I have come across this on a few forums, blogs, and music magazines. Everyone wants to know what the soundtrack is to her or his life. Well, here is the breakdown. Go to your iTunes library or Windows Media library or put all your best CDs in your multidisc stereo and put the songs on shuffle.
Below you will see all the cliché categories that make up a movie narrative, so imagine these categories summing up the path of what makes up your life. The first song that turns on from your shuffle will be the opening credits track, the next song you hear will be the waking up track, and so forth.
The songs provided are the ones I encountered when I hit shuffle.
Opening Credits:
“In Limbo” by Radiohead
Waking Up:
“Dance with Me” by Nouvelle Vague
Falling In Love:
“The Mariner’s Love Song” by the Decemberists
Fight Scene:
“Moonage Daydream” by David Bowie
Breaking Up:
“Start Making Sense” by Peter, Bjorn, and John
Making Up:
“Breathe Like You’re Dancing” by Sybris
Life’s Okay:
“Razzle Dazzle Rose” by Camera Obscura
Mental Breakdown:
“Brown Boxes” by Spinto Band
Driving:
“Here Comes the Summer” by the Fiery Furnaces
Flashbacks:
“Harrowind Hill” by Thom Yorke
Happy Dance:
“Street Spirit” by Radiohead
Regretting:
“Pete Standing Alone” by Boards of Canada
Final Battle:
“Ballad of a Comeback Kid” by the New Pornographers
Death Scene:
“Lady of Dreams” by VAST
Ending Credits:
“Calling Me” by the Rapture
After the list was complete, some of the songs that were “chosen” I thought were amusing. I was glad to see a Bowie song was picked for my fight song; I love the Razzle Dazzle Rose song by Camera Obscura, so having that as my “Life is okay” montage was pleasing; I am not sure about Street Spirit being the happy dance song; for regretting, Pete Standing Alone seemed fitting but the winner is Lady of Dreams by VAST as the Death Scene, that is the most appropriate.
Let me know if you want a copy of the Proud Gemini soundtrack. Also, to my viewers, you should try this out and let me know what your outcome was.

So. In that order, I choose? Okay. I don't have shuffle, so I'll throw my CDs in the air and pick them up randomly.
Is this something like the formula where you decide what your porn name is ...
Porn name: Lee Chestnut (middle name+street I've lived on)
I forget the whole porn name formula. Is it your first pet's name and the street you currently live on? If that's the case then my porn name is Woody Walti.
I think everytime I write a story that needs a dirty-creepy-old man, Woody Walti is going to be the name, screw the porn industry.
