This is an updated version of my out-of-date sadsack and overlooked iPod game. Since iPods (and their respective frenemy music only mp3 players are no longer in style... here is the more internet friendly, tech savvy version).
Ladies and gentlemen, here is a very common and relatively simple forum game (if you are fortunate enough to have a decent sized digitalized music collection that is).
1. Open your digital music streaming source (Spotify, Pandora, iFart Radio, etc...);
2. Go to Liked from Radio or equivalent section;
3. Press play with the shuffle feature on;
4. For every category, type in the song and artist that's playing;
5. Go to a new category, press the next button to go to the next random song, type it under that category. Etc... until the categories are full (1 song per event category);
6. Try and not skip songs if possible, that's the fun of this musical exercise, the whimsical outcome. Besides, you will find a lot of music can be strangely relevant to a lot of these categories even if at first glance they seem to conflict. I will make one concession. You will be allowed to veto at least one random song/category pairing.
Some people are so demanding! Sheesh!
