Does this happen to anybody else? Often, actually way too often to just be coincidence... :? I'll get into my car or flip on the radio at home, and the first thing I hear is a Hip song.
This happens A LOT. It's getting to the point where every 2 or 3 times out of 10, I can expect it. I've often been driving, gotten a... "vibe" I guess, to change the station, and as soon as I do... Hip.
I'm also all but guranteed to hear a Hip song on K-Rock as I pass through Kingston on my way home to Toronto. I can "call it" at this point, telling friends "We're going to hear a Hip song on this station in the next twenty minutes..." and sure enough it happens.
My ex used to tell people "Now that Steve's in your car, we're going to hear a song by The Tragically Hip on the radio." Sometimes, with eerie prescience, it would be the very next song out of the break.
Obviously, this has a lot to do with luck, serendipity and Can-con rules, but does anybody else have this odd Hip-Radio relationship?
