First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 8 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.

Nice!!

...the soundtrack would not be chosen by putting my music on shuffle. That's a stupid idea. Well, it's fun to do if it won't really become a movie, and you're just a bit bored. I did this on a forum elsewhere and decided it was good enough to transfer to my last.fm journal. If you can't be bothered reading everything, just skip to the funeral scene. It's amazing.

Opening Credits:
Main Titles (no, the ones from Mars Attacks!) - Danny Elfman
That's appropriate. Title music for the opening credits!

Waking Up:
Amateur Hour - Sparks
That's some good waking up.

Falling in Love:
No Spill Blood - Oingo Boingo
Less appropriate. I wonder who I'm supposed to be falling in love with here. This should have been the fight song. House of pain? Looking forward to that.


Fight Song:
Spastica - Elastica
It's okay, I suppose. Not...fighty enough, though.

Breaking Up:
In My Family - Sparks
Interesting.

Prom:
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Vernian Process
Eh...so I'm a spy at my prom? Or maybe it's just all very dramatic and dark.

Life:
Slowly Growing Deaf - Mr. Bungle
I'm going to have a terrible life.

Mental Breakdown:
Eels - The Mighty Boosh
So...I'll become new rave during my mental breakdown? Well, The Mighty Boosh IS quite appropriate for the purpose.

Driving:
Dance This Mess Around - The B-52's
Mmm - driving with a hippy-hippy-shake. Fits fairly well.
"HEY! Don't that make you feel a lot better? WHAT'D YOU SAY? I'm just ASK-ing!"


Flashback:
Carousel - Mr. Bungle
That is one terrifying flashback. I really did have a terrible life. This scene would be one hell of a trip.
"Merry-go-round your head...awake, asleep, alive or DEAD!"

Wedding:
Insects - Oingo Boingo
Fantastic. I'm either getting married in a jungle or my husband is hygiene's worst enemy.


Birth of Child:
The Bitch Don't Work - Elastica
That will be a violent, painful birth, summed up in a two-minute montage of blood and screaming.

Final Battle:
Blue Monday - New Order
That's pretty epic. I'll go down like a hero. A fantastic, synthtastic, new wave hero.

Death Scene:
Dead Goon - Mr. Bungle
Appropriate for death.

Funeral Song:
This Fire - Franz Ferdinand
Damnit! I really wanted an Oingo Boingo song here. Can I at least choose to play Dead Man's Party at the reception? This song's probably okay, though. Maybe I'd be cremated or something, or better yet, THE GROUND OPENS TO REVEAL THE FIERY PITS OF HELL! Oh, that's one hell of an epic ending. The coffin goes down first, and then I drag the funeral-goers (my friends, family and, of course, my forgiving enemies who decided to turn up) down with me! Then the coffin opens and my flaming corpse floats into the air as I scream, "MY SPIRIT SHALL NEVER DIE!"
Oh wow. I want to die now, just for that to happen.


Credits:
Whole Day Off - Oingo Boingo
Oh yes.
