this is pretty interesting/fun:
official soundtrack of my life, according to my ipod on random shuffle mode:

01 - OPENING CREDITS: cinderella's big score by sonic youth
02 - WAKING UP: immigrant song by led zeppelin
03 - FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL: marble house by the knife
04 - FALLING IN LOVE: wish you were here by pink floyd
05 - FIGHT SONG: no trust by the black keys
06 - BREAKING UP: someday soon by the doves
07 - PROM: like dylan in the movies by belle & sebastian
08 - LIFE: wildcat by ratatat
09 - MENTAL BREAKDOWN: people are strange by the doors
10 - DRIVING: fake plastic trees by radiohead
11 - FLASHBACK: the list by metric
12 - WEDDING: the instinct by denali
13 - BIRTH OF CHILD: suicide blonde by inxs
14 - FINAL BATTLE: in your room by depeche mode
15 - DEATH SCENE: comfortably numb by pink floyd
16 - FUNERAL SONG: mojo pin by jeff buckley
17 - END CREDITS: spanish caravan by the doves

some of the random songs actually seem to match the different stages of life. i'm trying to imagine my life pre-ipods, and it's a scary, almost impossible thought. i remember lugging around cds and my discman, and living on my mix-cds, different ones for rainy morning schoolbus rides and quiet moments spent copying schoolwork, trying to fall asleep at night, when i want to listen to something loud and energetic, or if i needed sappy music to cry to. but being able to carry around 30+4 GB of music with me all the time isn't necessarily a good thing. i end up listening to a lot of rubbish-- thousands of songs (some of which i don't even like), rather than a carefully-selected 20 or 50. it's a different experience altogether, and for that reason, i still take my discman with me when i go on holidays, and spend disgusting amounts of money on cds.
