fun with recycling

i was going through some files and saw a ipod meme that i did back in february 2009. since i suck at life and haven't come up with any original content lately, i figured i'd revisit said meme for shits and giggles. if i remember the setup correctly, you're supposed to start your ipod or itunes in shuffle mode and answer the questions based on what songs come up. here's the one i just finished, with my notes in italics:
