I saw a friend do this the other day and it looked like fun.  Basically you just shuffle all your music and write down what songs come out next to the different scenes from the movie of your life. . .

Birth of A Child: Gogol Borrdello – When the Trickster Starts A-pokin’

Final Battle: The New Pornographers – Chump Change

Funeral Song: Guns ‘n’ Roses – November Rain

Ending Credits: Foo Fighters – My Hero

Now, I do have to admit I cheated some because I have so much random music and podcasts and spoken word stuff on my Zune that half the list would have made no sense.  So I skipped some songs and tracks if I didn’t recognize it or it was a stand up comic or something like that, all the songs did still appear randomly from my playlist though.

So what does this list say about my taste in music?  I think it says I’m a geek with a penchant for 90′s rock and Indie pop bands no one’s ever heard of.   Seems about right.
