So over at Uncertain Principles Chad Orzel has a post listing songs on his ipod named after women. Since I had nothing better to do I did the same myself, and I found that I only have thirty (out of about 3600 songs). Fewer than what I expected, and it seems that I probably have more with men's names.
Anyway, I figured we'd make a little game out of it. See if between all six of my readers, you can name the artists who perform these songs. A couple of them are obscure, but I'm fairly confident that even between Barnes and Joel alone you could get most of them. And just to make it interesting, if you don't collectively get over %50 by midnight on Saturday, I'll murder all of your families!
1) Aisha
2) Ruby
3) Alice
4) Judith
5) Deanna
6) Xtal (This one probably shouldn't count, but hey.)
7) Sabrina
8) Grace
9) Magdalena
10) Lucy
11) Minerva
12) Jezabel
13) Rose
14) Madeline
15) Katrien
16) Vera
17) Pauline
18) Lydia

The rest I have no idea. Next person's go!
OK Joel got 12, (I'm counting his two guesses at Xtal as being half right (it's Aphex Twin) and giving him 1.5 for guessing that I have the Plaid remix of Bjork's Lilith.
Anyway, that's all the easy ones gone... Joel you should've known #2...
Hmm, Joel has done much better than I have.
I'll just add to his:
Minerva - Deftones
Sophie - Goodshirt
Lily - SP's
Vera - Pink Floyd
Thats all I can think of at the moment. I think it gets us over the 50% mark tho.
Yay for living families!
(disappointed to not see Astronomy Dominie in htere, btw. Haha)
Good work Barnes you've saved everyone's families.
Astronomy Domine would be a title rather than a name so is technically ineligible...
Pff. What if I get Steph to change her name?
Gah, I rake my brainz but can't quite work out Ruby. It feels like it is on the tip of recognition, but just can't make it. You'll have to eventually tell me, either that or I'll just search google
OK these are the ones you didn't get:
Ruby - Tweaker
Alice - Tom Waits
Xtal - Aphex Twin
Sabrina - Einsturzende Neubauten
Madeline - Pluto
Katrien - Mogwai
Pauline - Darling Violetta
Tracy - Mogwai
Jessamin - Darling Violetta
Elizabeth - Team Sleep
Sylvia - Pulp
Candy Jones - Darling Violetta
Anna - Originally by some band I can't remember, but covered by The Jesus Lizard
But you guys did pretty well, most of the ones you didn't get were pretty obscure.
