15 for 33, the Sequel: 15 for 34

All are welcome to participate.

For those of you who need a refresher course, or are learning of this for the first time:

So with my big 34 right around the bend – 48 days from today - I was thinking the perfect gift would be a gazillion Scavenger hunt cd's made just for me! It costs you nothing but time, love and a blank CDR.

Wondering what the hell a Scavenger Hunt cd is? Well, it's pretty simple. I will provide a list below of 14 sets of criteria. Each track must fit the criteria. For instance, if I listed:
1. A song sung by a man named Paul
you could choose "Yesterday" by the Beatles or "Love Gun" by KISS or even a U2 song that isn't one of the three sung by David. Or if I listed:
2. A song you hate by a band you love
I would personally list "Piggies" by the Beatles or “Creep” by Radiohead.

Sounds fun, right? Ok - so here are the tracks. Some will be easy, some will be tougher. Some will be ridiculous, and some will be wild cards of sorts.

Have fun and make it reflect you as much as me. Don't get worried about things like "Oh - doesn't Heidi HATE the Kings of Leon?" (Answer: oh, yes. she does)


So here goes this year:


A song that...


  1. along with #15, is sung by the same lead singer, but is two different bands
    (see: Heaven and Hell era Black Sabbath, and Dio or Blur and Gorillaz or the Good Bad & Queen or...)

  2. is by a band with brothers … or sisters, or one of each (the White Stripes are not siblings, people)
    (see: Fountains of Wayne, the Kinks, early Replacements)

  3. sung by a Beatle, but not a Beatles song
    (see:- you should be able to figure this one out)

  4. in which the artist name drops another artist
    (see: Alex Chilton by the Replacements)

  5. contains $4 words or requires a dictionary to understand the lyrics
    (see: the Decemberists early catalog)

  6. is an up-tempo love song
    (see: Brand New Colony by the Postal Service)

  7. is not sung by the band's regular lead singer (guest artists, other band members and Ringo all accepted

  8. of which the title is a girl's name

  9. comes in under 3 minutes THAT IS NOT SONG 2 BY BLUR

  10. is just plain naughty

  11. was released in 1995
    (see: you can't all choose Wonderwall)

  12. was played at your favorite concert ever
    (me? She's in Parties by Bauhaus)

  13. is by an artist in memorium (a dead rock star song)
    (see: Jeff Buckley)

  14. is sung by a Canadian
    (see: Rush)

  15. see #1

Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 15 of 15 This song sounds familiar or Beatles covers


We all know how I feel about the Beatles. They are sacred. For years, during my silly adolescent i-know-everything years, I even refused to acknowledge the significance of a Beatles cover... until I finally realized a lot of their early stuff... were covers.

So, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as the Gallagher brothers have often reminded us, here are some bona fide compliments.

Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 14 KTO? Quien? Songs sung by Continental (or just non-English) Europeans

They come from all over the continent - or thereabouts - to sing their songs. From the northern reaches of Scandinavia, to the far ocean reaches of Iceland, and back to the monstrosity of a country that produced my favorite liquor - and my favorite husband.

Here are you English-singing (mostly), non-English speaking (mostly) offerings...

SWEDEN
CROSSES: Jose Gonzalez

Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 13 Building me up while you're shooting me down or Upbeat songs with downbeat lyrics


In making a recent mix cd for a friend, I discovered that this particular category might just be my favorite sub-genre of music in general, as I made a 17-track cd comprised almost entirely of perky songs with dread-filled lyrics. Even my favorite song of all time, Squeeze's "Tempted" is a ridiculously bouncy song about a someone fucking up, figuratively and literally.

Much like category 12, there is a clear master of this particular craft. I am surprised to report that Erica, known Morrissey-phile, was not amongst the four who chose a pairing of his lyrics with Mr. Marr's melodies, but then again, she was certainly not remiss in including them elsewhere.

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT: the Smiths
Rory
Aly
- may i never forget the night we were at Karaoke Melody belting this one out when Jenn's Mr. O said "FUCK, THAT SONG IS DEPRESSING!" (not verbatim)

DEATH AT ONE'S ELBOW: the Smiths
Scot
-even the title gives you fair warning

WHAT SHE SAID: the Smiths
Nikki G

EVERYTHING COUNTS: Depeche Mode
Erica
-seems a reasonable follow up to the Smiths

BEST FRIEND: the Drums
SKIPPIN' TOWN: the Drums
Erin O
-perhaps the new purveyors of depressed pop

LIKE THE WEATHER: 10,000 Maniacs
Blake
-if you're wondering where the sun is, it's finally in Atlanta today

MAD WORLD: Tears for Fears
Jenn O
-also masters of this art in their own right

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN: Arctic Monkeys
Amanda
- misery to you can get down to

LESSONS LEARNED: Matt & Kim
Chuck
-makes me bounce in my seat at work in spite of itself

TOJO: Hoodoo Gurus
Katherine
-knew these guys would pop up sometime

ONE ANGRY DWARF: Ben Folds Five
Joe
-so delighted with the Ben Folds occurrences!

