QotD: My Musical Horoscope

nobody@vox.com(sudama) — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 11:00:17 -0400

What's your musical horoscope? (Put your music player on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs that come up.) Inspired by Stephanie.

I've got way too much crap on my iPod to shuffle, so here's an honest list of what came up and what was skipped. Now back to my previously playing M. Ward album ... just as soon as this Joan Baez song is over.

1. Bob Dylan, I Shall Be Free
2. Wilco, A Shot In the Arm
3. The Flaming Lips, Chewin' The Apple Of Yer Eye (skipped)
3. Gotan Project, Amor Porteño (skipped)
3. CPI, I Have No More Childhood Left? disc 2 (skipped)
3. Asheru and Blue Black of the Unspoken Heard, Black Moses
4. Beatles, Paperback Writer (skipped)
4. Pavement, Spit on a Stranger
5. Pixies, Break My Body (skipped)
6. Nas, If I Ruled the World
7. Morrissey, All the Lazy Dykes
8. The Beach Boys, Caroline No
9. Iron and Wine, Fever Dream
10. David Gray, Late Night Radio (skipped)
10. My Morning Jacket, Lay Low

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was using his Mac with Onlife. Across the Onlife window stretched dits and dashes of color; one set of bars belonged to each program he'd used that day.

When he'd scrolled across the entire day, he looked back at the dits and dashes. He noticed that once or twice the dashes vanished completely.

This really bothered him and he figured Onlife must be buggy. He drafted an email to the developer. "You said that Onlife would record all my activity in iTunes, Mail.app, NetNewsWire, Safari, and iChat. But I have noticed that for about twenty minutes today, Onlife recorded nothing at all. What gives?"

Onlife replied, (this is a dream, after all) "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you don't see any activity, it was then that you were productive."
