You know that feeling you get when you step outside and you happen to be listening to just the right song? It’s as if your life were a carefully crafted piece of cinematography, and the song that plays perfectly reflects the mood of the moment, whether in the lyrics or just the general rhythm and mood. Time slows down a bit, and you realize this is so that the beat of the music perfectly coincides with your steps.

This happened to me twice on Friday. It was awesome. (Bullet the Blue Sky and New Year’s Day. U2 is good for the soul. It doesn’t happen often. Other notables for this phenomenon are Kraftwerk and Urge Overkill.)
