There'll even be a band.

[constance]

I don't even remember where I got this one. I think everyone's done it, at one point or another.


1. Put your playlist on shuffle.
2. Post the first line of the first twenty songs that come up.
3. Have people guess what you're listening to!



01. You and I have been through this before

02. When you walk through the garden
     "Down in the Hole" - Tom Waits

03. Did you never call?
     "So. Central Rain" - R.E.M.

04. If you want to find yourself by traveling out west

05. Every day is dreamlike

06. Say a word for Jimmy Brown

07. The warden said he'd mail my letter

08. Come into the union district

09. The smell of man that now scents your wings

10. Legs of a calf, head of a man

11. She dropped my hand and said, "I will go no further"

12. Oh, the time will come up when the winds will stop

13. If the folks next door to me weren't so good

14. It's not the way you look that touched my heart
     "Baby, It's You" - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

15. I can almost remember the first time that you called my name

Hello! It's lovely to see you posting every day, and I wish I had more time to comment more. :( (But I can never resist this meme.)

Hello, hello! It's good to see you too. I've been missing you.

You're right about the songs, of course -- I'll mark 'em off!

3 is "So. Central Rain" by REM.

14 is "Baby, It's You." I can't even guess whose version you have!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Yep! :)

Heh. I have two or three versions of "Baby, It's You," but this one's by Elvis Costello.

No. 4 makes me think of "If You Wanna Die In Bed" from Miss Saigon, but that's probably not it, is it?

[tofty.livejournal.com]

No, it's not, but I'm kind of curious to hear "If You Wanna Die in Bed" now!

Hi there! I was thinking of you the other day, realizing I missed your birthday during my latest hiatus. I hope it was a really good one, though.

2. Tom Waits - Down in the Hole

[tofty.livejournal.com]

That's the one!

I can't believe how bad I am at this, but at least I know that #18 is "Hate My Way" by Throwing Muses. I am glad I am good for something.

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Of course! I was pretty sure you'd get that one. And I almost edited my post to replace #20 with #21 when it started playing, because Guided By Voices always reminds me immediately of you.

Also, I pretty much suck at this game; I'm really bad at recognizing lyrics out of context, even with songs I've heard a thousand times and can sing without hesitation.

In fact, I have already forgotten one of the songs on this list. I hope no one wants to know what it is.

Just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all.

20 - My boyfriend Andrew Bird - Tables and Chairs!

There will be snacks, there will be snacks.

Yes indeed.