FREAKSHOW: Gothic Archies
Megan
- does Stephen Merritt write happy songs?

TODAY: Smashing Pumpkins
Crickett
-one of the last songs by these guys that i actually liked

ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS: Garbage
Kyle
-pour your misery down on me, indeed

YOU HAVE PLACED A CHILL IN MY HEART: Eurythmics
Stuart
-i really really miss Eurythmics. can i just say that?

CADENCE OF HER LAST BREATH: Nightwish
Liz
-this inclusion did my husband proud. also, reminds me of the time Casey, Nikki G, & i saw that cut out at the coffee shop register - "10 Metal Bands Whose Names Sound Like Flavors of Tea: 1. Nightwish, 2. Moonspell..."

...and some classics...

ELEANOR RIGBY: the Beatles
Misty
-well, the downbeat part assuredly

ALL YOU GET FROM LOVE IS A LOVE SONG: the Carpenters
Sarah
- this and "Superstar" help me to understand my mother's love for the Carpenters

GLORY DAYS: Bruce Springsteen
Aunt Christy
- this very well could have been my life. thank gawwwwd it is not.

LAVENDER COFFIN: Joe Thomas
Thomas
- this one is brand new to me




Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 12 What's this thing called again? or Songs whose title is not reflected in the lyrics

With this category, I am reminded of how I miss Tuesday night music trivia at the Angel with my girls... and how much of a pin in the ass songs like this were when we go them. We KNEW the song, KNEW the artist, but damn! What's that weird title? What? What the hell does "Selling the Drama" mean anyway.

As it turns out (thankfully) no one chose that one. Instead, I do believe we can crown Misters Sumner and Hook as the joint kings of random titles. And we all know how I love New Order. They only pop up twice here, but I am pretty sure they still reign supreme.

TRUE FAITH: New Order
Misty
- i actually just included this on Scot's own SH CD as my "song i hated when i was young and stupid, but love now" track. well, that's not how he worded it, just my interpretation

SUBCULTURE: New Order
Stuart
-followed by...

THE HEADMASTER RITUAL: the Smiths
Erica
- the namesake of a certain dj i know

PARANOID ANDROID: Radiohead
Blake

WRAITH PINNED TO THE MIST AND OTHER GAMES: Of Montreal
Joe
-wait. isn't this called the Outback song? ;)

POLITE DANCE SONG: the Bird & the Bee
Thomas

CLINT EASTWOOD: Gorillaz
Jenn O

CLOUDS UP: Air
Aly

A CAUTIONARY TALE: the Decemberists
Erin O (disc 1)

THIS IS WHY YOU LOVE ME: Brian Jonestown Massacre
Erin O (disc 2)

SANS SOLEIL: Miike Snow
Katherine

DUTCH WONDERLAND: Josh Joplin Group
Aunt Christy
- appropriately, as she introduced me to JJG, who i consequently loved for many many years after

CARE OF CELL 44: the Zombies
Scot
- i always forget how much i love the Zombies

COLD DAYS FROM THE BIRDHOUSE: the Twilight Sad
Amanda

IOU: Metric
Nikki G

UNCHAINED MELODY: John Cowan
Crickett

POP ROCKS AND COKE: Green Day
Rory

SHADOW STABBING: Cake
Sarah

3 LIBRAS: A Perfect Circle
Kyle
- what you may or may not know about me - kyle knows it, clearly - is that Maynard Kenan is in possession of maybe my favorite and most coveted singing voice in all of rock. at least of people who are still living.

D'YER MAKER: Led Zeppelin
Megan
- another bit of trivia: Houses of the Holy, the first Zeppelin cd i ever bought with my own money

CAPE COD KWASSA KWASSA: Hot Chip & Peter Gabriel
Chuck
- it's almost like this song was created JUST to make me happy

TOO FAMOUS TO GET FULLY DRESSED: Butch Walker
Liz
- I shoulda guessed this guy was gonna show up on liz's cd eventually :)

Stuart
- also brand new to me somehow

DILLY: Band of Horses
Thomas
-i shouldn't like BoH - but lord, i cannot help but do

Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 10 Songs from the year of our birth 1977


1977. A good year...

A year that gave us Star Wars. The rise and fall of the Sex Pistols, followed by a an American punk scene. The inauguration of Jimmy Carter. A song called "Melissa" by the Allman Bros. and one little girl whose Daddy loved that song so much that it's my middle name.

I was meant to be a rock child. So here are the offerings from the year of my birth - and many of yours...

HARD LUCK WOMAN: KISS
Erin O (disc 2)
-appropriately, the first piece of rock n roll to be pinned up on my bedroom wall? a picture of Peter Criss when i was 4.

