MP3 HOW WILL TOMORROW GO?

Oh

posted by The Whelk 23 August | 23:23

I love this idea. I also love "Pure Morning," so double-win, and thank you for reminding me of it.

OK, here we go: I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DISTANT FUTURE. MP3, HOW'S THAT GONNA GO?

Result: "A Little Mercy," The Duritti Column

Well, the title is positive, and the song itself is very free-form (and wordless), so I'll assume this is a good sign. A little mercy is always very, very welcome.

Dear iTunes,
Will I go crazy before the end of this week?

"Wide Open Spaces" by the Dixie Chicks.

But... but... my honeymoon is on the East Coast, not out west, and I am most comfortable snuggling in a cozy space with the ones I love.

I guess it's [not] Opposite Day...

Hey, you've all had answers that you can spin into something that makes sense. Let's see if I can get a completely off the wall one....

Dear iTunes,
WILL MY CITIZENSHIP PAPERS BE PROCESSED IN TIME FOR NEXT YEAR'S ELECTION? BECAUSE THESE THINGS CAN TAKE FOREVER.

"Tarpit", by Dinosaur Jr

That... doesn't sound promising.

OK, take two. This question, I think I can actually print:

Have I lost a friend?

Shonen Knife - Cookie Day

Well, I guess there's my answer.

Hopefully.

(tempting the fates I don't really believe in, but ok)

Hey ShuffleDios! - Please to describe for me, in one song, what I can expect from my courseload this semester!

*shuffle shuffle shake shake, wait for answer*

Bouncing Souls - East Coast Fuck You.

Sorry, middle-american Ag-School. Looks like I'm off to Amherst! (where's the MeCha scholarship/grant 'cos lord, I'd need it?)

Will I have to go on the cranberry bog road trip?

Best of What's Around - Dave Matthews Band

Looks like I'm going and making the best of it... :/

I still have painting to do tonight, but there's a lot of good beer in the fridge. Should I finish painting the office tonight or break into that beer and sit on the front porch?

and shuffle says:

Generation X - Wild Youth

I'm pretty sure Billy's not singing about painting, so it looks like I'll be drinking.

How do I stop procrastinating and finally get some work done today?

I. Elegy (Shostakovich, Quartet #15)

I... find that a bit opaque, to be honest. Maybe I'd better spend the rest of the morning trying to figure out what it means.
