Could this get me on Letterman?

I haven't figured out if this is a marketable, or even remarkable, trait yet, but I've got some sort of musical ESP. I must pick up on some sort of ethereal music-related knowledge, mostly centered around album releases and band reunions, that is nearly uncanny. Recent examples:

  • One day in my car, I had the thought, Gee, I wonder if Superdrag will ever get back together. I received an email from the band's mailing list announcing a reunion tour THE NEXT DAY.

  • I was listening to No Knife, wondering what had become of the remaining members and thinking I should research where they've gone -- especially vocalists Ryan Ferguson and Mitch Wilson. I received Ferguson's new solo album from a publicist THAT DAY.

  • I had the Vanessa Carlton song "A Thousand Miles" in my head for several days without remembering what her name was (or knowing why I was humming a song I am not particularly fond of). I finally remembered her name in the shower one day. I read an email with a list of new releases, including her new album, TWO HOURS LATER.

  • This seems on the level with having premonition dreams about things that aren't all that surprising ("Darlene, didn't I tell you there would be a light breeze today?"), but still, it freaks me out from time to time.
