Dan is a guy that I saw at orientation both in Tokyo and Yashiro &#8211; he was actually one of Antoine&#8217;s roommates at Yashiro.  His entries are a lot more exciting than mine, and certainly less verbose.  I think he lives in northern Hyogo, so our paths appear to cross here and there, but I haven&#8217;t seen him out there yet.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the idea is to fire up your music player and write down the first twenty random songs that come up &#8211; no skipping the embarrassing ones.  Here&#8217;s my list:<\/p>\n<p>1.  Creedence Clearwater Revival &#8211; Bad Moon Rising<br \/>\n<br \/>2.  Soil &#8211; Road To Ruin<br \/>\n<br \/>3.  Nirvana &#8211; Been A Son<br \/>\n<br \/>4.  The Cult &#8211; Spanish Gold<br \/>\n<br \/>5.  Massive Attack &#8211; Hymn Of The Big Wheel<br \/>\n<br \/>6.  The Beatles &#8211; While My Guitar Gently Weeps<br \/>\n<br \/>7.  John Coltrane &#8211; Giant Steps<br \/>\n<br \/>8.  John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers &#8211; I Don&#8217;t Mind<br \/>\n<br \/>9.  Corrosion Of Conformity &#8211; Deliverance<br \/>\n<br \/>10. Soul Coughing &#8211; 16 Horses<br \/>\n<br \/>11. Aerosmith &#8211; Back In The Saddle<br \/>\n<br \/>12. Grim Fandango Soundtrack &#8211; Scrimshaw<br \/>\n<br \/>13. Blue Man Group &#8211; Utne Wire Man<br \/>\n<br \/>14. Al Green &#8211; Let&#8217;s Get Married<br \/>\n<br \/>15. ESPN Jock Jam &#8211; Tootsie Roll<br \/>\n<br \/>16. Star Wars Soundtrack &#8211; The Last Battle<br \/>\n<br \/>17. Isaac Hayes &#8211; Run Fay Run<br \/>\n<br \/>18. Moby &#8211; Oil 1<br \/>\n<br \/>19. Deadlights &#8211; Sweet Oblivion<br \/>\n<br \/>20. Incubus &#8211; Idiot Box<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised at some that came up.  I have the whole Led Zeppelin catalog here, and nothing showed up.  I was a little embarrassed about ESPN Jock Jam &#8211; where did that come from?  Anyway, an interesting experiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw this on Dan&#8217;s site, and I thought I&#8217;d give it a go.
