News You Can Bruise for 2009 April 17 (entry 0)

(5) Fri Apr 17 2009 20:44 Song Opposites: While we were having dinner, "Don't Stand So Close to Me" came on the restaurant radio. Sumana and I decided that "Stacy's Mom" is the opposite of that song. Then we started thinking of what songs are the opposite of what other songs. But it turned out this wasn't a game I really enjoyed playing, though it sounded fun in the abstract. So I give this game to you, in hopes that you'll have more fun with it.

ok, this is different, but could you use something like last.fm to figure out which artist the fans of a certain different artist are least likely to enjoy?

On the movies front: It's A Wonderful Life is the photo negative of Donnie Darko (I never saw the director's cut, though).

John Cage's 4'33" is a meta-opposite for every song.
