Knitting blog, shmitting blog. Time for a cruise through the iPod- after all, it's on a lot of the time I'm knitting!
If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?

Here’s how it works:
1. open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)
2. put it on shuffle
3. press play
4. for every section, type the song that’s playing
5. next section — press the next button
6. don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool

I'm not very cool, but let's see what pops up.

Opening Credits: Cake, "Frank Sinatra" (good opening riffs, so that's cool)

Waking Up: Final Fantasy soundtrack, "Flight to the Wasteland" (hmm... not bad)

First Day at School: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, "Summertime" (somehow seems not as a propos)

Falling in Love: Escaflowne Movie soundtrack, "Sora" (I'll take it- I really like that song and it's very passionate)

Breaking Up: Slayers Try, "Slayers Try Theme" (apparently my iPod is on an anime kick?)

Prom: Pale Saints, "A Thousand Stars Burst Open" (not very dance-able- but I suppose it could be a slow-dance?)

Life's Okay: Tori Amos, "Happy Phantom" (And if you died today, I'd be a happy phantom... and run naked through the street... I would wake up in strawberry fields every day... interesting.)

Mental Breakdown: Raymond Wong, Shaolin Soccer soundtrack, "Opening Theme" (a pretty appropriate choice, techno makes mental breakdowns)

Driving: Regina Spektor, "Somedays" (lyrical singable- perfect for my driving moods)

Flashback: Peter Frampton, "Lines on my Face"

Getting Back Together: Steel Pier soundtrack, "The Shag" (too funny- though the song isn't quite as "get it on" as it sounds)

Wedding: Everclear, "Normal Like You" (definitely not a fit!)

Birth of Child: Tori Amos, "Spring Haze" (don't know on this one- seems a bit quiet for the birth, but maybe for the aftermath?)

Final Battle: Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack, "They Say the Meek Shall Inherit" (great!)

Death Scene: Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within soundtrack, "The Eighth Spirit" (ethereal instrumental with nice booming moments and a bit eerie-sounding- pretty good fit)

End Credits: Placido Domingo, "Aquellos ojos verdes" (suitable I suppose, I'm surprised there wasn't more operatic music earlier in the set)
