I went looking for that music shuffle meme for the heck of it

[cherydactyl]

Instructions: Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.

How does the world see me? Automaton -Howard Jones
[hahahahahahahahahaha]

Will I have a happy life? Fresh Air Waltz -Howard Jones
[Is this a prescription?]

What do my friends really think of me? Law of the Jungle -Howard Jones
[This is my favorite B-side, and should have been on an album IMO...but what does it mean as an answer to this question?]

What do people secretly think of me? Let It Flow -Howard Jones
[Another B-side] [Is this a different question???]

How can I be happy? Dancing Girls -Nik Kershaw
[bwhahahahahaha...you mean I should be one or hire some?]

What should I do with my life? Like to Get to Know You Well -Howard Jones
[the Live Acoustic America version, no less.]

What is some good advice for me? Look, Mama -Howard Jones
[So, basically, I should tell my mom to go hang? Hahahahah]

How will I be remembered? Don't Look Down -Go West
[*thoughtful*]

What is my signature dancing song? Tomorrow Is Now -Howard Jones
[If you say so.]

What do I think my current theme song is? Other People Are Us -Howard Jones
[Okay by me. This is a b-side from two deleted cd singles, or an Italian single on its own]

What does everyone else think my current theme song is? Overture -Howard Jones
[This is a medley of HoJo song themes done as an overture, a download from the officail web site...so, basically any HoJo. OK.]

What song will play at my funeral? Don't Put These Curses on Me
[Another B-side, not one I would actually choose, I think. I hope it's not 'cause I'm going to be cursed by the survivors.]

What type of men do I like? Things Can Only Get Better -Howard Jones
[the version from Metamorphosis, a Japanese-issue album of re-tooled singles and favorites...so, changing to positive seems to be the answer.]

What is my day going to be like? You Know I Love You, Don't You? -Howard Jones
[also the version from Metamorphosis]

Yes I know that was a lot of Howard Jones in there. Most of what I listen to is his stuff. With a few other 80s albums thrown in. The music I have ripped so far is 90% his stuff. Sue me. I was hoping that You're the Buddha or Out of Thin Air would come up. I.G.Y. a.k.a., International Geophysical Year (What a BeautifulWorld) would have been funny, as would have It Just Doesn't Matter. :D

Dude, I love Howard Jones, but don't currently have any of his songs on my iPod. Except for What is Love. I saw him in concert back in the 80's and he was awesome.

And I love Nik Kershaw too.

I've gone a little wild buying everything on CD of his. I haven't got a complete collection yet (still missing Working in the Backroom, his first non-Warner/dtox release and all the dtox singles, some miscellaneious asian releases...), but I have acquired all the Warner CD singles. I can't find my disc of Human's Lib; it's been missing for a bit now.

I suggest if you would like to get into him again, try the 1998 release People, or the electronic album released lat fall, Revolution of the Heart. Both 100% awesome albums.
