In one of my old sketchbooks from high school I found one of Tye Bernick's assignments:
Compile a list and burn a CD of 10 - 15 songs that will each individually represent an event that has taken or is taking place in your life, which is significant emotionally, or in some other fashion. (Each song will be representative of a different event, person whom has affected you, so that it will be like a soundtrack of significant events in your life).
-These songs need to belong on a CD together: choose carefully.
** NOTE: You may of course put your own music on the CD. The original concept was to relate your feelings about something to another person's music; however, if you compose or perform you may certainly use music of your own.**
There was also a written aspect in our journals, but I'll leave that to your imagination. Here are the songs and the order I chose:
1.Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody
2. Dance Hall Crasher's Queen for a Day
3. No Doubt's Artificial Sweetener
4. Q and not U's Soft Pyramids
5. Napoleon XVII's They're Coming to Take Me Away
6. System of a Down's Spiders
7. Mindless Self Indulgence's Bed of Roses
8. Neutral Milk Hotel's Holland 1945
9. Missy Elliot's Work It
10. Nine Inch Nails' Closer
11. Sublime's Paddle Out/ Wrong Way from Vans Warped Tour Mix
12. Weezer's Pink Triangle
13. Poe's A Rose is A Rose
14. Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Are Made for Walking
15. The Flying Lizards' What I Want
16. Radiohead's Creep
17. Clint Mansell and the Cronos Quartet's Summer Overture
I am thinking about continuing this list. What would I add now that it's been almost 10 years? I see a summer project.
