Today we're looking for messages from the universe. Here's how we're doing it. I put my Ipod on random and let it play. Here are the first twenty songs it's brought up:

Sentimental Guy - Ben Folds
Walk on Me - Ben Kwellar
That Was Your Mother - Paul Simon
Rockin' The Suburbs (live) - Ben Folds
What More Can I say - Jay Z , The Beatles, and DJ Danger Mouse
Raining In Baltimore - Counting Crows
Bridges, Squares - Ted Leo
For All The Cows - Foo Fighters
Walking Man - James Taylor
Pure Cob Road - Sixteen Horsepower
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
Midnight Rider - Willie Nelson
Make The Dirt Stick - Chris Whitley
Burning Photographs - Ryan Adams.
June (live) - Pete Yorn
Settle Down - Zwan
Street Fighting Man - Rolling Stones
Support Your Local Emperor - Blues Traveler
Love Don't Work This Way - Hothouse Flowers
Purple Toupee - They Might Be Giants

Okay, so decipher that. Even if you don't know all the songs or bands. Look at the song titles. What is the Universe trying to tell me about today. Think about it. The life you save could be mine.

-Update-
Add Airline to Heaven by Billy Bragg and Wilco to the list. It wasn't in the first twenty, but when it came up a few songs later it really caught my ear and seemed signifigant. If you don't own this song, download it.


You guys are doing great with this. Seriously. Thanks for helping...

I've started deciphering it myself. There's a lot about roads, streets, and walking. I think the universe is telling me it's time to do some traveling.

There's also bits about the suburbs and settling down. I think the universe is telling me not to settle down.

But the bits about sentimentality and mothers are telling me not to forget where I came from.

See how easy this is?  


I think it's the universe telling you you have too much time on your hands.  


or maybe you are supposed to move to VA with BP.  


Try rearranging the words in the names of the songs to find a deeper meaning. For instance if you take some of the words from the first five you might get:

Mother, Can I live more? Danger- a Sentimental guy that was rockin, now folds. What says the mouse On your walk through the suburbs?

Now, that my friend, is deep...  


The universe just told me you suck, Ian.  


The universe can go f itself.  


I hate to see you and the universe fighting like this...  


I'll f the universe. I am lonely and horny.  


I think it may be saying you have walked down several roads with a few bumps in them and yet you still had good times on each road, getting a little dirty and helping others get a little dirty, but in a good fun way. The bad memories are often remembered, but the good memories is what keeps the paths coming and you walking.  


Tear.
