dubdobdee archive quiz

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

i am unpacking my library, yes, i am!

or actually i am over the next few months going through my records -- all forms, slowly -- to see if i can offload some and clear up some space: and i am going to write them up on FT (some of them anyway) in the "SOONER IS BETTER THAN LATER" feature

BUT YOU CAN TAKE PART TOO (kinda): by guessing what records i have! (concept ©martinskidmore)

anyway, i'm starting with the 7"s, anti-alphabetically, so this mornin i'm writing up X Y and Z:

what will i be talking about!??
(clue: i don't have a super-massive record collection by some nearby standards -- X-Z 7"s only comprises 9 items)

all no 7"-wise :(

it's 9 items but only 7 artists: and the double-ups are the most intriguing (FSVO)* and i think unguessable -- i got them as review freebies, rather than by my own purchase choice, and kept them bcz i am slothful and never chuck anything out

*they'll be the most interesting to think and write about, cz i have no emotional investment and (with hindsight) little remaining of the strategic positioning i would have felt AT THE TIME (in ref.what "part of the critical spectrum" i cared to be seen to be on)

YEH YEH NOH (may be cheating as you mentioned it in an email)

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

Yellow Magic Orchestra

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

X: No!
X-Ray Spex: Yes!
XTC: No!
Xymox, Clan Of: No!
Yazoo: No!
Yazz: No!
Yeah Yeah Noh!: Yes!
Yello: Yes!
Yellow Magic Orchestra: No!
Yellowman: No!
Yo La Tengo: No!
Zappa: No!
ZZ Top: No!

Of the four remaining artists, one is i think reasonably guessable given it;s me, two are probably unguessable but you might have heard of them (they're not wildly obscure but not exactly dubdobdee music) (they're the review-freebie double-ups) and one i have no idea why i have it, who they are, or even if it's the songname that begins with y not the bandname)
