The "Can you name all these songs?" game!(Answers Posted)
 
Here's how it works. I made an mp3 of 21 different songs, and you have to name all of them. There's a variety of different artists, but i'm sure that most of the people on here can get most of them. Download the file here, and copy and paste my template below this paragraph to fill in your answers

I've got nothing, the SY song sounded like an SYR release, perhaps SYR 1 and there was a Beck song.

I fail.

ZEROpumpkins 12.17.2007 02:57 AM

There's no Sonic Youth song in it!

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 12.17.2007 04:45 AM

Pretty challenging. I know a few of them, but mainly the 4 obvious ones.

ZEROpumpkins 12.17.2007 05:02 AM

There's a bit that sounds a lot like Peace attack but if you pay close attention it's not from that song indeed.

ZEROpumpkins 12.17.2007 06:25 AM

Sonic Youth is a close guess though. Hint Hint.

That's Thurston's "Elegy for all the dead rock stars ":)

That seems to be exactly the same chord as in Peace Attack.

Alex's Trip 12.17.2007 11:54 AM

Malkmus
