This came in my inbox today and it was...interesting

WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, 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.


Opening Credits:
"Cretin Hop" Ramones. (okay, so this is either a trashy movie or the intro of a new character on the OC.)

Waking Up:
"White Unicorn" Wolfmother. (wow. I didn't like this song until just now. I can see the movie now. it's my first (and failed) novel.

Falling In Love:
"The Crusher" Ramones (yes, yes. like my first novel it will be about a guy who downloads the entire ramones discography, thinking that each of their 13 lives albums will come in handy some day)

Fight Song:
"Operation - Monopoly" Dane Cook (why the fuck didn't I delete this album after I failed to laugh? No wonder these characters are fighting already.)

Breaking Up:
"Koka Kola Advertising and Cocaine" The Clash, The Vanilla Tapes (really desperate demo version they made on a tape recorder before recording London Calling. This film is definately about some lonely loser who takes music too seriously)

Making up:
"This is Living" Elvis, sound track to Kid Galahad. (why did I insist on getting the elvis discography too? why did she take me back? Kid Galahad was my DJ name in college.)

Life's Ok:
"Gold Coins" Elvis, soundtrack to Girl Happy! (goddamit)

Mental Breakdown:
"Y'all Aint Ready" Kevin Federline. (unbelievable.)

Driving:
"Stephanie Says" Velvet Underground. (wow, most hopeful long ride home from a funeral ever.)

Flashbacks:
"Bama Lama Lu" the Sonics (okay...)


Happy Dance:
"My Little Brother" Art Brut. (that works)

Regret:
"Leavin' Here" The Rationals. (oh, right...that kind of regret. I thought it was going to be the Ramones again.)

Final Battle:
"Magnolia Mountain" Ryan Adams (only for the slow motion shot of the main character's face after he sees the blood from the snake that got him)

Death Scene:
"I'm Falling in Love Tonight" Elvis

Final Credits:
"Look into the Air" Explosions in the Sky (everyone exits the theater and slits their wrists.)

-
Okay so I refused to edit the last one. But I'm doing this again and:
Opening Credits:"Shakin' Street" MC5. (I like this movie better already.)
Waking Up:"Give Me the Right" Elvis
Falling In Love: "Natural Anthem" Postal Service
Fight Song: "One Boy Two Little Girls" Elvis (it already sucked the firs time he recorded it for a movie)
Breaking Up: "4 Horsemen" The Clash (man, how could she leave him again?)
Making up: "Fire Fire" M.I.A. (like me, this main character runs into former flames in loud clubs and parties and only then, without the ability to hear eachother, can they make up and get back together)
Life's Ok: "Pablo Picasso" Modern Lovers
Mental Breakdown: "Hardest Button to Button" Black Rebel Motorcycle Song
Driving: "Long Black Veil" Johnny Cash
Flashbacks: "Age of Assassins" Two Gallants
Happy Dance: "Heart of the City" Nick Lowe (in the early days of punk it seems that everyone was doing tons of drugs but no one was getting laid, so the nastiest punks of them all started recording songs for girls to rock out to. Maybe that's what this film will be about.)
Regret: "It's Now Or Never" Cornel Campbell, (from the reggae tribute to elvis that i regret buying)
Final Battle: "T.V. Eye" The Stooges (awesome)
Death Scene: "They Remind me too much of you" Elvis. (a fitting tribute)
Final Credits: "The Pledge Song" MC% (wow. my kind of story. ends at the beginning.)
