Well, I don’t really have much to blog about, but both Tim and Travis have done the meme, so I feel like I can waste 20 minutes listening to music and trying to be clever. Here goes:

Opening Credits: Stan Bowles - The Others. Ah, my movie is going to be fast paced and Anglophilic. Possibly “Velvet Goldmine”-like. Sounds like fun.

Waking up: It’s On - The High Strung. Chiming upbeat anthems about infidelity really set the mood for the day.

Falling in love: Sha-la-la-la-lee - The Small Faces. “I held her close and I asked if she was gonna be my baby. It felt so good when she answered me ‘Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah!’” Apparently love makes me act like a child of the 60’s. Who knew?

Fight song: Gettin’ Hungry - The Beach Boys. So my fights involve “searching for a pretty girl”, start and stop organ lines, and three part harmony.

Break up song: What Do You Do When Love Dies - Dusty Springfield. “What do you do when love dies? Somebody help me, I’m losing my mind!” Perfect choice. Passionate, and still somehow upbeat, leading us to…

Making Up: Love Train - Wolfmother. Make-up sex, 70’s hard rock style. Oh yeah.

Life’s Okay: Teenage Kicks - The Libertines. Apparently things going well still means “I need excitement and I need it bad. Wanna hold you, wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight and get teenage kicks all through the night.” Sounds pretty good, actually.

Mental Breakdown: Fumblin’ with the Blues - Tom Waits. My breakdown is going to involve heavy drinking, prostitutes and shooting pool. I can see the shots of stumbling through the wet city streets at night, neon blinking, a lone Caddy prowling under the bridge.

Driving: G.T. Road - Clinton. Fast-forward to 3 years later, somewhat cleaned up and cruising through the jungles of Southern Asia as a small time arms dealer (or possibly heroin dealer, what do you think?), Thai whore by my side.

Flashbacks: Shooting Stars - Mosquitos. Ah the idyllic days of my youth romping through sunny English meadows and Mediterranean beaches.

Happy Dance: Imperial Attack - John Williams (Star Wars OST). Happiness is having a battle station that’s fully operational.

Regret: Don’t Ask Me Why - The Eurythmics. “You spoiled the best years of your life. You took them all in vain. Now you think that you’re forgiven, but you can’t be born again.” Apparently the arms dealing, the whoring, and heavy drinking took their toll. Who would have thought?

Final Battle: I Got You (At the End of the Century) - Wilco. Alright, apparently I’m only going to make it through 2000, cause I keep talking about how the 70’s were great. But I’m getting my girl back, cause I can’t think of anything but her.

Death Scene: Roadrunner - The Modern Lovers. So this is how I’m going to go… radio on, cranked up, driving down a windy New England highway in the middle of the night, off into the ditch, smashed into a tree at 75, smile on my face, I’m in love with rock and roll! All of this is kind of making me feel like some sort of more Eurocentric Hunter S. Thompson kind of character.

Final Credits: I’m On Standby - Grandaddy. In which the end of life is kind of like being a computer down for maintenance. Once the work order is completed, we can go back online. It’s jut the turn of the century version of reincarnation.
