i like this game, but i have all podcasts and audiobooks on one ipod and music and movies on the other, so my choices on the music side are limited

me, too. I'm even thinking of getting a third one so I can put all the classical and jazz on one ad the rock and roll on another.

Hey, that's not a bad idea.

Why? You can listen to the music by playlist or even genre on most (basically anything other than the shuffle) iPods.

Why? Because my main iPod is full and I could free up a lot of space by taking off the other two genre.

Use the iTunes DJ function on iTunes. That should scramble your music collection into a random mix.

First Day At School: Fight the Power--Public Enemy
Falling In Love: My Best Friend's Girl--The Cars (nice!)
Breaking Up: If I Can't Come Back--The Reigning Sound

Okay. Weirdest ******* soundtrack ever.

Just listened to Breaking Up: If I Can't Come Back--The Reigning Sound. Seems kind of punkishly appropriate.


Your driving/chase scene sounds like it might be a Judd Apatow comedy of errors with Too Late--Wire.

Very odd.

What kind of flashbacks are you into jespah?!

I'm rebooting my own life's biopic right now. It's the big Hollywood thing to do with a well tread and overused franchise these days.

Opening Credits: Sick Muse by Metric;

Waking Up: The Very Thought of You by Wynton Marsalis.
That's a jarring transition. From grrl rock to melancholic jazz at it's best.

Falling In Love: The Quality of Mercy by Michelle Shocked;

Breaking Up: Lady Eboshi from the Princess Mononoke score;

A song that's ironically fitting for hipsters and people too cool for school.

Driving: Sonatine: II. Mouvement de Menuet by the piano god Leon Fleisher;

Flashback: Fishermen, Strawberry And Devil Crab by Miles Davis;

Wedding: Charlie, Woody and You / Study #22... lesser known jazz by the pop piano maestro Bruce Hornsby;

This was an actual coincidence not a manipulated song for this faux-cinematic event.

Death Scene: The Gypsy Wife by the legendary Leonard Cohen;

Funeral song: Where Time Stands Still by one of my all time favorite singer/songwriters, Mary Chapin Carpenter;

Prom: Someone Else's Prayer by Mary Chapin Carpenter;
Mental Breakdown: Sonata - 1 by Jakoulov;
Driving: L'Inverno,F Major,op.8,no.4,II.Largo by Vivaldi. I guess my biopic will be some kind of feature length Jaguar commercial.
Flashback: It's Easy to Remember by Billie Holliday; Not cheating. Just pure accidental coincidence.
Getting back together: Stolen Memories from the Schindler's List soundtrack?!;
Wedding: New Chance Blues by the Punch Brothers;
Birth of Child: Laid So Low by Tears For Fears;
Swan song: And the Band Played On by the Wynton Marsalis Septet;
Death Scene: What Do You Do by Lyle Lovett. The title sounds more relevant then the actual song is to the category;
Funeral song: Soir De Fete from the Amelie soundtrack;
End Credits: Tango Suite: Andante by Piazzolla.

Fitting and eminently listenable waking up and funeral songs.
