WESTLIFE ARE GOING TO GET THE XMO

I thought that said Westlife are going Emo...

[identity profile] carsmilesteve.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
IT IS ALL THAT EMO DESERVES!!!

[identity profile] zenith.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
Westlife are going to get the XFM #1 anyway.

I have long (well okay, since sometime this year) suspected that boyofbadgers is at the centre of any diagram one might draw of the internet (well, okay, LJ/ILX), and now it has been proven.

[identity profile] martinskidmore.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It was also proven when there was a brief fad of signing up with I think OKCupid, which told you your best match worldwide, and for many of us (me included - I was very flattered) it was boyofbadgers.

I heard someone say that the favourite for Xmas #1 is 'X Factor winner'.

So is that 0 for 3 for Chemistry singles then? Oh dear.

[identity profile] alexmacpherson.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
2 very average songs and one ominous ballad = 0 for 3 in GA terms.

[identity profile] alexmacpherson.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Average in quality!

[livejournal.com profile] spittake would actually be a point higher except I'm a complete spanner and swapped my guesses for her and [livejournal.com profile] skillextric.

High scores may correspond to whether people have the band in question listed in their LJ interests. Although bugger, this means I am the only person who did not get freakytigger's, and then only because I thought "no, too obvious" - duh.

[identity profile] braisedbywolves.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Whereas I was simply unaware of [livejournal.com profile] katstevens's profound love of Lady Sov.

[livejournal.com profile] spittake's only intersection between her interest list and the quiz = France Gall, so your theory is Bad Science!

[identity profile] zenith.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Science is in the dock, etc.

katstevens posted Lady Sov luv in this very community mere days ago!

In my defense, I am dim.

[identity profile] byebyepride.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish I had thought to look at people's interests, or even their ljs before posting, or I could certainly have equalled BoB's score, since spittake does I believe have France Gall listed I discovered this am!

[identity profile] dubdobdee.livejournal.com 2005-11-24 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
i am sort of pleased that ppl cannot pin me down so easily! (my "interests list" = cashew nuts, hot goblinism, rainy mcmaster and a large number of ways of describing MYSELF!! atommickbrane fashioned it largely

But I guessed yr Roxy Music love!!
