Not Weird

Waking up with the urge to Listen to Some Candy Talking by The Jesus and Mary Chain, I searched it out on my main list and hit play. With the player set on random, the song finished and immediately launched into another Jesus and Mary Chain song. At first this struck as highly improbable. As an unrepentant nerd, I had to determine the probability of this happening. Turns out that even though this band makes up a relatively small portion of my collection, there was still a 1 in 87 chance of one song by this artist being followed by another. That means it should happen about 4 times a year, and that isn't strange at all.
