-one has replied to it in several days!

shuffle on a pc always has a set algorithm so its only natural that subconsciously you know which song will be played next :P

So the "shuffle" isn't random? /me shakes fist. Damn j00 coders!

Xiaz, watch your language.

My old guitarist and I had a musical sixth sense when it came to writing and playing. We knew how to tell each other how something needed to sound without using words or sounding it out.

I often read books while listening to music, and it's surprising how often I'll read a word at the exact same time that it is spoken in the music.

And yes, computers are unable to be random - we have to tell them what to do. The best they can do is to be "pseudo-random", to follow some algorithm that picks numbers in an specific but unpredictable manner.

you can always use the time at that moment to be kind of random...
