Righty ho... I'm at work, while simultaneously on holiday. I've taken some time off work to come and do some one off work at my dad's church on the computers. It's hard work... the joys of IT...
So, I'm taking a break to do a silly little quiz thing I saw on a friend's blog the other week. The idea is that you select all your music on your generic mp3 player, set it to play randomly, and it spits out songs which may or may not correlate in some way with a selection of events that might take place in a film of your life. Cheesy, huh? The hope is that fate will somehow choose a whole bunch of astutely apt songs. The reality is likely that chance conspires against you and you end up explaining why you have half a dozen Bryan Adams songs in your collection, which of course you understand I don't. Honest.
Anyway! I've managed to wrestle with my 4 year old Creative Jukebox (twice the size of an Ipod! Half as good!) to get it to select all the music I own... here goes...
SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE:
Opening Credits: Steps - Tragedy
Clearly my MP3 player hates me.
Waking Up: Across The Great Divide - Semisonic
First Day At School: The Model - Belle & Sebastian
Great song. Irrelevant, mind you.
Falling In Love: Stop, Look, Listen To Your Heart - Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye
Well, at least it's a love song.
Fight Song: Pressure On Julian - Blur
Breaking Up: Porno Creep - Korn
Obviously.
Prom: Its The Sun - Polyphonic Spree
Mental Breakdown: Tightrope (Instrumental) - Electric Light Orchestra
Driving: Be Mine - David Gray
Tooooooo slooooooow for driving.
Flashback: At My Most Beautiful - R.E.M.
Getting back together: Darkside Lightside - Ash
RAWK!! *moshes*
Wedding: On A Plain (Live) - Nirvana
"Love myself better than you". Not very appropriate.
Birth of Child: Praise You - Fatboy Slim
Yeah, that'll do. I think there was a fair measure of praising when that was all done with.
Final Battle: Stop Whispering - Radiohead
Death Scene: Get Back - The Beatles
Funeral Song: Losing Grip - Avril Lavigne
Oh dear.
End Credits: Perfect Day - Lou Reed
The only film soundtrack I've heard this on was Trainspotting, which isn't that encouraging.
So, there you go. At least Bryan Adams didn't show up.
