So, will you look back at this in a week or so and think, "Now why did I choose that?" or will this stand the test of time? At least for awhile...

Some yes, some know. The opening and closing are fairly solid. I've always wanted to make a movie out of John Brunner's The Shockwave Rider, and "I'm Lucky" is the song I've always pictured for that. Must as well steal it for myself. "Misirlou" is my tip of the hat to Pulp Fiction.

"Dans På Vindbryggan" by Benny Andersson is what we actually used at our wedding for a processional (albeit done on hammer dulcimer). "Reconsider Me" really was our reconciliation song and is the official Our Song -- enough so that I bought Ulrika http://www.reconsiderme.com for her brithday this year.

I would say Lesson Learning, Sex Scene, and Average Day are most up in the air.

Other categories are somewhere in-between.

Part of it is, I really like movies, and I really like many film scores and soundtracks. You'll notice that many of my choices are from soundtracks. That's because I wouldn't mind doing a movie or two myself, and I can think of what would go where.
