Help! I've been forced to use Shuffle!
I was tagged by Lenore of Presenting Lenore for this fun, nonsensical meme:
1. Put Your iTunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp, etc on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Put the artist after a dash following the song name.
5. Put any comments in brackets.
6. Tag some lucky people to spread the disease.
I'd like to admit here that I have never, ever, since the invention of digital audio of any kind, used the shuffle button. I am a woman of order, Lenore! But for you, I will break my own rules and play.
How would you describe yourself? Planet Caravan -- Black Sabbath (accurate! uncanny!)
How do you feel today? Kids -- Jamiroquai (Again, accurate - okay - that's creepy.)
What is your life’s purpose? Aftermath -- Tricky
What is your motto? Numb -- Portishead
What do you think about very often? Blue 7 -- Sonny Rollins
What is your life story? Driving Wheel -- Al Green
What do you want to be when you grow up? Wow -- Kate Bush
What will you dance to at your wedding? Oh Lately it's so Quiet -- OK Go (I mean this in the nicest way - but I've been married nearly 17 years an isn't this funny??!!) (In reality, our wedding song was "Adore" by Prince - which might be significant to those who read the dedication in The Dust of 100 Dogs.)
What will they play at your funeral? On a Plain -- Nirvana (Seriously. I didn't even know I have Nevermind on this machine!)
What is your hobby/interest? Go on Now -- James Brown
If you could do anything right now, what would it be? The Ocean -- Led Zeppelin (Again - this is getting weird.)
What do you want most of all? Black Coffee in Bed -- Squeeze
What is your greatest fear? They Won't Go When I Go -- Stevie Wonder (This is really weird, how these are fitting. Also, this is one of the greatest songs ever written.)
What is your darkest secret? War Pigs -- Black Sabbath
What is your favorite thing in the world? Karma Coma -- Massive Attack
If you could have one wish, what would you wish for? Wandering Star -- Portishead
What is your theme song? Crepsucle with Nellie -- Thelonious Monk
The next time you hear this song (aside from now, that is), you must dance. Louder than a Bomb -- Public Enemy
I tag:
Lisa McMann -- because I just challenged her to show me her high school picture, and this acts as something that might make the original challenge look like lint.
and Joanne Levy -- because I'm curious about what she's got in her iPod.
Thanks for that, Lenore! It turns out playing really loud music down here in my underground hideaway really helps block out the 14-month-old screaming her head off upstairs!

You have great taste in music!! They actually kind of fit with the questions which is kind of cool and ironic (: Love your books!
I want you to know that the songs in my iTunes are not at all representative of what I listen to (I don’t really listen to much music), which will make this quite fun. I have a handful of songs I like, combined with my 12-year-old daughter’s songs, mixed with hundreds of American musical show tunes (!!!), due to my helping out a theatre professor friend organize and burn his CDs for a class he was teaching. So this could be interesting!

These are fun. Wait - are we going to see a mullet???
