25 lines music meme thingy
Cross-posted from lucian_albrecht's journal.
More sheep-like following, I'm afraid, - anyway, just to be slack, I'm going to quote lucian_albrecht :)...
"The rules are as follows: set your ipod/itunes/laptop/whatever to shuffle. Take the first 25 songs that are not instrumental, do not have their title in the first line, and are not by an artist that already appears.
Then list their first lines and get your mates to identify them (without using a search engine). They, presumably, will mock your musical tastes, or lack thereof, at this stage."
Actually, I've just realised that I've messed that up on two levels - I've repeated an artist and one of them has the title in the first line, so I've replaced one of the duplicates (#3) with what I'm listening to now. I've left the one with the title in there though.
