Tagged by J-Lu -- actually, I begged to be tagged, which doesn't count, so she deservedly called me lame -- but here goes:
1. open your winamp/itunes
2. put the shuffle -mode on
3. find a picture of the first 20 artists. if the same artist comes again, skip
4. why you should do this? so that other people would know what you're listening and how the bands look like
( 5. GUESS !!!!! )
I feel a little bad not including credits for the photos, but will do that once enough people have tried their luck guessing. (I was tempted to cheat and select cool / difficult bands, but this is really it.)
Don't know who to tag -- this is a difficult undertaking (okay, it actually took me all of 20 minutes, maybe).
[Update: changed one picture for greater clarity, not that it mattered, since they were already identified...]

Posted by: skipscada on September 12, 2005 10:27 AMI can't believe you still play Puffy. I watched two minutes of that crap on TV and turned the channel. Orientalist infantile garbage!!! This is why your Pinoise bands aren't on TV cuz the mainstream wants Hello Kitty Japanese cuteness.
Posted by: Brown on September 12, 2005 05:20 PM1. I fully agree with the first comment. That is *definitely* Dostoevsky, before he got signed to Sub Pop.
3. Wouldn't this be more like some 80s UK band or something? I thought GbV looked a bit scruffier.
6. John Waite?
20. I don't know if she's Laura Cantrell, but I do know she's pretty hot.
