Liquid Nonsense

I thought this was an interesting enough meme to post. The general idea is that you set iTunes to random and play through your music writing down the songs the program selects in order. Personally, I'm not entirely sure what to think of my movie. Thematically speaking, it's definitely about drug usage as noted by the frequent oscillations between rock and psychedelic electronica.

Production Commentary:



I particularly enjoy the progression of my love scenes. Any first date that could be set to Pink Floyd's Sheep is probably not going to see a second one. I especially like the line from the lyrics "He leadeth me the silent waters by \ with bright knives \ he releaseth my soul." If that's the first date, then I guess it would be appropriate to follow it up with the Gin Blossoms - 29, 'cause they are just SO uplifting. Featured lyrics from the song: "through good and bad and straight through indifference" , "there's no intentions worthy of mention" , and "Some rides don't have much of a finish." Not sure what kind of sex comes after that, but I'm betting it's angry from me being robbed of an evening in my life hence Bloodhound Gang's No Hard Feelings. At the fight scene I either realize that my date has psyionic powers, or I take a shit ton of drugs and attempt to attack his soul. Shpongle isn't really fight music, so I'm curious how that would end up. What's truly amazing is that the flute Divine Moments of Truth ends on is the same flute that Exhalation starts with despite the fact they are from different CDs. I'm also apparently ridiculously pissed off about getting cheated on- like dizzy with rage pissed. Ironically, the breakup song is actually a really heartfelt song (ZZ Top - Goin' so good)despite the fact everything has been exceptionally lackluster, not to mention super hypocritical on my part, up to this point. I really feel the getting-back-together song just says "Hey, can we still be fuck buddies?"

My party scene is simply nuts. The song makes me think of a party filled with people, loud music, and I'm strangely by myself- wandering in and out of the crowds looking for a clique to hang with and ultimately rejecting them all. One of those nights where you want to be near people, but not interacting with them.

The mean breakdown is absolutely perfect. Does anyone else get the impression that it's a song about surrealistic fisting? 'Cause that's totally how I envision my mind collapsing.

Shpongle's Falling Awake? Yup, if by "Deep Thought" they meant "more drugs." Same thing can be said for the flash back. I'm not sure what Underworld would be flashing back to, but I'm betting it was "more drugs." I mean the lyrics are literally gibberish.

My death is awesome. Not only does my death occur in a rave scene, but the words: "I was lost \ And I'm still lost \ But I feel so much better \ 'Cause now I know \ It's not so far \ To where I go \ The hardest part \ Is inside me \ I need \ To just be." Then I die. In the business we call that "irony."

The closing credits just make me think of all my friends standing over my lifeless body going "huh, that's a real shame."
