Day 11: Put your iPod on shuffle and write 10 songs that pop up.

Well this is going to be a terrible post. I mean my music library is worrying. Or rather it will be interesting. I mean I know shite is going to come up and I won't be able to explain it very well. Oh well lets jump on this train and hold on tight as I make excuses for this.

1. The Magic House - Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy VI: Well I was hoping this wasn't gonna be the first song but may as well get it out of the way. I have a lot of video game soundtracks. I am not going to be surprised if there is more down the line. This particular one is not that amazing. It doesn't even sound magical. Just like a rich kinda house theme. I dunno.
2. Dirge of the Fourteenth - Yoko Shimomura - Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: Yup! There we are, yet another video game song. The story behind this however is it is a final boss theme. Spoilers but it is against your best friend and is quite sad. The plot is weird but the whole game is a bit of a downer.
3. Run! - Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy V: This is taking the piss now. Sure I have about maybe 600 songs from video games but about 3000 more ordinary ones. This shouldn't have come up. If your interested what the song is a panicky "run away!" kind of affair. Nothing great. Not to listen to really but because guys are weird and collect things such as soundtracks.
   
4. Water - Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Fuck off. Well technically this is from a film but still fuck off. This is a calming theme based on Aeris theme. Aeris Theme is one of the most famous video game songs in the world. Probably second to the Mario theme. Or third to the Zelda theme. Never fourth.
   
5. It's Begininning To Get To Me - Snow Patrol - Eyes Open: An obvious spelling mistake in my itunes there but what the hey. It's good I guess. It's mainstream but I like Snow Patrol to an extent. Don't ever go out of my way to listen to them but just one of those songs that I picked up from the recesses of my families collective MP3s.
6. Sound Check (Gravity) - Gorillaz - Gorillaz: This isn't one of Gorillaz best songs. I prefer the second album really. This is just kinda fuzzy and I don't know it. I had to listen to it to know what to say here. Yeah don't listen to this one.
7. Attack of the Weapon - Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy VII: Yay, back to this. I quite like this song. Would say it the one I know best so far on the list sadly enough. What can I say? Nobuo Uematsu is a genius. The context of this song is a giant godzilla-esque monster is attacking a city/harbour town/village. It makes you suddenly realise shit is going down. It really stands out the first time you hear it.
8. Invincible - Muse - Black Holes and Revelations: I like this song. It is a bit of an interlude for the album. It is one of the few albums who I can listen to right the way through. I like this album better than their newest album anyway. I certainly listened to it a lot on the school bus.
9. Ok this one doesn't even have an english title. As in it doesn't use the english alphabet. It is just some menu music though. From Dissidia if you care.
   
10. Ritual - Ash - Twilight of the Innocents: I love Ash. I mean they are not amazing but I remember them from my childhood when my dad had house parties and it was amazing. This album however came out more recently. I still quite like it though. I listened to this a lot driving about Spain.
    

You may have noticed I don't feel strongly one way or another about music. That or I have too many soundtracks. Well I am more a gamer than anything else. It is great to play games, better when they have an actual plot and best when there is a great soundtrack behind it. But I do like my music. Just I extensively categorise them into playlists so I don't get all that crap there. Yeah I have one for just me with crap, one with it all omitted and one that is a mix.

You know don't bother. I am just gonna say don't ask my advice on music. I don't have bad taste but you will never believe me after reading this. Also I am going to download another soundtrack now. Seriously. Right now.
