[Music] Your Soundtrack II!

[Nanor]

Some of you may recall my Your Soundtrack! post a year and a half ago. It seemed quite a few of you enjoyed it, so I thought I'd go for it again.

The rules are quite simple - Get the nearest media player with a healthy number of songs on it and stick it on shuffle. Press play and whichever song is playing is the one which accompanies that header. Rinse and repeat. Only disregard it if it doesn't quite fit into the heading.

So enjoy!
