Type these words into your music library and name the first song that appears.
[NB I wasn't sure how to sort them - I normally have the library sorted by artist name, so that's what I've gone with in the end]
Happy: "Happy Home" by Garbage (the second one is also Garbage - "I'm Only Happy When It Rains")
Sad: "Sad Hours" by Bo Diddley & Mainsqueeze
Love: "Far From In Love (Shanes4 Mix)" by Above & Beyond - this one came from a trance compilation I picked up at a charity shop.
Hate: "Thin Line Between Love And Hate" by Annie Lennox.
Light: "The Living Daylights" by A-Ha - the James Bond theme.
Dark: "Voice In The Dark" by Autopilot Off - another CD found at a charity shop, I thought it looked interesting.
Good: "I'm Having A Good Day" by Anti-Flag - yet another CD from a charity shop, I'd seen the band name before in punk compilations, thought I'd have a listen.
Bad: "Grey Suits" by Bad Astronaut - this one came from a punk compilation album! The first song turning up with "Bad" in the title was "Girl All the Bad Guys Want" by Bowling For Soup.
Just for fun, I thought I'd try it sorting by most often played:
- "Happy Ending/Over My Shoulder" by Mika
- "Sad But True" - top is the bluegrass cover version, second is Metallica's S&M concert version
- "Ever Fallen In Love?" by The Buzzcocks
- "Wasted My Hate" by Metallica
- "I Saw The Light" by The Rosinators - a pretty good bluegrass band
- "Dark" by Illdisposed
- "Twisting To Look As Being A Good" by SnowdropExplodes - taking a couple of lines from a Feministe's Next Top Troll a year or two back, I generated a rave track, which I have just uploaded to my new tumblr.
- "Bad Wine" performed by Michele Welborn - Wonderful folk singer, and a real influence in my life!
I don't know what any of this reveals about me, but anyway, please do leave a comment if you felt inspired to have a go yourself.

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
