Great turnout this time too!
Do I get a booby prize? :)
for you!
Only a perfect score because I was so generous with all three people who swapped the title and artist on #11. Everybody who guessed anything on it got them swapped.
Woohooo! I’d like to thank my Wife and my record collection.
I’ll admit to using YouTube for Rufus Thomas (at least his name, the song was familiar) and the Be Your Own Pet thing (though I had heard the Wildcat! song before, not sure where, but hadn’t a clue who it was). The rest of that list I own and either identified the song outright or knew the band and went through my collection to find the song.
I was surprised when you got Limbomaniacs which I thought would be a stumper and didn’t get Iggy, which I thought was a gimme.
For some reason I thought the Iggy song was Husker Du at first and I got stuck in that thinking. The Limbomaniacs album I have because I was obsessed with Laswell for a while and was even checking out stuff he produced and they were one of them. That is a kick ass record!
I’m going to start working on one of these quizzes, which I am sure I will host here if cleek will have me.
yes, of course. let me know when you’re ready, i’ll give you a login and set up the comment hiding thingy for you, etc..
bummed i didn’t get that The The song… not that i know it, but because i never bothered to get any The The records beside Mind Bomb (which i love).
also, MikeJ : i thought i got that YLT song… ?
You got it? Sorry about that. Feel free to update the score grid. Even after going through the thread twice I missed one.
no prob. i think i’ve missed one or two answers every time i’ve done this. :)
I have played this game for years with a friend of mine, we’re both DJs for college radio. Just like in scrabble, I usually whomp him. This was a lot of fun. I wandered in from BJ, buy the way.
Plato, if you’re considering doing a contest, don’t kill yourself to get it done over this weekend. Next week is Thanksgiving in the US. When I didn’t live here I never knew when the holidays were. Wound up calling my mother on English Mother’s Day and completely confusing her.
Anyway, I suspect that participation would be affected, what with everyone going over the river and through the woods.
Yeah, it’ll be a week or two. I’m just now gathering up some songs (I swear it won’t be totally obscure stuff, like Zoviet France or Nurse With Wound, or like Norwegian bands that only a handful of Norwegians have heard of, but stuff most musicphiles should get).
I almost forgot about Thanksgiving! Here we call it Torsdag. Reminds me though that I need to go buy a turkey for my annual Thanksgiving in Norway but not actually on Thanksgiving turkey roast. Surprised our friends haven’t bugged me about it yet as they love it.
We eat turkey at Christmas. What do USians eat on Christmas Day then?
i don’t think there’s an official xmas meal.
In my family it was usually turkey again. But one year we ordered pizza, which would never, ever happen on Thanksgiving.
In Norway for Christmas east-enders eat pork rib and us west coasters eat pinnekjøtt with copious amounts of beer and akevitt.
