We're not from Akron, Ohio — our city has far more Empire State Buildings in it — but we were there this weekend for a Greek lamb roast. It was delicious, and the best part was seeing our Greek friend who's all about the mysticism of life. Put it bluntly, he loves coincidences. He turned a chance meeting with a guy from Michigan at an airport bar into a $2,000 profit. How? He bet on the Detroit Pistons because of the meeting, and they won the NBA Championship. Put simply, he has a lust for life.So we were catching up this weekend, and we told him about our site, and how we're up to more than 2,500 votes, and he loved it; fine and dandy. But where were our coincidences? We were outside a restaurant at the time, and the five of us went into eat and were shown to an outdoor table. Akron has these nice things we don't have here — let's call'em "stars" — and we sat under them to order on a pitch-perfect night when I noticed that a live version of Fake Plastic Trees was playing. Spooky? Sure. But here were the next 19 songs to come on:
High and Dry
Just
My Iron Lung
Black Star
Street Spirit (skipped through)
Idioteque
Airbag
Subterranean Homesick Alien (skipped through)
Exit Music (skipped through)
Let Down
Karma Police
No Surprises (skipped through)
Lucky
The Tourist
Everything in its Right Place (skipped through)
Kid A
The National Anthem (skipped through)
How to Disappear Completely (skipped through)
Optimistic
We left before they could get to Amnesiac.
So yeah... Akron, Ohio.
