Soundtrack to Your Life.
I was going to just do this as a comment, but the first few tracks were so amusing in their own way I thought I'd do it as an actual post.
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
1. Opening Credits: How We Know, The Thermals
"You spill water water like love and i will take it if you can't take it." I'm not sure if this is my life or not, but I sense a theme.
2. Waking Up: Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Eric Clapton
This is why I don't like waking up.
3. First Day At School: Ecstasy, Lou Reed
Considering the title of the song it really is rather downbeat.
4. Falling In Love: Picky Bugger, Elbow
"Drinking / in order to feel / Thinking / Reinventing the wheel" Ouch.
5. Fight Song: China (Clouds Not Mountains), Banco de Gaia
A song about insurmountable tasks that you may start but will not personally see the end of. I don't think this is a fight in the action movie sense.
6. Breaking Up: Everybody's Got Something to Hide…, The Beatles
Breaking up is never this fun.
7. Prom: Leif Erikson, Interpol
"It's like learning a new language / Helps me catch up on my mime / If you don't bring up those lonely parts / This could be a good time" That's somehow oddly appropriate for school dances.
8. Life: Family Business, Fish
I'm glad that isn't my life.
9. Mental Breakdown: Don'ts, David Shrigley
"There is no such thing as a metal Frisbee."
10. Driving: Feel Good Lost Reprise, Broken Social Scene
This sort of music is only ever used for the timeless moment before crashing, which is probably what my driving would be like.
11. Flashback: Hell In A Bucket, The Grateful Dead
12. Getting back together: Postscript, Robert Fripp
"So the whole story is completely untrue, big hoax." Sound of footsteps retreating and door closing. Sound of door opening again and footsteps returning. Don't you just love connecting tracks?
13. Losing your Virginity: Blue Room (Ambient Mix), The Orb
I think you could probably meet a girl, get to know her, go on a few dates, lose your virginity, and have the rest of a relationship before this track finished.
14. Wedding: Walking Into Clarksdale, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant
15. Birth of Child: Climbing to the Moon, Eels
I suppose if you picked out the chorus then maybe it could work, maybe.
16. Final Battle: Space Truckin', Deep Purple
That could work, well the opening chords certainly could.
17. Funeral Song: Slow Burn, David Bowie
Kind of works, but feels more like an end credits song really.
18. End Credits: Dammers or Czukay, Future Pilot AKA
Somehow cheerful and sinister at the same time. I think I'll be back for a sequel.
Which is a good thing because the next track on the playlist is Revolution 909 by Daft Punk which would clearly be good opening scene music to a film.
