iPod iChing - H5N1 pandemic this season?

Well, it is friday, and given last week's prediction, I thought, "sod it", lets try it on...

So, oh mighty iPod, before whom we are but as humble listeners, tell us: will there be a human-to-human full blown H5N1 pandemic this 'flu season?

Whoosh, the iPod whooshes, as we tremble before its oracular wisdom:

• The Covering Avalon - Roxy Music


• The Crossing Ástartöfrar - Björk


• The Crown The Main Thing - Roxy Music


• The Root Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd


• The Past Throwing it All Away - Genesis


• The Future Let's Build a Snowman - Twin Sisters


• The Questioner Bar Italia - Pulp


• The House Silver and Gold - U2


• The Inside She Smiled Sweetly - Billy Bragg


• The Outcome Jólahjól - Stebbi

For those who like 12 entries; the next two are Andante - Mozart, and Welcome to Paradise - Green Day.

Oh, we are so totally fucked.
A slow moving pandemic around christmas, during the snows, and, strangely, we will not be prepared for it.

Good thing iPod iChing is all just a big laugh, eh?

The Future:

Sometimes the world is black
And tears run from your eyes.
And maybe we'll all get really sick
And maybe we'll all die.


Someone remind me why this is on a kids christmas collection CD... At least "Ring around the Rosy" didn't come up.
Well, I listened to it, same title, different lyrics, all sweetness and light and carrots. Phew, eh.

The Outcome is curious, it is an Icelandic modern christmas song about a kid who wants a bicycle for christmas. It is kinda creepy actually, the kid gets very wound-up by a large silver package under the tree, while his parents smirk. Listened to this one too, creepy.

Ástartöfrar - is a "magic of love" from a funky jazz album (Gling-Gló her best album by far,. BTW). But, it is jazz. Cynicism abounds.

Now if you can stand I would like to take you by the hand, yeah
And go for a walk past people as they go to work
Let's get out of this place before they tell us that we've just died
Move, move quick, you've gotta move. Come on it's through, come on it's time
Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused just what did you lose?

If you can make an order could you get me one
Two sugars would be great 'cos I'm fading fast and it's nearly dawn
If they knocked down this place, this place, it'd still look much better than you
Move, move quick, you've gotta move. Come on it's through, come on it's time
Oh look at you, you, you're looking so confused, what did you lose?
It's ok it's just your mind

If we get through this alive I'll meet you next week, same place, same time
Oh move, move quick you've gotta move. Come on it's through, come on it's time
look at you, you, you're looking so confused, what did you lose?
That's what you get from clubbing it
You can't go home and go to bed because it hasn't worn off yet and now it's
Morning there's only one place we can go
It's around the corner in Soho where other broken people go
Let's go.
