So it’s come to this: The famous brand audio player shuffle meme
In the unlikely event that you have not previously come across this, the idea is that one sets their audio player to shuffle mode, then uses the selected track titles as answers to a predetermined set of questions. Presumably the answers are supposed to have some sort of cosmic significance. We shall see. At least it will allow me the chance to demonstrate my impeccable taste in music.
There are several variations on the question set, so I just chose one at random. Oh, and of course, cheating is strictly prohibited – no matter how embarrassing the selections are. Okay, here we go:
1. How are you feeling today?
Lola – Madness
