slodwick) are doing it.

02.Ocean seafloor, I've been waiting for you. Shine by Ben Lee. Guessed by snarkist
03.How many cabs in New York City? How many angels on the head of a pin? Careless by Paul Kelly. Guessed by starrylizard
04.When I grow up I want a pony. Pony by Kasey Chambers. Guessed by etben

06.You got a great car. Yeah, what's wrong with it today? Bohemian Like You by The Dandy Warhols. Guessed by blue_raven.
07.Do you mean this haunted creep who's set upon weary feet and looks in need of sleep that doesn't come? Barrel of a Gun by Depeche Mode. Guessed by desdema.
08. She comes alone every evening, lights as many candles as she can afford. 500 empty seats along the aisle. No one got this one, but it was Evening Mass by the Williard Grant Conspiracy. Nice song, and vaguely... well, if you crossed Tom Waits with Lowen & Navarro, you'd get this sound.
09.Hey, you see a painted sign by the side of the road... Love Shack by the B52s. Guessed by desdema.
10.It's such a simple thing. I never feel this way. I have nightmares, I have dreams of you gone. Ten Million Years by Black Lab. Finally guessed by everysecondtues.

12.Staring out, depressed about what words I have to plead. Dear Goodbye by JC Chasez. Guessed by suzy_queue
13.One day they'll pay to know your name. You should be dancing in the rain. My Friend by Alex Lloyd. Guessed by resonant8

17.Girl, to be with you is my favourite thing. Boogie Shoes by the Bee Gees. Guessed by suzy_queue
18.You hold me in midair and you keep me a measure from impact. You stop and ask me if the ringing in your ears might be the sound of thought. Stunt Show by Something For Kate. guessed by innle.
19.She gave you everything she had, but she was young and dumb. Cherry Lips by Garbage. Guessed by sanitylapse.
20.All around the world statues crumble for me. Fly by Sugar Ray. Guessed by suzy_queue (Which is a song that never fails to make me think of John Shepperd. Never fails.)

I can't believe I knew that many. LOL And somehow I either forgot or didn't know you were a JC fan. *g*

I briefly flirted with popslash, before I fell head over heels for SN. JC was (and still is) the most attractive member of NSync, and... well, he's hot. And I refer to his CD as The Porn CD for good reason. (Seriously, 75% of the songs are all about sex, dancing or sex *and* dancing. It's fun music.)

Date: 2006-01-12 06:23 am (UTC)I more than flirted with popslash, I married it and had babies with it and we happily lived in a house with a white picket fence for many years. And then that hussy Gilmore Girls came in, with SGA on her heels, and now popslash and I are merely friends with benefits. *g*
Which isn't to say I'm not utterly delighted that JC's next album should be out this spring.

We both know it's not a permanent goodbye.

Date: 2006-01-12 07:07 am (UTC)It's a Dana song for me, oddly enough, because of the whole "when I grow up, I'll be a lady" verse, which captures her odd combination of immaturity and striving to be taken seriously.

Date: 2006-01-12 10:04 am (UTC)Anyway - 05. is, I think, 'Plastic Loveless Letter', no idea who it's by; and I think 14. is 'I hate work', again I'm not sure who it's by, but I love the song.
Is 19. 'Scar' by Missy Higgens? I am basing this on hearing it, like, twice, because somehow I have managed to avoid it otherwise, do not ask me how.

Date: 2006-01-12 09:34 pm (UTC)Because I'm lazy -- and I like you -- I'll give you points for those, even without the singers. Although really I only know them from Triple J Hottest 100 mixes, so it's not like I'd be able to quote most of the singers from there.
Plastic Loveless Letter by Magic Dirt and "I hate Work" (which, oh, I love listening to, especially after I finished ex-job) by Butterfingers.
