i did not realize what a time consuming project this would be

[schmerica]

My turn at that really hard meme that's going around. WOOT.

1) Put your music player on random
2) For the first 20 tracks, find a picture of the artist via Google Images
3) Get your friends to guess the artist.

I realize it's easy to cheat at this by looking at the file names, but try to resist the urge, okay?

4 is Mandy Moore

17 is a *rocking* pic of Dolly Parton.


Lord knows I know who 9 is but her name? totally slipped my mind.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Both right! I went back and forth on what picture to go with for Dolly Parton, but I like her really pretty ones even more than her drag queen or scary 80s ones

[speshope.livejournal.com]

Is 9 Joan Baez?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[speshope.livejournal.com]

VICTORY

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

Is #7 Jenny Lewis? I am so bad at this.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It totally is!

[thete1.livejournal.com]

12. Joni Mitchell

14. REM

17. Dolly Parton

20. They Might Be Giants...?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

All correct!

[sweetestdrain]

Ooh, I suck at this! But I am procrastinating on sleep, so let's see.

4. Mandy Moore
6. The Ditty Bops (ADORE them)
12. I really should know who this is. I am guessing her name has the letter J in it. Or C. Or maybe neither.
14. REM?
15. Sleater-Kinney
17. Dolly Parton
18. Joanna Newsom?
19. Jeff Buckley?

And a few more which looked familiar but I couldn't quite place. Off to satisfy my curiosity with the filenames now.

Hee, those are all right! I actually didn't know so much what jeff buckley looked like -- he's kinda James Franco-esque.

I am glad somebody got Waylon!

[brownbetty]

I have no idea who any of these are, but do you know what instrument that chick in no. 12 is playing?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I believe it is a dulcimer, but I won't swear to it.

[brownbetty]

Oh good. After I posted I thought, what if it's a guitar at a really weird angle? Then I'll look like a moron.

Close, but no cigar! All the rest were right, though.

[onelittlesleep.livejournal.com]

[jeez-louise.livejournal.com]

Hi, you don't know me, but I love these games. You have great taste in music. Anyway, here are two no one has guessed yet:

5. Magnetic Fields
13. Quasi

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Wooot!

[epj.livejournal.com]

Someone has guessed all the ones I know, so I'll just mention that I thought Liz Phair was Debbie Harry. :) I love this meme.

[aukestrel.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I got one... 14 is REM. (Yay!)
