20 is Cam'ron, and its from the "purple haze" record :-D

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]

Yes, Cam'ron, but it was on a DJ Clue mixtape and I'm not actually sure it ever actually appeared on PH in spite of the beginning. Still, you win.

6 is Ladyflash by the Go! Team!

Re: HOW SOON WE FORGET...

I am disappointed Mark beat me to Bristol Rovers' theme song! Is #15 Big Baby Jesus? I can't remember if it starts that way.

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]

Not quite BBJ, though ODB's on this track.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

12 is "the gift" by the vetsies

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]

Eh, I'll have to take care of this once I get to work.

[copied over from my thread]

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

freakytigger: 1 is Wire - can't remember song name (The 15th?) - BUT looking at the list I read it in the voice of Richard Burton in Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds.
epicharmus: Ha ha, yes, but different version.
dubdobdee: haha 9 = irene goodnight (made famous by leadbelly? but i assume trad and could be covered by anyone)
epicharmus: yes it's the weavers
stevem78: Fischerspooner? or better yet, Mike Watt's version!

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

Well, it's half that.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

Re: by logic

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's Go Home Productions, "Velvet Sugar."

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]

Bbbut I've been posting on poptimists and ILx! (One crazy thing about the internet is that you can think you're being completely transparent about your life, and yet people can still ask -- with good reason -- "HEY MAN WHERE YOU BEEN?")

Important things to know about Michael Daddino right now:

1) Beard is currently at the same length as it is in my lead friendster photo. (Also, possibly important: I am not on myspace. Is this a crime?) Beard will get longer again.
2) I am, in little ways, trying to save the world. You should doing be the same.
3) Yes, I am *trying* to update American Hot Wax/Land of a Thousand Dances. I have NOT abandoned it.
4) I am also trying to write other things, like another proposal for EMP, etc. etc.
5) Temporarily putting aside interesting and ginormous MP3 project. Exactly what it is can be deduced from list above.
5) Currently dateless.
6) Will be handling my family's Thanksgiving dinner. I consider this completely fascinating.
7) Currently reading Frank's book.

#16 is The Guillemots. 'Trains To Brazil'. (Or was it Planes? Or Tickets?)

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]

Bingo, it is that indeed. (nb: I haven't actually *heard* this song, really.)
