Your Life: The Soundtrack
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your music player (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, 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.
Opening Credits? Snake Song - Emmylou Harris ["Ain't no mercy / In my smiling / Only fangs and / Sweet beguiling". Clearly this would be a disturbing movie.]
Waking Up? Mea Culpa - Engima [Um, if I was waking up in a church. During a French rave.]
Falling in Love? The Only Time - Nine Inch Nails [AHAHAHAHAHA. No, wait: "Right now I'm so in love with you / And I don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do / Lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars / While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car". AHAHAHAHAHA.]
Fight Scene? Double Life - Matthew Good ["This is all there is / Roll the dice". Not very dramatic for a fight scene. Maybe an Argument-and-afterwards-teary-angst scene.]
Breaking Up? Ex-Lion Tamer - The Wire ["There's great danger / For the loneliest ranger of all / No silver bullets / Tonto's split the scene / Next week will solve your problems". Actually, that would work. If it wasn't a poppy, upbeat indie song.]
Getting Back Together? Preacher's Daughter - The Refreshments ["Welcome home she said, you're lookin' good too / Meet my new husband, he's the sheriff who arrested you". Between this song and 'The Only Time', this is the most dysfunctional relationship ever.]
Secret Love? Whispering in the Dark - Matthew Good Band ["We have no excuse for turning fear into laughter / This is the end, in my soul I will send / Maybe I'll see you in the ever after". Awww. My secret love is much sweeter than the other bizarre relationship I'm in.]
Life's Okay? The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine - Spoon [OH MAN, IT'S MY RICHARD FROM SWORDSPOINT SONG. "No, no one knows the two sides of Monsieur Valentine / He makes love to the duke / He swordfights the queen". Um, I have no idea how this song would relate to life being okay.]
Mental Breakdown? Reign - UNKLE [Perfect song call, ipod! Dramatic trip-hop makes for good mental breakdowns.]
Driving Flashback? Professional Killer - KMFDM [Unfortunately, I seem to have deleted this one from my computer. Just trust that it's a flashback to my days of being an assassin/cat bugler, okay?]
Partying? Monkey Gone to Heaven - Pixies [There's apparently a religious theme in this soundtrack. Perhaps because I'm back together with the Preacher's Daughter.]
Happy Dance? Time Bomb - The Format ["Tick tock, you're not a clock / You're a time bomb, baby / A time bomb". Happy dance to emo music. Sure, why not?]
Regretting? Stand Up (Let's Get Murdered) - P.O.S. ["We're talking about the most hated machine of all time / They're playing a game with most of our lives / But in November who had patience to stand in line?" Sounds like regret to me!]
Long Night Alone? Haven't Slept in Years - Matthew Good Band [...ipod, you're kinda freaking me out with the accuracy of these song calls. Also, I swear that my music collection is not actually this disproportionately composed of Matthew Good.]
Final Battle? Are You Sad? - Our Lady Peace [Thank you, one that makes no sense. "Stay with me / Oh, just stop pretending when they say you're nothing".]
Death Scene? I, The Throw Away - Matthew Good Band [This song works, but really, if you were going to go with Matthew Good yet again, 'Advertising on Police Cars' is the ultimate death scene song.]
End Credits? Si, Mi Chiamano Mimi - La Boheme [Because nothing rounds off a soundtrack of indie rock like opera.]

Date: 2006-10-13 05:51 pm (UTC)Hee, not nerdy at all. Or if it is, I'm just as nerdy. I love to collect different versions of songs; I had over 20 copies of 'House of the Rising Sun' before my computer crashed.

Date: 2006-10-14 06:00 am (UTC)Well, I was lucky in that one in that 'House of the Rising Sun' is a heavily covered song. Different versions have to exist before you can collect them, after all.
