IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) 2. Put it on shuffle 3. Press play 4. For every scene, type the song that's playing 5. When you go to a new scene, press the next button 6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool - first songs only Opening Credits Waking Up First Day of School Falling in Love Fight Song Breaking Up Prom Life is Good Mental Breakdown Driving Flashback Getting Back Together Wedding Paying the Dues The Night Before the War Moment of Triumph Death Scene Funeral Song End Credits My results. (Two live versions of Marianne!) : Opening Credits - Smoky Joe by Tori Waking Up - Pan by The Veils First Day of School - Evil by Interpol Falling in Love - Infiltration by Sam Phillips Fight Song - Riot poof by Tori (heh) Breaking Up - What I say and what I mean by The Like Prom - You cage by Throwing Muses (that's a hilarious image) Life is Good - National Express by The Divine Comedy (which is perfect) Mental Breakdown - Fou de toi by Zazie Driving - Mission to the moon by Terami Hirsh Flashback - Feathers by Marissa Nadler Getting Back Together - Coral, jade and pearls by Bel Canto Wedding - Marianne (random live mp3) by Tori Paying the Dues - Sans contrefacon by Mylene Farmer (a job involving cross dressing?) The Night Before the War - Around dusk by Kristin Hersh (perfect) Moment of Triumph - Marianne (Legs and boots) by Tori Death Scene - Vicky's box by Throwing Muses ("welcome hooooomme") Funeral Song - Absolutely barking stars by Maria McKee End Credits - Good old days by The Libertines k. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:34:58 -0400 From: morayati@email.unc.edu Subject: Re: Soundtrack of your life I already did this but I figured I'd do it again, since the last time was short on amusingness from the shuffle (although my death scene to Bjork's Human Behaviour was an interesting image) Opening Credits: Throwing Muses - Counting Backwards (that's actually pretty decent) Waking Up: Laura Marling - Night Terror (uh...yikes) First Day Of School: Noe Venable - Prayer For Beauty (extremely accurate) Falling In Love: Miriam Stockley - Wishing On A Star (so far these are relevant. I promise I'm not cheating) Fight Song: Loreena McKennitt - She Moved Through The Fair (that's a really peaceful fight.) Breaking Up: Lisa Germano - You Make Me Want To Wear Dresses (hmm. OK? I'm guessing I didn't do the breaking up in that case) Prom: Kristeen Young - You Ruined Everything (I guess I'm still bitter) Life Is Good: Tychonaut - Imprint (except that I'm still apparently very bitter) Mental Breakdown: Mazzy Star - Take Everything (I promise I have happy songs too) Driving: Bat For Lashes - Horse And I (I suppose it's the same idea) Flashback: Madonna - Live To Tell (we couldn't have a happy flashback, now could we) Getting Back Together: Frou Frou - Hear Me Out (back into the world of relevance) Wedding: Glen Hansard - When Your Mind's Made Up (not as happy as I'd prefer) Paying The Dues: Cathy Davey - Hoochie (...right) The Night Before The War: Happy Rhodes - Chosen One (hey wait, I thought I just had a wedding?!) Moment of Triumph: Kristin Hersh - Sundrops (I suppose it could work) Death Scene: Tori Amos - Big Wheel (it's better than Human Behaviour) Funeral Song: Stina Nordenstam - The World Is Saved (ouch.) End Credits: Tori Amos - Girl Disappearing (quite literal) - -Sarah ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:26:12 -0500 From: Timothy Jones-Yelvington Subject: Re: Soundtrack of your life I especially love the Madonna flashback and the Happy Rhodes "Chosen One" pre-battle song (don't you just see a reluctant warrior pacing through a mournful montage of goodbye-to-life images to "Chosen One"?? Love it). Also have this amusing image of you declaring yourself a MILF just as you perish as a sort of fuck-you to death. Love it. tim On 3/25/08 9:34 AM, "morayati@email.unc.edu" wrote: > I already did this but I figured I'd do it again, since the last time > was short on amusingness from the shuffle (although my death scene to > Bjork's Human Behaviour was an interesting image) > > Opening Credits: Throwing Muses - Counting Backwards (that's actually > pretty decent) > Waking Up: Laura Marling - Night Terror (uh...yikes) > First Day Of School: Noe Venable - Prayer For Beauty (extremely accurate) > Falling In Love: Miriam Stockley - Wishing On A Star (so far these are > relevant.

Imitating Tim's iTunes, I think ) Opening Credits: High on Sunday 51 - Aimee Mann Waking Up: Fatima's Garden by Lief Sorbye (of Tempest) First Day of School: Cherry Bomb - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Falling in Love: Three Country Highway - Indigo Girls Fight Song: Gold Watch and Chain - New Lost City Ramblers Breaking Up: Song for Ireland - Mary Black (definitely *not* a fit) Prom: Sweet Party - Christene LeDoux Life is Good: Transcontinental - Vienna Teng (another miss) Mental Breakdown: Love Can Be a Dangerous Thing - Pat Alger (wryly appropriate) Driving: Help Me Lift You Up - Mary Margaret O'Hara Flashback: Glanfaidh Me - Kila (the danger of Irish music - I have no idea whether it fits) Getting Back Together: Show Some Respect - Tina Turner (!!) Wedding: Jazzman - Carol King Paying the Dues: Just Because - Mary Chapin Carpenter (obliquely fits) The Night Before the War: Faith of Our Fathers -Bing Crosby (WTF do I keep holiday music in there!) Moment of Triumph: Welcome Me - Joan Baez Death Scene: When I Write My Book - Michael Veitch Funeral Song: Older Angel - Kate Campbell End Credits: Today's the Day - Aimee Mann >.
