So imagine you are flicking through the radio stations of someone’s subconscious: what would you hear?

Find out here (via Anarchogeek) – the iTunes Signature Maker takes your most played iTunes tracks and mashes them into your personal soundtrack, sampled.

Mine lives here (for now, until I can make it smaller and host it here). Not even I recognise all the songs in there. But I should be able to. One of them does belong to Becky, though – it would seem that her Shuffle is also feeding into my list of most played tunes.

i take it – borrow water – ??? – as i – ??? – [Becky’s track] – Rain – ??? – those robots eat me

So, in all there are 20 tracks; three seconds each. I think I know most of them. I’ve added the last one in – it’s too easy. Any takers?

later: I’ve added a few that I recognise… they may not be at exactly the right spot though…

  3. Species II – Minuit
  4. Blinded By The The Lights – the Streets
  9. Star Guitar – the Chemical Brothers
  13. Will Never Marry – Morrissey
  14. Waiting For The Siren’s Call – New Order
  20. Yoshimi Battles the Giant Robots – the Flaming Lips

    It’s like one of those radio competitions.

    Except without the prize, and the dubious honour of talking to dumbass radio jocks.

    and as far as I can tell, no Tina Turner.

    You’ve definitely narrowed it down a bit there, Martha.

    Did I hear Tim Finn? It didn’t seem likely, but there he was chortling away.

    I have to stop commenting on your blog. I saw the stats, and I’m PROLIFIC. It worries me. One minute prolific, the next a cyber stalker.

    There’s some Crowded House in there – I’m not sure which track though. That’s Becky’s area of expertise…

    And you would appear to be my No.1 stalker, on 131 comments at the moment.

    (Very quietly so as not to count)

    I’m a little bit embarrassed.

    Wow, I really can’t see the point in that at all. :-)

    I think I must be missing something.

    Ben.

    Don’t worry Ben: it is actually a completely pointless little web app. But quite fun though.

    Thanks for the fun idea. My sig definitely has too many banjos in it. Hope you don’t mind me linking to your post.

    Not at all, Katja.

    And I’m not hearing too many banjos in yours…
