Since I don’t have anything much to write here at the moment, I’ll steal a meme from Mr Brown, and experiment with the soundtrack to the movie to my life. It’s easy to do: look at the different themes, put your iPod or iTunes on shuffle, and note down the tunes as they come up! I wanted to do this a while ago, but had to wait until I’d rescued all my old music from my ailing Powerbook. And remember – BE HONEST! No editing allowed!

The songs are randomly chosen? I would never let the soundtrack to my life be randomly chosen.
You know you can use smart playlists and careful ranking and classification to improve the Party Shuffle. It is a lot of work and you’ll never be done or have things perfect, especially if you own hundreds of CDs…
Priscilla Queen of the Desert was a great movie and a good sound track.
“No fucking Abba!”
Sure, they’re randomly chosen – it’s just for a laugh, and the incongruity of some of what comes up is the joke, although sometimes it’s scary how appropriate other selections can be. But this isn’t the /real/ soundtrack of my life, for sure…
