via leslie, but as a show of blog support for laura. answer these questions by putting your music on random.

  • Will I get far in life?

    Billy Joel - 2000 Years. how literal.

  • How do my friends see me?

    Dean Gray - Dr. Who on Holiday (a mashup of Green Day's Holiday with The Timelord's (aka KLF) Doctorin' the Tardis, itself a mashup of The Doctor Who theme and Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part 1). I am a mashup of a mashup. And a particularly awesome one at that.

  • Where will I get married?

    djBC - Chanukah Song (GoyiMix) (a mashup of Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song with Van Halen's Jump, and some samples from Spartacus, The Godfather, Star Trek and Happy Days). a not particularly interesting, pretty messy mashup, which sound like a marriage to me.

  • What is my best friend’s theme song?

    Passion - I Wish I Could Forget You. no comment.

(At this point, every other song was christmas related, so i exercised some editorial control and skipped a bunch.)

  • What is the story of my life?

    The Dead Kennedys - MTV Get Off the Air. "If we have our way even you will believe this is the future of rock and roll." "You've turned rock and roll rebellion into Pat Boone sedation."

  • What was high school like?

    Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya & Pink - Lady Marmalade (Moulin Rouge soundtrack). unfortunately my sexual escapades in those years were basically nonexistent.

  • How can I get ahead in life?

    U2 - Grace. "It's a name for a girl; it's also a thought that could change the world." Dammit bono, which is it?

  • What is the best thing about me?

    DJ Danger Mouse - Encore (The Grey Album - mashup of Jay-Z's Encore with The Beatles' Glass Onion). "Oh yeah."

(At this point I am exercising editorial control again and eliminating any more mashups.)

  • How is today going to be?

    Thomas Newman - Black Angel (Angels in America score). Today will be very dramatic with some really dissonant violins.

  • What is in store for this weekend?

    The Apples in Stereo - Energy. partay! also, it's very kid disco friendly.

  • What song describes my parents?

    we are scientists - riffmaster b. "settle down. settle down."

  • My grandparents?

    Survivor - Eye of the Tiger. Not that appropriate really.

  • How is my life going?

    Brian Eno - 2/2 (Ambient 1: Music for Airports). well, until last week i guess this pretty much summed it up.

  • What song will they play at my funeral?

    Cutting Crew - I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight. Again with the literalness! Well I hope I do, even if I hope they don't play this song.

  • How does the world see me?

    Abba - Dancing Queen. laura i will totally trade you.

  • Will I have a happy life?

    The Beatles - I Want You. well that's only vaguely twisted.

  • What do my friends really think of me?

    stellastarr* - My Coco. "I sat alone and i didn't care. i sat 2 years in the same old chair."

  • Do people secretly lust after me?

    Regina Spektor - Samson. "You are my sweetest downfall."

  • How can I make myself happy?

    John Williams - Finale and End Credits (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). dum dadum duuum, dum daduuuum.

  • What should I do with my life?

    Regina Spektor - Music Box. "life inside the music box ain't easy. the mallets hit the gears are always turning. and every one inside the mechanism is yearning to get out."

  • Will I ever have children?

    The Cranberries - Linger. "you know i'm such a fool for you. you got me wrapped around your finger."

  • What is some good advice?

    Fairground Attraction - Perfect. "Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes; they're much too eager to give their love away."

  • What is my signature dancing song?

    The Blues Brothers Band - Peter Gunn.Fine I will stand here and menacingly tap my foot in time.

  • What do I think my current theme song is?

    She Wants Revenge - I Don't Want to Fall in Love. Well that's not true. man these guys need to chill out. then again, they know exactly what they're doing. ok, i can't listen to it anymore, on to the next one.

  • What does everyone else think my current theme song is?

    The Who - Sally Simpson. well that makes no sense at all. oh well. i always laugh at the line "Sally got married to a rock musician she met in California."

  • What type of men/women do you like?

    The White Stripes - Your Southern Can is Mine. mwahahaha.

  • What did you think of this meme?

    The Righteous Brothers - You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling. Damn straight phil spector. damn straight.

    Sunday morning,
    On the bed two half-eaten croissants.
    Sunday morning,
    We'll soon be out on the boulevards.

    Monday morning,
    We have to fly back home again.
    While I'm sleeping,
    You paint a ring on my finger with your black marker-pen.

    I'm all about you, you're all about me,
    We're all about each other.
    I'm all about you, you're all about me,
    We're all about each other.

    Is it any wonder I'm tired?
    Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
    Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

    Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand.

    Fuck it.

    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=129331636&s=143441&i=129331712
    You don't seem to grasp your own importance
