Every so often, I get these heavy vibes where I think about something and, moments later, there it is. Well, I had one of those feelings today. As I was driving home, for some reason, I was thinking about a set of music I carved out a while back, featuring Irish bands. Must have been for St. Patrick's or something, several years ago.

On it was "Mandinka" by Sinead O'Connor. Thought about that song and sure enough, the next tune on XM was "Mandinka". Hadn't heard it in a while and for that to come on at that precise moment was a bit creepy.
