Braindumps

Now that I actually have one, I felt I should finally do this. . .  :-)

You know how this works, right?
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

1. Come on, baby, let's get out of this town. ("You Can Sleep While I Drive," Melissa Etheridge, nukekitty)
2. Some people think I'm crazy
3. Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
4. I like your pants around your feet ("Figured You Out," Nickelback, kengi01)
5. All the fear has left me now ("Fumbling Towards Ecstacy," Sarah McLachlan, servergirl )
6. I can the feel the magic flowing in the air ("Breathe," Faith Hill, servergirl )
7. We'll do it all
8. I need love, love ("You Can't Hurry Love," Phil Collins, ctrlalttabby)

10. If you feel that it's real I'm on trial
11. Dead I am the one, exterminating son ("Dragula," Rob Zombie, kengi01)

15. Open up the book you beat me with again.
16. Gonna kick off my shoes and run in bare feet ("Where the Blacktop Ends," Keith Urban, kengi01)
17. Is it getting better, or do you feel the same? ("One," U2, spoondave)
18. Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog ("Round Here," Counting Crows, keithdb )
19. We are young, heartache to heartache we stand ("Love Is A Battlefield," Pat Benetar, spoondave )
20. I saw fireworks from the freeway
21. I want to run, I want to hide ("Where the Streets Have No Name," U2, servergirl )
22. It's about as bad as it could be ("Up," Shania Twain, spritelyone
23. We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find
24. It doesn't mean much, it doesn't mean anything at all ("Sweet Surrender," Sarah McLachlan,servergirl )
25. All this feels strange and untrue

. . . of a Dixie nature: Today, Howard Stern had on the Dixie Chicks, who have been much maligned in recent years for their lead singer's comments on the Iraq War. They've stuck to their guns about this, not backed down or cracked under the immense pressure of war- and Bush-supporting radio broadcast companies, like ClearChannel and Cox Radio, banning their music. When they started producing their latest album, they told Sony to not expect any radio support. The first single from this album is "Not Ready To Make Nice," which specifically speaks about the protests, the death threats, the outright idiotic behavior directed at 3 women who had the audacity to think that a war resulting in thousands of innocents dead and destabilizing the country we were supposed to free from tyranny was pointless and someone needed to say so.

I'd been thinking about picking up this latest album just because I enjoy their music, but I'm now triply inclined to do so after being reminded of just how stupid things have gotten in this country. I'd urge everyone to buy a copy of the CD, or maybe just the new track from your favorite site, if only to support the freedoms our forefathers built into our constitution. The same freedoms the current administration and its staunchest followers think we only deserve if we speak in favor of said administration and all of its policies.

Okay, I'm putting away the soapbox now, I promise.
