Ok I Am Convinced That God Is Talking To Me Though Winamp!

And God wants to kill himself, it would seem. Again, with the 40 hours of random music, it played 7 songs in a row that were all by bands and/or members of bands that have killed themselves. It was a set that started with Elliott Smith‘s Needle in the Hay, followed by Nirvana‘s Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For A Sunbeam. These two I knew about, but the next one on the list I had to consult Google about. It was Nick Drake‘s Pink Moon — apparently Nick Drake took too many pills and died. This was followed by Joy Division‘s Colony, and I only knew that there was an untimely death in that band because of D. talking about this movie. The very next song was the big lizard one from the Dead Milkmen, and Dave Blood killed himself. Then this is where it gets random! Roy Buchanan came up next doing a cover of Hey Joe. I have one album of Roy Buchanan and I don’t even recall listening to it before, but Google informs me that he died by hanging while in jail for public drunkenness. Then Pennywise doing a cover of Brown Eyed Girl came next. While the band is still rocking out, Wikipedia tells me that their original bassist Jason Thirsk killed himself in ’96. Then the last one was Joydrop– I Sometimes Wanna Die. While there was no one in this band that has killed themselves, the song title makes it get lumped into this list, as well as the fact that the song was banned from radio and TV after September 11th because of fears that it would make the nation too depressed to continue living. ODD!!! Perhaps there are random musical coincidences in my Winamp all the time and I have never noticed! Well, God, Winamp, go away!
