LJ: iPodomancy

So here's the deal: You put your entire iTunes library on "random shuffle" (because it's not quite the same as the Party Shuffle...), and ask your iTunes a question. I guess you could probably use any other music player, as long as it has access to all the music on your computer--but then, it wouldn't really be iPodomancy (because that has a better sound to it than "iTunomancy"). So, here are my results. It'd be fun to do this every week, see how things change... and yes, I really did do this randomly (no matter how odd or related to the question the song may be).

4:57p the same day: Upon further reflection, some of those answers are pretty damn weird, right? The "how will I get ahead in life?" question and the "parents", "children" , "dancing" and "men" questions are particularly... well, I don't want to say they're accurate, but they are so related to the question, either in lyrics or title. Makal thinks the "how do your friends really see you?" question's answer of "Pretty When You Cry - Vast" stands out a lot. He finds that the lyrics lead to quite a submissive song. Hmm. Go figure, eh? It is just so amusing and, well, creepy in its own way: how my iTunes library answered my questions. Perhaps that's a sign of a very personalized music library? I do work a lot on fine-tuning my collection into extensive categories and playlists with detailed info, so perhaps it knows me as well as I know it. o.0 Oh, and technically, these responses were not taken directly from Strombergast (my computer), but were actually narrated to and translated by Makal's silver mini (which remains nameless, save for "silver mini"--which coincidentally, matches his silver iPod Mini; and wouldn't it be fucking sweet to have one of the new dual-core Intel Inside™ 13" black MacBooks, since it would match my 4GB black iPod Nano? Yes, yes it would!). Anyway, yeah, weird. Makes me want to do it again next week even more, just to see if it remains so. I could build up a variety of playlists featuring the iPodomancy results! *spooo000oky!*
