Okay, if any employers to whom I applied in Austin would like to offer me a job, now would be the time to do so. I’m bringing some stuff home to New York with me this weekend, and I’m not exactly looking forward to moving the rest of it back there in July. I’m just saying. Time’s getting short.

I’m stealing this from ArtMachine, but that’s okay. Memes were made to be stolen:

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list, and write down your favorite line of the song. Then YOU people have to guess the artist and title… blah blah blah…

  1. I have stood here before inside the pouring rain with the world turning circles running ’round my brain
  2. Well I broke a heart over someone like you
  3. What I am to you is not what you mean to me
  4. All of these somewheres have led her to nowhere except a slow, slow song
  5. If you don’t have it you’re on the other side
  6. Penguins are so sensitive
  7. Backbeat the word was on the street that the fire in your heart is out
  8. But you better not complain boy, you get in trouble with the man
  9. The sun is a mass of incadescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
  10. And I am never broken
  11. If the wrinkle that is in your brain has given you quite a steam your fingers have become a crane pulling on these puppet strings
  12. Sweet dreams are made of anything that gets you in the scene
  13. You’re messin’ up my mind and fillin’ up my senses
  14. Somebody might hear you calling and come to help you soon
  15. La peau tirée par des machines à clous
  16. Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
  17. Now I’m hiding in Honduras
  18. It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again
  19. Don’t say that you love me!
  20. See the man with the lonely eyes, take his hand, you’ll be surprised

Try to answer before looking at the comments. Cheaters are lame.

Update: As you may notice, I’m crossing out the ones that have been guessed already. It’s not as if I listen to terribly obscure music of anything, y’know — as I think any of my fellow mix CD exchange participants can attest.
