I was watching "RockNRolla" and "Layer Cake" this weekend (Great movies, by the way. I'm in a "British Crime" phase now and I'm overdosing on Guy Ritchie and Daniel Craig) and I started thinking about something.
What would the soundtrack to my life be?
It really resonated with me, because as I drove around this weekend I couldn't stop thinking about it. I started to become obsessed with the idea of putting together a "Soundtrack" to my life. You know, imagine your life were a movie, and the pivotal scenes of your life needed background music. What would the songs be?
I've already decided that mine is a box set. It's way too big and eclectic for one CD, so I'm starting to gel around the idea of a 4-CD box set. Something like a cross between "The Breakfast Club", "Platoon", and "Weird Science". I already see lots of 80s punk and new wave, a good selection of vintage "San Francisco Summer of Love", an obscure set list from the early 90s Grunge years living in Seattle, and a healthy dose of Hip Hop and Lollapalooza acts.
Should be a fun exercise.
So what about you? What would the soundtrack to your life look like?
Oh, and by the way, I'm going to need a copy of Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme...
