Roger posted a MEME that I thought would be interesting to do, mostly because I have the means of shuffling music that I would listen to. Here is how it works:
1. Put your music player on Shuffle
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT (this is in capital letters, so it is very serious).
So here is what my iPod spit out:
1. IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY?
“Lay Down Your Guns” - Emerson, Lake, and Powell
2. WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
“Flight Over Rio” - Al DiMeola (Not sure if that would mean I’m air-headed or not.)
3. WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
“Boulevard of Dreams” - Tony Levin
4. HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
“Tangerine” - Led Zeppelin (Not a fan of tangerines actually.)
5. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
“Street Carp” - Deftones
6. WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
“Heartbeat” - King Crimson
7. WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
“The Traveler” - Joe Satriani (This would be very appropriate during my days before meeting Marcia.)
8. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS?
“The Day I Tried to Live” - Soundgarden
9 WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
“I’m Looking Through You” - The Beatles
10. WHAT IS 2+2?
“The Lovers” - Steve Hackett
11. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
“Kite Song” - Jade Warrior
12. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
“Everything You Did” - Steely Dan
13. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
“Sleep Together” - Porcupine Tree
14. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
“Giant Robots / Machines in the Modern City / Godzilla” - Praxis (Leave it to Bootsy Collins and Buckethead to be in the band that comes up with this song title.)
15. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
“Funny (All She Needs is Love) - Marcus Miller (Not necessarily correct, but appropriate.)
16. WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
“Stealing Society” - System of a Down
17. WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
“Pink Maggit” - Deftones (My iPod likes to stick a few songs from the same album close together in shuffle mode.)
18. WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
“Neonate” - Giant Squid (Well, if “Tom Sawyer” by Rush had come up, then it would have been right on.)
19. WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
“Mamelukki & Musta Leski” - Alamaailman Vasarat (Uh, yeah right! For the record, it’s a band from Finland and the band name roughly translates to Hammers of the Underworld. Don’t ask me what the song title translates to.)
20. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
“The Moon is Down” - Gentle Giant
21. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
“The Healing Colors of Sound, Part 1″ - Spock’s Beard
22. WHAT SHOULD YOU POST THIS AS?
“Ten Words” - Joe Satriani
If anything, this meme gives you a distorted cross section of what I have on my iPod. And honestly, I don’t listen to the Deftones very often, if much at all. I like a couple of their songs, but kept the whole album.

Thinking of your friends as the healing colors of sound is quite right on.

Very true. I forgot to mention something about that because I was too interested in what the next song was going to be, being the title of the post.
