The WMP shuffle
Ipod shuffle guessing game from brimful. I set my windows media player (for want of an ipod) on "shuffle" and wrote down the first line of the first twenty songs that played (barring repeated artists and first lines containing song titles). Your job: identify the song or the artist and enter it as a comment. As the guesses come in I'll cross the songs off. No googling ! Here's the list :
- Pebble by pebble, sand grain by sand grain, shore turns to sea, shore turns to ocean

14 Comments:
15 is that John Lennon song.... I can't remeber the name tho...
I can't get any of the others.. maybe after work when i'm less distracted.
8. R.E.M - "Circus Envy"? (Not sure about the title, pretty sure about the band)
3. Rage Against the Machine - "Bombtrack" (??)
These are hard! So, of course, I go old school:
#7 is Pearl Jam's Corduroy
#9 is Nirvana's About a Girl
Good job guys ! In my book guessing the band correctly is good enough. So you all got it right.
#15 John Lennon "Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)"
#8 R.E.M "Circus Envy" (Very impressive, maisnon)
#3 RATM "Know Your Enemy" (right album though)
#7 Pearl Jam's "Corduroy"
#9 Nirvana's "About a Girl"
#4 is "Airbag" by Radiohead, right?
#10 seems familiar, but I can't place it...
Exactly right on #4 ads. I personally have trouble telling those radiohead song titles apart.
The clue on #10 is that they're canadian.
10. Barenaked Ladies - Alternative Girlfriend
11. Cake - World Of Two
Great job Maitri. Correct on both.
I'm confident there are a couple more that can be identified. I'm hoping for #2 and possibly #13 and #19.
Lurkers please feel free to guess.
#2 The one I love by David Gray
Thanks for stopping by :)
You got it cookiemonsta. Thanks for letting me play.
"To start all over again
'Cause everytime that I do,
I remember you."
Oooo, I get to take #20: Steve Earle dueting with a woman whose name escapes me, "I Remember You."
That's right Amelie-Freak ! #19 is Steve Earle and Emmylou Harris "I Remember You" from SE's album "Jerusalem" with a few more good songs.
#17: Nick Drake - Northern Sky (he was amazing)
Exactly Manoj ! I should have expected you to recognize it.
