Sun, 8 Jun 2008 22:06:17 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/_deeperthewound/journal/2008/06/08/20klz1_itunes_shuffle_poem. This was quite good fun, if not slightly frustrating. The finished product is pretty bleak, I think.

Rules: Put your playlist on shuffle and write down the first 24 songs you get:

1. KT Tunstall - Hold On
2. Eminem - Kim
3. Ill Nino - With You
4. Billy Joel - You May Be Right
5. Bowling for Soup - Ohio (Come Back to Texas)
6. Kickstart - Harmonica
7. Funeral for a Friend - All Hands on Deck, Pt. 2: Open Water
8. Savage Garden - Tears Of Pearls
9. KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
10. Marillion - The Only Unforgivable Thing
11. Electric Light Orchestra - Ma-Ma-Ma Belle
12. Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around With Jim
13. Marillion - Bitter Suite (I. Brief Encounter II. Lost Weekend III. Blue Angel)
14. Nightwish - Sahara
15. Korn - Lies
16. Dixie Chicks - Landslide
17. Korn - Twisted Transistor
18. Keane - A Bad Dream
19. The Darkness - Holding My Own
20. Jimmy Eat World - Here It Goes
21. Idlewild - Welcome Home
22. Ben Harper - I Shall Not Walk Alone
23. Macho Man Randy Savage - I'm Back
24. Emmylou Harris - Bottle Let Me Down

Now take the first line from the first song, the second line from the second song, third line from the third song, etc. and put them in order below to make your scrambled song. If the song doesn't have enough lines loop back to the beginning--like if you need the 22nd line but the song only has 15 lines, you start counting again with the first line as line 16 and end up using line 7.



Say you to me, you're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
That's daddy's baby, little sleepy head
So just cry your fears, yeah
I was only having fun, wasn't hurting anyone

There's nothing wrong with Ohio
I don't have to cry, you don't have to try
Deep water, I can smell the blood
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away, like stolen pearls

This is what I wanna be
Is curled up in the wardrobe with my clothes
I'll keep on, with my heavy load
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger

She was a wallflower at sixteen
Chasing him across the waves
I want to see the life you have disguised
But time makes you bolder

A lonely life where no-one understands you
But you're long gone, yeah you're long gone now
Give or take a tear or two
Stand on up, everyone in queue in costume

Stop, and turn around
I know sometimes it gets cold in here
Every time I'm in the streets people still show love
Tonight the bottle let me down]]> http://www.last.fm/user/_deeperthewound/journal/2008/06/06/20fl0s_itunes_shuffle_quiz_thingy.

Too many to list.

20. Which musical instrument do you dream of learning how to play?
Violin, cello, Uilleann pipes, piano, and I want to get much better at guitar.

21. Do you play in a band? If yes, which kind of music and what is your part in the band?
Nope. :(

22. Did you ever go out with a musician?
Yep.

23. And what song are you listening to right now?

I used to sometimes at home. Don't really any more.

45. To which musical culture to you think you belong to?
Um. That's a pretty silly question.

46. What is in your MP3 walkman at the moment?
My whole iTunes library.

47. Which importance have the musical taste of your boy/girlfriend? Friends?
It doesn't really matter what they listen to. I like that my friends back home like rock and metal because it means we can all go out to the same clubs, and I actually have people to go to gigs with, unlike here at University.

48. Hanson moves in next to your house, do you go introduce yourself or make everything possible so they want to move somewhere else?
I'd love that! "Mmmbop' or whatever was annoying, but I don't mind their recent stuff. I'm sure they're lovely guys.

49. Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, is that your thing?
Depends what mood I'm in. Sometimes a nice cup of tea and an Emmylou Harris record is all you need.
