“Our Band Could Be Your Life”
Because this arrived while I was reading The Dice Man and was thinking on the theme of life lived through random chance, because I am bored, and because I have just run out of whisky: Tag, you are all it!
Directions: Put your iTunes/Winamp/WMP/whatever on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud (or not), and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.
1. How does the world see you?
Cheeseburger (Live) - Gang of Four
Wha?
2. Will I have a happy life?
Inspection - Leftfield
Wait, what’s that supposed to mean? Should I avoid airports and rubber gloves?
3. What do my friends think of me?
Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles
It’s more polite than what I suspect the actual answer is.
4. Do people secretly lust after me?
We’re All In Love - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
I swear, that’s what played!
5. How can I make myself happy?
Gone - U2
Well, yes.
6. What should I do with my life?
Assessment - The Beta Band
7. Will I ever have children?
Heartbeats - The Knife
I don’t like what this implies…
8. What is some good advice for me?
Hún Jörã - Sigur Rós
Um, I don’t know what that means. I guess it’s about as good as any other piece of advice I’ve ever been given?
9. How will I be remembered?
Sometimes - Pearl Jam
A literal answer, at last!
10. What’s my signature dancing song?
Sister Jack - Spoon
I’m beginning to lose faith with this ‘lead your life through random music’ philosophy.
11. What’s my current theme song?
Manitoba - Frank Black and the Catholics
“For I have seen the face of God, and I was not afraid. Yes I have seen the face of God, and I have dearly paid.”
12. What do others think is my current theme song?
Pounding - Doves
Huh?
13. What shall they play at my funeral?
A Song for the Dead - Queens of the Stone Age
Faith in philosophy is restored! I promise I’m not making this up. (Although - for the record - I demand that “Levitate Me” by The Pixies is played at my funeral.)
14. What type of women/men do I like?
Of Walking Abortion (Live) - Manic Street Preachers
O_o !
15. How’s my love life?
The Cactus Where Your Heart Should Be - The Magnetic Fields
16. To sum it all up:
Collapse - Soul Coughing
Sounds like a plan!

Well I, for one, am deeply disturbed that your answer to “15-How’s My Love Life” turned out to be a song about vibrators…

*phew* That’s the only one you’re disturbed by?

No, but that’s the one that sticks out. So to speak.
