283. More fun than the Magic 8 Ball (and just as silly).

I saw this on Sara with no H's site, and thought it would be fun to do.

The iPod Oracle
Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Ask the following questions, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question.

How does the world see you?
Grin by The Wonder Stuff from their album Eight Legged Groove Machine

Will I have a happy life? I'm changing the question.
Will I be even happier?

Brand New Day by Sting from his album Brand New Day

Not too cryptic. I like it!

What do my friends really think of me?

Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel on Piano Man: The Very Best Of

I think my friends would agree.

Do people secretly lust after me?
?! Now if iTunes tells me, it wouldn't be a secret would it?

Sick Again by Led Zeppelin from their Physical Graffiti album

I make people sick. Great. Now you tell me.

What should I do with my life?
I'm doing what I'm doing. I hate stupid "should" questions like this.

John the Revelator by Depeche Mode from Play The Angel

Hm. If your name is John the Revelator, give me a call. I'm curious.

Will I ever have children?
I can answer this: Yes. But, let's see what iTunes says:

God (The Thinking Mix) by Tori Amos from Over the Pink

I'm satisfied with that answer.

Give me some good advice.
Silence Kit by Pavement from Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain

I like that one too.

How will I be remembered?
Sweet Thing by Jeff Buckley from Live at Sin-é

I'm on a roll! I am a roll. A sweet white roll.

What is my signature dancing song?
I can't Stand Up For Falling Down by Elvis Costello and the Attractions from Best of

Hey! F*ck you, iTunes! This woman can dance!

What do I think my current theme song is?

Golden Goose by Todd Rundgren from Healing

Sure. I'll take that one.

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?

Alien by Bush from Sixteen Stone

I bet you think you're funny, don't you everyone else?

What song will play at my funeral?
Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd from Wish You Were Here

I'm sure that at my funeral I will wish I was there, too, having a cigar with my friends.

What type of men/women do I like?
I know what type of people I like, but does iTunes know?

Men: Fallen by Sarah MacLachlan from Afterglow

Women: Grinding Halt by The Cure from Three Imaginary Boys

Answer: For men, no. For the women, yes.

What is my day going to be like, tomorrow?
Sing the Absurb by The Wonder Stuff from Construction for the Modern Idiot

That sounds spot on. And it's a fitting answer for all of the above.

Such a great post today... as it shold be, since TODAY is your blogroll "debute" on my bloggy!

You and Mike are officially The Tanglers.
Why The Tanglers--
for one it starts with a "T",
for two moi has become tangled up in both your bloggys
& three my iPod told me to do it, natch!!!

In celebration of Le Big Day... please consult UR Magic 8 Ball/iPod... & ask ‘what is your celebratory dance’ in honor of grandious momentous occasion, la, la, whaaaaa--, laaaaa (found Chanel thingy, was under Dolce onezie--see Mike's bloggy).

Smooch,
The Tart

Wow! I'm a Tangler! Sounds so... adventurous and fitting.

OK. So, magic iTunes, "What is my celebratory dance?"

Drum roll....

The Encounter by Tan Dun & Yo-Yo Ma from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Hm. I like it!

Smooch back at ya.

Sara said...

Love, love, love your picks!

Love Sting's Brand New Day, and the Elvis Costello pick made me laugh!

Willie Baronet said...

JR, so that's what a tangler is. Beware of nicknames given to you by the Tart. :-) Love your post. HOWEVER, I'm always concerned that there was no Earth Wind and Fire coming up for your answers. I could have easily imagined Serpentine Fire, That's the Way of the World, or Fantasy for some of those questions. :-)

Unknown said...

Thank you, Sara! Great fun. I'm glad I saw it on your blog.

Willie--The magic of the oracle iTunes we know not, young padwah.(*)

(*) Star Wars reference, people! Geez. Yoda? Hello?

Willie Baronet said...

p.s. I am not mean. The tart is deranged, but that's why we like her. And I have to confess I secretly lust after you. So your 8-ball may not be all that accurate. :-)

TheTart said...

Oh boy.... HE is crazy AND fickle! Run for your lives.

Smooch,
The Tart

TheTart said...

BTW, would you please move me out of the blogroll where Willie is, he is giving me the creeps? ; )

Maybe he just needs his own section--MENTAL! ; (

Smooch,
The Tart

Unknown said...

Willie--I'm scared.

Tart--Done!

TheTart said...

I am so happy! Stitches...LOL.

Great story, my first cat after I left home was named Stitches! She was a very independent calico & chubby too. Made the best college roomie. =^..^=

Thanks for the new home on your blog... glad to be in good company!

Smooch,
The Tart

Willie Baronet said...

JR, you should be scared. :-) I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Willie Baronet said...

P.s. When do I get my special Mental category?

Unknown said...

Willie--Done!

Willie Baronet said...

Woohooooooo! I'm special! :-)

JR, I take back all the mean things I said about you.

(shhhh... fingers crossed behind back)
