- This is surprisingly hard. Probably the hardest thing I've done since I finally figured out how to unsnap a bra with two fingers.
- This has to be the wussiest soundtrack ever. I almost used Craig David.
- I wish I could figure out how to fit in Tegan and Sara, David Bowie or Gil Scott Heron.

[scaryice]

I limited each artist to one song on my list. To do this, I basically picked most of my favorite bands and found a song that applied to one of the categories. What's interesting is that I didn't pick my favorite songs by the artists, just the ones that fit. I picked songs that I like that I would play if I was in the situation. This was a lot of fun, I gotta say. I think the hardest one for me was dying, probably because I haven't experienced that yet.

seconded.

[skipshady]

I limited each artist to one song on my list.I did that too, I'm pretty sure - otherwise, it could very well have been Elliott Smith's greatest hits with a little Wu thrown in.

I also tried to avoid songs that are associated with other soundtracks, but I failed with "Love Will Come Through" by Travis (Garden State), "Caramel" by Suzanne Vega (Closer) and "Save Me" by Aimee Mann (Magnolia) so I clearly didn't do a very good job. I probably spent about 3 hours going through my mp3 and CD collections.
