ultranos: kino standing, staring ahead (need caffeine; this is unacceptable)
In order to distract myself from the thermal-fluids engineering homework that's due tomorrow (I'm working on it, I swear!), here's another game of sorts.

Rules: 20 songs, from music player, on random. I'll post the first lines or so from them, you guess the song and artist, and I'll cross them off. The list will skip any and all instrumental pieces. (And, to be fair, probably any AKFG, Fuji Fabric, or the like because I don't speak Japanese. My music tastes are esoteric enough as it is.)

EDIT: Added in songs and artists not guessed. Er, I guess my player really likes throwing out the esoteric stuff.

Right on 6 and 14.

Well, 2 and 4 aren't nearly as obscure as some of the other ones.

#8 is "Yellow" by Coldplay
(I think)

It is.

Once upon a time, I used to listen to that song all the time. And when iTunes picked it, I was like "wait, what? This sounds familiar..."

18. Don't Fear the Reaper, by Blue Oyster Cult

19 feels like it's Counting Crows. Maybe it's Round Here.

oh, that was me
Date/Time: 2008-02-21 15:28 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] ultranos-fic.livejournal.com
Yep, 18 is Don't Fear the Reaper. (MORE COWBELL.)

19 is, in fact, Counting Crows, but not "Round Here".

12 is Aerials by SOAD. And that, sadly, is the only one I know. :P

Which one of us hooked the other one on SOAD? I forget the order, but I'm pretty sure it was either all my fault or all your fault.

Oh, I accept full blame. I bought Toxicity and told everyone around me TO BUY THIS DAMN ALBUM OMG!!!!11!!#^&^&#@. And then STA! came out and I officially had a favorite band.

pee ess: are you going to AB this year? And if so, perhaps we will manage to not completely miss each other?
Date/Time: 2008-02-21 18:04 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] ultranos-fic.livejournal.com
Yeah, I remember that. I remember spazzing when I got STA! for Christmas that year.

sekrit message: Um, possibly. I should, you know, register. XD Because, dude, two years and we missed each other both times? Crazy.
