Music quiz answers [May. 9th, 2008|09:24 am]
[Tags|, ]

Answers, with commentary, if inspired:

1) Rush - Subdivisions.  The song just speaks to me, despite living out the whole idea it mourns.

2) "Weird" Al Yankovic - eBay. A change from the past, but this song just still cracks me up.

3) Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps (guessed by [info]impeccablesimon   )

4) Guns 'N' Roses - Paradise City

5) Tom Petty - Free Fallin'

6) Van Halen - Jump. 1984 is a crucial album in my life, actually.  We moved away from my dad in November 1983, and this became my favorite tape shortly thereafter. (guessed by [info]aardy    )

7) Boston - Piece of Mind

8) Metallica - One ([info]impeccablesimon   )

9) Jimmy Buffett - A Pirate Looks at 40. Of course this song in no way applies to me. Go figure.

10) They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng. I'm almost like an "early adapter" to TMBG since I was aware of them pre-"Flood."  The opening riff gets me going.  I also love the line, "I don't want the world, I just want your half."

Regarding yesterday's tweet...I made up for going to bed early 2 nights ago by going to bed pretty late last night.

Here's an update on my guess the song game... [info]impeccablesimontook random guess and got 20%.  Surely you don't need to "know: me to get some right. :)  Heck, the friend I went to the last 3 Rush concerts can't even guess that one anyways.  (He guessed via e-mail..) I'll post answers tonight or tomorrow morning.

1) Rush
2) "Weird" Al Yankovic
3) Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps (guessed by [info]impeccablesimon  )
4) Guns 'N' Roses
5) Tom Petty 
6) Van Halen - Jump (guessed by [info]aardy   )
7) Boston
8) Metallica - One ([info]impeccablesimon  )
9) Jimmy Buffett
10) They Might Be Giants

Update/clue: I meant the (and the Heartbreakers) parenthetical on Tom Petty to mean it could be either way - for those who really pay attention to the division.  I'll now say the track is offically a "Tom Petty" track.

In no particular order (well, except for 1 & 2):
1) Rush
2) "Weird" Al Yankovic
3) Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps (guessed by [info]impeccablesimon )
4) Guns 'N' Roses
5) Tom Petty 
6) Van Halen - Jump (guessed by [info]aardy  )
7) Boston
8) Metallica - One ([info]impeccablesimon )
9) Jimmy Buffett
10) They Might Be Giants

Update/clue: I meant the (and the Heartbreakers) parenthetical to mean it could be either way - for those who really pay attention to the division.  I'll now say the track is offically a "Tom Petty" track.

This is, admittedly, a resurrection of a meme from 3 years ago. However, I did mine originally on another site, and I have more readers now. :D

Quick hits [Sep. 13th, 2007|01:17 pm]
[Tags|, , ]

It’s been a while, but nothing really lj-worthy, either.

 

So, a few quick hits:

 

*The Freshman Football Demons won again last night, 50-6.  The other team was pretty outmatched; they only had about 25 players total.  The score wasn’t really run up, either, the Demons ran almost the whole game.  The opponents had lots of turnovers in their own territory.  Everybody played for the good guys.

 

*(NFL) I could care less about the New England Patriots sideline camera scandal.  It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to me.  Of course, I’ve been pretty forgiving of most sports scandals lately.

 

*I killed my mp3 player the other day.  It was in one of my sons’ pockets (IDK which one) and I ran it through the washer.  I had become good about checking pockets ever since I ran my phone through the wash, and my older son always has wrappers and crap in his.  This time I was rushing and did the “shake it and guess” method.
