Slumming with a Meme

You can thank JustaGirl today, because without her meme inspiration I'd be posting about last night's intense "Lost" ending and the virtues of new Three Cheese and Chicken Quesadilla Lean Pockets (mighty tasty!).

So now that you've been spared from that, here's the Random Music Meme:

Put your music player on shuffle. Press forward for each question. Use the song title as the answer to the question. Post on your blog. Comment back if you post it on your site. No comment regarding whatever songs that might come up (although I think I'll make some). Stolen from LOTS of bloggers.

Question 1: Where is your office located?
Answer: "Regrets" by Ben Folds Five. (boring)

Question 2: What happens when you drink too much? (that last song would have been good for this question)
Answer: "Your Stripes" by Buffalo Tom (yawn)

Question 3: What are your feelings about President Bush? (another question the first song would work for, although I didn't vote for the bastard)
Answer: "Good Grief" by Foo Fighters (pretty good)

Question 4: What's your latest blog obsession? (how's a song title supposed to be an interesting answer to that one?)
Answer: "The Angels' Share" by Geddy Lee (lame answer and song)

Question 5: How do you feel about your separation? (huh?)
Answer: "The Infant of Prague Customized My Van" by The Dead Milkmen (???)

Question 6: Name a topical song. (that's not a question)
Answer: "Golden" by Pond (okay, whatever)

Question 7: Give me the obligatory cleavage quote. (again, not a question, and makes little to no sense)
Answer: "Guelah Papyrus" by Phish (how's that for obligatory!)

Question 8: Fantasy Song #1. (do you even know what a "question" is?)
Answer: "Cinderella Man (live)" by Rush (kind of a Cinderella-fantasy connection, I guess)

Question 9: Fantasy Song #2. (I guess you don't)
Answer: "The Old Apartment" by Barenaked Ladies (I got nuthin')

Question 10: Describe your sex life. (back to elementary school with you)
Answer: "Brain of J" by Pearl Jam (gross)

Now I'm going to add a step to the meme and rearrange the answers to go with the best questions:

1. Where is your office located?
A. "The Old Apartment"

2. What happens when you drink too much?
A. "The Infant of Prague Customized My Van"

3. What are your feelings about President Bush?
A. "Brain of J" (as in Jelly)

4. What's your latest blog obsession?
A. "Your Stripes"

5. How do you feel about your separation?
A. "Regrets" (not to be taken literally)

6. Name a topical song.
A. "Guelah Papyrus"

7. Give me the obligatory cleavage quote.
A. "The Angels' Share"

8. Fantasy Song #1.
A. "Cinderella Man (live)"

9. Fantasy Song #2.
A. "Good Grief" (exasperation setting in)

10. Describe your sex life.
A. "Golden"

Okay, it was kind of lame, but it beats trying to stretch something about Lean Pockets.

More iPod: "Release" by Pearl Jam, "Someone Said Your Name" by Thanks To Gravity, "Take a Look" by Liz Phair (for some reason this song was in my head in the shower this morning), and "Stupid" by Toad the Wet Sprocket.
