Planes, Burscough, and Beyond

Planes, Burscough, and Beyond
Yesterday I flew back to the states. I put my iPod on shuffle. I never do this but my friend Ben told me once that if I can't put my iPod on shuffle and listen to anything that comes on then I should delete that artist/band out of the Pod. So I tried it. This is what I listened to:

1. Stars - On Peak Hill
2. Neutral Milk Hotel - Ghost
3. Ryan Adams - Rock N Roll
4. Bloc Party - Uniform
5. Nada Surf - What is Your Secret
6. The Faint - Posed to Death
7. Yann Tiersan - La Vase D'Amelie
8. Andrew Bird - Scythian Empires
9. Edit Piaf - Toujours Aimer
10. Mason Jennings - Be Here Now
11. The Decemberists - Los Angeles, I'm Yours
12. Iron & Wine - Fever Dream
13. Figurine - Let's Make Our Love Song
14. Bloc Party - Song for Clay
15. Kiss Me Deadly - Ballads
16. Joseph Arthur - Tattoo
17. Kiss Me Deadly - Distress Call
18. Ryan Adams & the Cardinals - Friends
19. Dinosaur Jr. - Gettin Rough
20. Jason Collett - I'll Bring The Sun

Now I'm not one to read into tea leaves pooled in the bottom of a cup or to look for planetary alignments but what does this mean. Two songs by both Bloc Party, Kiss Me Deadly, and Ryan Adams, two songs by fiercely French artists, a blast from the past, with a taste of romance and a little bit of storytelling from this past week in England. Taking the cake might be the Decemberists song though. What does this mean?

If you'd be the air in my lungs I'd smoke a lot.
