I stole this.

I'm man enough to admit it, too.

I'm not proud of it (the stealing, that is) but I think it's a decently interesting mass e-mail forward bit of silliness/diversion. You should try it yourself. Come my happy diaper minions, take the "Life Soundtrack Challenge."

In case you haven't seen it, it's an attempt to come up with, well, songs that you would use or recall specifically for certain times/events/etc. Tis neat and it's been a long while since I posted a song list up here, so here goes:

Opening song: "Walkie Talkie" DJ Shadow
Waking up: " Why Does the Sun Shine?" They Might Be Giants
First date: "Plainsong" the Cure
First kiss: "Apocalypse Lips" Michael Knott
Falling in love:
(Early) "Let it Be" the Beatles
(Later) "Intolerance" Tool (no... I'm not bitter or anything...)
Seeing an old love: "B.P.D." Over the Rhine
Heartbreak: "Untouchable Face" Ani DiFranco, "Somebody Kill Me" Adam Sandler (from The Wedding Singer)
Driving fast: "Fixed Income" DJ Shadow (more of a groove thing) or "I Wanna Be Sedated" the Ramones (for, you know, just drivin' fast...)
Getting ready to go out: "Building Steam with a Grain of Salt" DJ Shadow
Partying with friends: "Brand New, You're Retro" Tricky
Dancing at a club: "O Fortuna" (cuz it's gotta be the end of the world...)
Flirting: "Hey Ladies" Beastie Boys
Walking alone in the rain: Track 3 (SAW V2) Aphex Twin, "Possession" (piano version) Sarah McLachlan
Going Home: Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd (entire album)
Missing someone: "Jimmy" the Lost Dogs
Playing in the ocean: "Five Feet High and Rising" Johnny Cash
Summer vacation: "Nobody's Fault But Mine" 77's
Fighting with someone: "Liar" Rollins Band or "Last" Nine Inch Nails
Acting goofy with friends: "Head Like a Hole" Devo
Traveling: Any Dylan before, say, '73
Thinking back: "Track One" from ( ) by Sigur Ros
Feeling depressed: "Latter Days" Over the Rhine
Christmas time: "We Just Go Nuts at Christmas Time" They Might Be Giants ("Christmas at Ground Zero" by Weird Al being a close second...)
Falling asleep: "Harm of Will" Bjork
Closing song: "Dig" Adam Again

Hm. More DJ Shadow than I would've expected. I'm sure I'll want to tweak in time. Anyway, I gots to be goin'
