And I need something mindless to do. So here goes...
Step 1: Put your music player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line (or so, some are hard) from the first 21 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone guess what SONG AND ARTIST the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly (No lyric hunting! That is cheating!).
Step 5: After doing the 1st 21, listen to one more random song and post it as your title.
1. I was following the pack
2. Why do let me stay here? (She & Him, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" Thanks Hello Mimi!)

4. Grey skies and light fading
5. I'm walking on the southern street
6. The times we had (Beirut, "Postcards From Italy" Thanks charm and strange!)

8. I keep my head uptight
9. King and sons of God

13. I am my mother's only one

15. Five day forecast bring black tar rains and hellfire
16. Let's have bizarre celebrations (Of Montreal, "Wraith Pinned to the Mist & Other Games" Thanks Hello Mimi!)

#2 She & Him, Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
#16 Of Montreal, Wraith Pinned to the Mist & Other Games
#21 Pretenders, Brass in Pocket
Ack, Mimi got the only two I recognized!
Is it really bad that I couldn't remember the title of the Of Montreal song, and kept thinking, "It's the Outback Steakhouse song?"
As long as you know the actual words and not the lyrics to the Outback commercial I think it's okay.
Ok then. Whew!
10 The Kills - URA Fever!
11 MGMT - Kids!
14 Kings of Leon - Knocked Up!
18 The National - Mistaken For Strangers!
I know 21, but only by guessing it from the lyrics, so maybe I shouldn't say :)
{oh, Mimi already guessed 21, never mind!}
Good job you guys!
Dale, I'd go so far to say that as long as you actually know about the Of Montreal song, you're okay. I've met far too many people who go "why are you listening to the Outback song?" whenever they hear "Wraith" in my car.
3. "Unless It's Kicks", Okkervil River
6. "Postcards From Italy", Beirut
17. "Boy With A Coin", Iron & Wine
Way to go charm! And yay! An Okkervil fan!
I guess you'd appreciate these shoes that I made recently:
Oh wow. I should make more things.
You should. Making things is fun!
Speaking of which, when this game is over, I really should post all the music-related items I've made in the past few months.
okay so i don't recognize any of the 'leftover' songs, but i had to say:
WHOA. you MADE those shoes? those are rad! good work.
Pamela, you really should make that post!
PS I can't believe I didn't recognize that Beirut song....
Anna is a juggernaut at this game, holy cow!
Apparently, I have the useless skill of memorizing lyrics easily and subconsciously. I could have been born with the ability to read people's minds, or some other useful skill, but nope, memorizing lyrics it is....
Well I didn't make the shoes. I merely painted them :)
Someone guess a couple more then I'll post my latest creations (which also include the Chris Martin-circa-Viva-La-Vida jacket and a J-lew painting!)
Anna, memorizing lyrics is convenient. You never have to worry about singing wrong lyrics ever again! I embarrass myself quite frequently because of my inability to do this. Present me with a typed-up sheet of the lyrics and my photographic memory will pick it right up, but hearing a song for the 120448573th time won't help.
19. my slumbering heart. rilo kiley, im a dumbass, i should have gotten it earlier.
Finally...just kidding. It's okay. You probably had a brain fart. And better late than never!
