I've decided you have to be careful about how you treat the 'Random' button on your mp3 player. Of course it depends on how receptive you are to changes in mood brought about by music, and upon what mood you start in, but it can be an emotional rollercoaster if you're not careful. I have a wide variety of songs on my Zen, and hitting the random button can take me from the semi-comic guitar thrashing of Tenacious D's 'Tribute', through the sublime tunefulness of Jack Johnson's 'Mudfootball', into the mellow, so-slow-you-might-just-stop-breathing electronica of Quincy Jones' Summer in the City. And now Porcelain, the most beautiful of all the Chili's many tracks. Up next? Who knows, but it's sure to mess with my head. I advise caution...
