Music!

“Turn the tape on, man!”

This looks entertaining, so I’ll do it. Hell, I’ll do anything for a laugh. Or random deep technological insights to my soul.

The iTunes Library “It’s Your Life!” shuffle:

Opening Credits: “St. Lewis” – The Turbo A.C.’s
Waking Up: “Backslide” – Rancid
First Day At School: “Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” – XTC
Falling In Love: “Dum Dum Club” – Joe Strummer
Fight Song: “Lover” – Lords of Acid
Prom: “Rumble” – Guitar Wolf
Life: “The Burden” (Live) – Dropkick Murphys
Mental Breakdown: “Prison Bound” – Social Distortion
Driving: “Charming Side of Drunk” – The World/Inferno Friendship Society
Flashback: “Prelude: Call of the Ghost Tigers” – Tiger Army
Getting back together: “Beautiful Girl” – Poe
Wedding: “Pachuco Cadaver” – Captain Beefheart
Birth of Child: “I Know Where I’m Goin'” – The Tossers
Final Battle: “Closed Captioned” – Fugazi
Death Scene: “King Herod’s Song” – Jesus Christ Superstar
Funeral Song: “(I Just Want to Get Some) Fellatio” – Bill Clinton
End Credits: “I’m a C%$T” – Orange

I swear to Christ I’m not making this up. That is, by God, what iTunes served up. I think Apple invented some sort of mental bridge between iPod/iTunes and my mood at any given moment. I love “Charming Side of Drunk” for Driving. And “The Burden” for Life? That’s too funny. How perfect are some of those tunes? Well, except for Captain Beefheart at the wedding.

But on the bright side, it might drive the guests away and leave the booze and early honeymoon to me. That’d work.

Go on, give it a try:

  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…
