MONSTER MASH-UP: THE SEQUEL (iPod shuffle challenge!)
This worked out awesomely last year, so let's do it again! You remember the deal: you're scoring the trailers for several upcoming horror movies, so put your iPod or MP3 player of choice on shuffle and post the first song you hit for each trailer. That song is the centerpiece of the trailer, and you should write a few lines about how it'd fit the trailer or where it kicks in. Does it make it a comedy? Does it make it a teen movie? A freaky foreign flick? Follow the link to last year's challenge for bitchin' examples.
Here're the new trailer concepts:
Reminder: You might want to skip the orchestral stuff to avoid being too on the nose and go with mainly pop music.
Here're the new trailer concepts:
1) Haunted House
2) Mad Scientist
3) The Devil!
4) Creepy Aliens
5) SEQUEL! (Choose one of your movies from last year and score its sequel trailer. Pick the movie first, then hit shuffle - no cheats! If you didn't participate last year, your trailer topic is...MUMMY!)

MONSTER MASH-UP - Alright, here’s the deal: you're scoring the trailers for several upcoming horror movies, so put your iPod or MP3 player of choice on shuffle and post the first song you hit for each trailer. That song is the centerpiece of the trailer, and these are the featured monsters:1) Vampire
2) Werewolf
3) Zombie
4) Slasher
5) Creature from the Black Lagoon (I say it's time for a comeback)
You might want to skip the orchestral stuff to avoid being too on the nose, but the important thing is to then offer up a few lines for each movie explaining how the music fits the trailer. Is it a creepy fit? Does it turn the movie comedic? My test-run will be in the comments.
New Pop Culture Meme
From NPR's Monkey See Monkey Do Blog:
1. What has been your biggest pleasant surprise of the last three months? (This takes you, so you don't have to do math, back to late May.)
2. What has been the rudest surprise of the last three months?
3. What are you most looking forward to between now and New Year's?
4. What are you dreading most between now and New Year's?
5. If, at this moment, you could only watch television between now and December 31, or you could only see movies between now and December 31, which would you choose if you knew you couldn't go back later and catch up on what you missed?
6. If you could press one book you have read this year into the hands of ten strangers when they were trapped during a blackout with nothing to do but read, what would you give them?
7. What are you currently trying to like and finding it difficult to like?
8. If you could guarantee that five people -- actors, writers, directors, whoever -- would have their calendars filled with funded projects for the next five years, to whom would you grant full employment?
9. What do you love in spite of being outside the target demographic? (Example: "I am a nineteen-year-old dude and I loved The Proposal.")
10. If you could personally wave your wand and stop one trend -- toy movies, remakes, crime procedurals -- what would be your target?

a "new, rocking, and very cool country (singer)... redefines the blue side of country in a collection of songs about love, hurt, hope and happiness in a style that is most definitely all her own."
A Sherlock Holmes-quoting Statistics professor who likes to hang out with creepy plastic Tom Hankses.
And of course, of sultry black woman (?) who likes to sing karaoke with a man named Smooth.

Who Are You?
From Alex Robinson's blog, a new meme: Google Image search your name and post the first three images that aren't you. (Or, if you're a comic reviewer like a lot of us, the first three images that aren't related to your own stuff on the web - I didn't want to post three comic book covers or sketches.)
There is apparently a version of me who works for Boeing in Japan.
Another version of me sends this disturbing picture of dog in costume from Fort Myers, Florida.
And I honestly have no idea what this is. It's Randy Landers, with an "s", so it's sort of cheating, but I got tired of looking through pages.

Q: What does next year have in store for you?
"Malagueña" by Brian Setzer - Literal translation of Malagueña: "a Spanish woman from Málaga in Spain." And we're off to a good start! Unless she's a hideous old crone of a peasant, in which case I will cast her out.
Q: What does your love life look like next year?
"Wunderkind" by Alanis Morissette (from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe soundtrack) - Let's see, a wunderkind is a child prodigee. Oh, dude...that's fucked up.

