I recently saw this meme on a friend’s Facebook, and though it’s not a new concept, I’ve never done this.

Procedure: go to iTunes. Set to shuffle. Post the first 15 songs that come up in order. NO CHEATING.

HERE is what I came up with — with links to a video or MP3 for each. It’s like 15 of my Sweet Tunes Thursdays in one post. Enjoy!

1. Home (She & Him)
2. Speechless (Lady Gaga)
3. Broken Face (The Pixies)
4. Live to Tell (Madonna)
5. B-Movie Scream Queen (Murderdolls)
6. The Sinister Minister (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones)
7. Off the Wall (THE KING OF POP — Michael Jackson — you should probably watch this video because it’s a live performance and he was amazing.)
8. Wendy Clear (blink-182)
9. Third Eye (Tool)
10. Planet of the Apes (Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13 — no video/mp3 but the lyrics are HILARIOUS)
11. Dread and the Fugitive Mind (Megadeth)
12. Jeremy (Pearl Jam)
13. Erection (The Faint)
14. Line by Line (Ms. John Soda)
15. God Send Death (Slayer)

Hmmm … a little less hard than I expected. Maybe this shows an apparent shift in my music taste that’s happened in the last year or two?

It’s another weiner-free weeeeeeeeeekend.  I shouldn’t be this excited, but my lil dog is kind of like having a misbehaving 3-year-old.  If you’re reading this, that means I’m in Minnesota and Barnabus is at Steph‘s place for the weekend.

Why, do you ask? Because I’m going to see SLAYER. MEGADETH. AND TESTAMENT.

Yes. Almost the big 4, but not quite.  Good enough for me — good riddance to Metallica anyway.  Dave Mustaine is where it’s at, as you can tell by my fabulous kitchen decor.

(a super old pic … but seriously. this guy is badass).

Anyway, I so can’t wait to see Megadeth and Slayer again … and I’m excited about Testament. I’m kind of disappointed that we’ve got nose-bleeds because last time I saw Megadeth I was close enough to touch Dave. On the railing. Man, you MN peeps are wimps. I got more beat up at the Jimmy Eat World show in Iowa than I did at Gigantour that year!

Wow. I’m rambling. Sorry — I get excited about these things then go into douchey metal dude speak.

Anyway, I’m going to have a great time and maybe get some decent photos. Regardless, I’m so going to H&M when I’m in Minnesota … seriously.

Gotta love how I’m going to a thrash show and all I can think about is shopping …

I’m going to leave you with one of my favorite Megadeth songs.  I say one of them because they’re all pretty much amazing. Enjoy!

Not to mention — this one is a gem from ’91 — Dave Ellefson on bass … drool (not because I think he’s hot, but because he’s amazing!) … it’s almost a shame I don’t have the same hair as these guys anymore.

I so don’t have time to blog about this in its entirety, but for now — I’ve got to post pix at least!  SOOOOO cool.  I’ll share more about what this is about later, but I swapped crafts with my way cool crafty co-worker (who loves metal/punk/cool stuff) and here’s my bounty! I’ll separate it out later, but here’s a gallery in the interest of the short amount of time I have on my lunch.

I’m missing TWO things which I need to photog and post yet.. I will explain all of this later!

I’m SO excited!  I’m taking part in my first organized craft swap on craftster.org.

AND, it’s a metal swap!  Yay!  There are so many craftsters who are into metal — who knew?  AND good metal, not hair metal or nümetal!  I just got my partner yesterday and we are SO perfectly matched!  She’s into Iron Maiden, Slayer, Children of Bodom, EARLY Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, In Flames and Amon Amarth.  PERFECT.  The only 2 things we’re not matched on is her Maiden and my Dethklok, but otherwise, we’re a great pair.

The other thing is that neither one of us is a typical metal girl. You wouldn’t think I listened to heavy stuff by looking at me and by the way I dress and she’s like that too.  Just a girlie girl who happens to listen to cheesy music is how she put it.  So we’re thinking of doing very non-metal things and adding a metal twist to them — embroidered tea towels, reconned t-shirts with lots of ruffles and lace, no red and black combos… just super girlie stuff.  

I’m soooo excited for this!  I’m listening to Maiden right now to get pumped for it.
