Soundtrack To Your Life

Recommended Posts

I remember doing this on myspace a year or so back and then a similar thing was on Colin Murrays show on tut radio t'other day and were wondering what you think what the soundtrack to your life would be?

On Colin Murrays show for example he did his through the stages of birth to death including all the signinficant points throughout peoples lifes such as first day of school, first job, losing the v plates, first love, mid life crisis, retirement etc etc...

Whereas when i did it on myspace last year the outline i had was a bit different as it was in the form of a movie and as an actual soundtrack. Below is that outline and what i chose, (bear in mind this was July last year)

Opening Credits: Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

Waking Up: Awake - Dashboard Confessional

Falling In Love: Falling For You - Weezer

Fight Scene: Oh Yeah - The Subways

Breaking Up: Boy's Don't Cry - The Cure

Make-up: Boats And Birds - Gregory And The Hawk

Secret Love: She - Elvis Costello

Life's Okay: Hash Pipe - Weezer

Mental Breakdown: Can't Stand Me Now - The Libertines

Driving: I Could Have Had You - Dan Sartain

Flashbacks: City Traffic Puzzle - The Hush Sound

Happy Dance: Two Left Feet - The Holloways

Regretting: Everything Reminds Me Of Her - Elliot Smith

Long Night Alone: Jealous Guy - Elliot Smith

Final Battle: Juicebox - The Strokes

Death Scene: Music When The Lights Go Out - The Libertines

Final Ending: Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths

Credits: In The Waiting Line - Zero 7

Either use that outline or use the Colin Murray outline of big expieriences in life and lemme know what yours would be ...

I'd so watch that movie.

Or would I?

I'd buy the sodding soundtrack anyway.

Great shout on Superstition for the credits. Awesome.

Final Battle: Death In Vegas - Dirge

Now there's an act that doesn't get enough attention from me nowadays.

Dead Elvis (their debut) and Contino Sessions (2nd album) are about as different as you can get but I used to batter both of them. Need to dig those bad boys out again.

Contino Sessions was probably my favourite album at one time.

Criminally, I think I've lost and not even replaced it. Didn't even miss it till you just mentioned it.

I was listening to it again the other day for the first time in years, only reason I would have picked that song. Classic build.

I've only got Scorpio Rising. I assume it's worth grabbing t'others?

I thought it'd be poor at first, and only nabbed it for the dreamy track that was on Lost in Translation.

Contino Sessions pisses all over the others in my very humble opinion, especially Dirge, Aisha and Flying.

I used to have 2 albums - Contino Sessions and one other.

Contino Sessions was the one which I preferred.

Flying is a great track - as Fez points out. In fact, Dirge and Aisha are great too.

Worth tracking a copy down if you've not heard it.

Aisha! What a track.

Contino Sessions is indeed quality. I really like Dead Elvis too, it's worth getting just to see the contrast in styles they're capable of.

Haven't actually listened to Scorpio Rising, I'd heard it wasn't up to much.

It's the end of another long day and I'm not at my sharpest.

This doesn't sound like a compliment.

Damn it Fez, explain yourself.

:angry::dunno:

He digs your taste in music and is looking for something similar in a (preferably easy on the eye and good at chores) woman.

lol I was just saying I'd like to meet a woman with that sort of taste in music. :D

lol

The last gig my sister went to (yes, I do have one) was James Morrisson.

The painful irony being that it was me who took her for her birthday. She enjoyed it immensely. I tried not to be sick.

That reminds me, you didn't go to Sixfields cinema last Saturday night did you? Saw someone who was the spit of your old avatar.

Erm yeah- that was probably me Sir Fezzlington! Went to see Transformers- should have given us a shout!

He's an idiot.

I've had about 100 conversations with Fez about this.

Probably a great place to pull though - just turn up, obviously on your own and try to look interesting, misunderstood and sensitive - on a VERY superficial level.

Tell me what this song is called. Pwetty please. The intro scene right?