"Mambo, Pt. 2" by Machito - It's time...
To...
DANCE!!
Q: What song will you dance to at your wedding?
"Rocket 88" by His Delta Cats & Jackie Brenston - This is a kick-ass, boogie-woogie blues number. This wedding's gonna swing, cats.
Q: Song that reminds you of your first kiss?
"The Vikings (Dancing on the Oars)" from the movie The Vikings - Shut up, I was drunk.
Q: Your favourite saying?
"You're Not Here" by Melissa Williamson (Silent Hill 3 Soundtrack) - The problem, of course, is that no one's ever around to hear my favorite saying.
Q: Favourite place?
"Main Viewing Screen" from a collection of classic Star Trek sound effects - Yeah, I am kind of a Trek dork. Of course I like hangin' out on the bridge.
Q: Most Missed Memory?
"Not Long for this World" by Kelly Willis - I sure do miss the days when I was terminally ill!
Q: What song describes your best friend?
"Escape" by Bernard Herrmann (soundtrack to the original Day the Earth Stood Still) - What can I say, the dude loves Journey's seventh album, and seeing as how it gave us "Don't Stop Believing", "Who's Crying Now" and "Open Arms", who can blame him?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_(Journey_album)
Q: What song describes your ex?
"Evil Ways" by Cal Tjader & Carmen McRae - Kinda self-explanatory, right?
Q: Where would you go on a first date?
"Na Herese Ke Naglentas" by Daniel Fox - It's an album of violin music from the Middle East. I don't know why the ladies are avoiding me. It'd be just the two of us, a bottle of wine, and the sounds of gunfire and car bombs as the sun sets over Baghdad.

After a bit of self-reflection, I realize it's true.
Q: What is the thing you like doing most?
"If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day" by the Asylum Street Spankers - Judging people in the End Times, that's what Dave loves! Unfortunately my favorite thing can really only happen once. I might need a new hobby.

"Grand Master Mika" from the Final Fantasy X soundtrack - It's a cooler-sounding title than President, that's for sure.
Q: Where will you be in 10 years?
"Claudette" by Roy Orbison - Hey, this Claudette babe sounds pretty okay! But wait, do parents even name girls Claudette any more? Maybe this is a Monkey's Paw kind of thing, and Claudette is gonna be the name of the human internment camp when Skynet takes over! OMG that not make no sense, but still is very scary!!
Q: Your love life right now?
"Is This Love" by Bob Marley - Yeah, I've never been Mr. Confidence.
Q: What is your state of mind like at the moment?
"Start the Fire" by No Doubt - Oh, did I mention my pyromania?

Longest Song: "Battle Sequence I" by John Williams on the X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter soundtrack (27:22)
Sort by album:

Death - 19 (Cindy 1 death per 132 songs, Randy 1/139, Dave 1/165, D3 1/199) Cindy is the deadliest and I'm the least dead?
Life - 39
Love - 195 (D3 1 love per 19 songs, Cindy 1/22, Dave 1/25, Randy 1/25) I'm the most loving, and Rany & Dave tie for least loving
Hate - 48 (D3 1 hate per 79 songs, Cindy 1/132, Randy 1/197, Dave 1/241) I'm the most hateful, and Dave is pretty mellow

How many songs total: 9900
How many hours or days of music: 25.2 days (weird; more songs than Randy, but running notably fewer days; Randy, do you have the full "Ring of the Nibelung" or some shit on there?)
Most recently played: "Want Ad Blues" / John Lee Hooker
Most played: "Velvet Guitar" / Alejandro Escovedo (unexpected, but I really do love this song)
Most recently added: "Don't Stay Away" / Phillis Dillon (downloaded just this afternoon after I heard it on KUT; falls into the rock steady genre, a precursor to reggae)
Sort by song title:
First Song: "A.M. Radio" / Everclear
Last Song: "99.9F°" / Suzanne Vega (we're twins, Randy!)
Sort by time:
Shortest Song: I've got assloads of short video game riffs and weird things (the shortest is the Transformers transforming sound at (:02), but the shortest thing that could fairly be called a song is "The Dick Van Dyke Show Theme Song" (no shit) at (:17)
Longest Song: "Logical Regression" by DJ Scam clocks in at (44:19) This is something I got in a music exchange with some dudes at Bendis's board. It's a megamix of 60s music interspersed with the audio of commercials, political speeches and other flavor sounds of the era. It's kinda cool.
Sort by album:
First album: "A2G EP" by Blackalicious (partially downloaded album; first full album is "Abbey Road")
Last album: "80s Hits Stripped" by Various (accoustic 80s pop by the original artists; I only downloaded a few songs from the album, but I kinda dig it). Since that's partial album, the last full album I've got is "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" by Bernard Herrmann (awesome)
First song that comes up on Shuffle: "Wish I Could (Hideaway)" / Creedence Clearwater Revival (not a particular favorite)
