Soundtrack Idea
again, I’m a sucker for these things and given the amount of random crap on my iPod was interested to see what the results were.
If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?
So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, RHYTHMBOX 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…
Opening Credits - Bone Machine (Pixies)
Waking Up - Hooligans For Life (Rival Schools)
First Day of School - I Want to Hold Your Hand (Beatles)
Falling in Love - Montagues & Capulets (Prokofiev)
Fight Song - Nice Dream (Radiohead)
Breaking Up - Myopia (Team)
Prom - Mindfields (Prodigy)
Life - Breadfan (Metallica)
Driving - Bridges (erm… by me!)
Flashback - Damage (The Cooper Temple Clause)
Getting Back Together - Doll (Foo Fighters)
Wedding - Elite (Deftones)
Party - Message (The Grates)
Birth of A Child - This Wicked Tongue (PJ Harvey)
Final Battle - The Only One I Know (Charlatans)
Funeral Song - High 5 (Rock the Catskills) (Beck)
Ending Credits - Hey (Pixies)
doesn’t really work.
hmmm, a thought. Perhaps it’d be more interesting to get 15 randomly selected songs and then write a story where each one was appropriate to that part of the story rather than applying the labels beforehand.

Why not do one where you pick the songs then? I think its quite a good format..

My opening credits would be “I wanna be adored” by The Stone Roses. Classic tune, totally true.
