MUSIC TAG TIME! Thanks to ReelLifeJaneway2

You can tell a lot about someone by the music they listen to. 

Hit shuffle on your iPod/Phone/iTunes/media player and write down the first 10 songs.Then pass this onto 10 people.

Full disclosure, I cheated a little bit. My iPod (64GB iPod Touch) has A LOT of music on it, A LOT of which hasn’t been listened to in quite some time. So I shuffled my “4 Star” Playlist, which still has over 1,500 songs in it (and includes the “5 stars” as well, of course).

Links are to YouTube:

Let My Love Open the Door – Pete Townsend (Grosse Pointe Blank Soundtrack). Great movie, if one enjoys dark, occasionally macabre humor. Minnie Driver is fantastic.

Castle of Glass – Linkin Park (Living Things). Ahh, Linkin Park, the ultimate purveyor of love it/hate it music.

Place To Hide – O.A.R. (The Rockville LP). I am sooo glad this one came up. For fans of Starshine, this is absolutely, indisputably Alex & Caleb’s theme song for Vertigo, so feel free to keep that in mind as you read. PERFECTION.

Set the Fire to the Third Bar – Snow Patrol (Eyes Open). I found Snow Patrol late, but I have more than made up for the lost years in number of plays of pretty much all their songs.

Champagne Supernova – Oasis (What’s the Story, Morning Glory?). Ahh, Oasis, the ultimate one-album-wonder flameout. But this is an amazing song.

Times Like These (Live) – Foo Fighters (Skin and Bones). Foo Fighters, oh how I adore thee. While I would never admit (publicly) to being glad Nirvana broke up, I am most thankful we got Dave Grohl as a result. Silver lining and all.

Good Friend and a Glass of Wine (Live) – LeAnn Rimes & Joss Stone (CMT Crossroads). Check out the video, this is a great performance. LeAnn is masterfully trained, but Joss Stone can just sing. As an aside, I will also note that hearing this song inevitably leads straight to that glass of wine.
 

Goodbye Stranger – Supertramp (The Very Best of Supertramp). Don’t judge me.

M4 Part II – Faunts (Mass Effect 1 Soundtrack). I swear it randomly came up….  

Demons – Imagine Dragons (Night Visions). Oh look, it’s Alex & Caleb’s Starshine theme song! Funny story: I’ve spent the last year so engrossed in writing that I’ve completely tuned out new pop culture, and I totally “missed” Imagine Dragons. My husband was on a business trip in Mexico a few months ago and saw the Demons music video on the Mexican MTV channel (the only TV he watches when he's there, comes home humming Banda music). He sent me the link with the message, “Buy this album, now.”

Now I'm supposed to tag TEN people...okay, here goes: JulesHawke, Fischmeister4 (tagged her last time, don't care  ), EveFarrel, LadyIlona1984, RobbieLocksley, JaneXalenko, elvenmageus, SpartanSheba, Merwild ...and I would tag RiHouston, but she already did the music tag...so I won't  .

So you guys would probably like to see some game art or spacescapes from me sometime this year, right? I'll see what I can do. I'm trying to get through a completionist DAO/DA2 run before DAI comes out, so I do have the screenshots!