BARRACUDA:
Katherine
Stuart
-some day i will sing at Metalsome Monday. and this will be my song.

COLD AS ICE: Foreigner
Rory
Misty
- it's funny to me to think that Rory was probably rocking out to this as a kid when it came out, while Misty was probably still incubating in the womb.

ROCKAWAY BEACH: the Ramones
Nikki G
YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER OPENED THAT DOOR: the Ramones
Aly
SHEENA IS A PUNK ROCKER

Liz
-keeping the balance with my ultimate sugar daddy

WE WILL ROCK YOU/WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS: Queen
Erica
-as a small child i was so terrified of the cover art for News of the World that i honestly thought this song was from the point of view of a robot monster coming to crush me in his hands. it delights me to no end to think of how i love both of these tracks now.

CA PLANE POUR MOI: Plastic Bastards
Scot
-i can't listen to this song in the car. i am dancing driver and this song make me toooo bouncy!

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT: Talking Heads
Blake
-i cannot fathom that there were Talking Heads before there was me

SHE'S ALWAYS A WOMAN: Billy Joel
Joe
-the line about cutting you and laughing while you're bleeding has always haunted me, but oddly, that's always made this my favorite Billy Joel song

AMERICAN GIRL: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Crickett
- makes me inappropriately think about Fast Times at Ridgemont High

CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON: Kansas
Kyle
-still one of my favorite classic rock tracks ever

YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING: Leo Sayer

Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 09 Songs about the animal kingdom, or 'This one is for the birds!'

Track 9: songs from the animal kingdom. I erroneously thought that this one would be trickier, but it seems there are a plethora of great songs, and especially BIRDSONGS! We run the gamete of domesticated critters, with a few genuine wildlife thrown in to keep the balance.

So, up up and away...


BIRDHOUSE IN YOUR SOUL: They Might Be Giants
Erica
-this song never ceases to make my gray skies blue light the canary in the outlet by the light switch, even if only for the three minutes or so it may last. btw, should anyone need a gift idea for me anytime in the future, go here

LITTLE BIRD: Robert Rounseville
Sarah
-brand new to me. i do love surprises!

BIRD SONG: Florence + the Machine
Nikki G
-given Florence's Grammy dress, i think this is delightfully appropriate. lots of Florence appearances in these past and future posts.

TWO BIRDS: Regina Spektor
Joe
-if you make me like a Regina Spektor song, you win a prize, sir.

AN OWL WITH KNEES: the Books
Jenn O
-another pleasant surprise. the backing vocals on this lull me away.

RIDE A WHITE SWAN: T Rex
Liz
- Ms. H, you are a girl after my own little glam rock heart.

MAYFLY: Belle & Sebastian
Scot
-ok, not a bird, but a wing-ed creature and on my list of ever favorite voices

...and from the scratch-post...

LOVE CATS: the Cure
Stuart
-perhaps my most beloved song about animals in the whole universe, it's so wonderfully,
wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully pretty. and who's surprised that stuart picked a cat song???

CAT PEOPLE (PUTTING OUT FIRE): David Bowie
Erin O (disc 1)
-that scene in Inglorious Bastards where Melanie Laurent is getting dolled up for destruction? that will forever play in my head when i hear this song.

...and from the dog park...

DOG: Ben Folds
Erin O (disc 2)
-dog, dog!

I WANNA BE YOUR DOG: the Stooges
Megan
-this song makes me crazy in the good way. i guess it's kinda supposed to.

HOUND DOG: Elvis Presley
Aunt Christy
- we all know how i feel about "the King." but nevertheless, Aunt C made an excellent choice.

WOLVES, LOWER: REM
Blake
- somehow, i have managed to get through life and college in Georgia in the late 90's without ever having heard this song before. i was missin' out, y'all.

... bunnies!

RABBIT'S EAR: The Late BP Helium
Aly
- girl, where do you find this stuff?

RED RABBITS: the Shins
Amanda
- mr. mercer, another voice that can sing me to sleep any time he'd like, even if it's not a lullaby

... and rounding out the pet store...

HAVE YOU FED THE FISH TODAY? : Badly Drawn Boy
Katherine
-he's such a moody performer, but i love him all the same.

On the farm...

SHEEP: the Housemartins
Thomas
-baaaaaahhhhhdass

BUFFALO STANCE: Neneh Cherry
Misty
-smells like adolescence and 80's night. love it.

Welcome to the jungle... or maybe the zoo

RIGHT IN TWO: Tool
Kyle
- we are all monkeys. "Silly monkeys give them thumbs..."

ONCE I WAS A MONKEY: Dayroom
Crickett
- it's like an evolution lesson!

NELLIE THE ELEPHANT: Toy Dolls

...and to sum it all up...

ANIMAL: Miike Snow
Chuck
-i'm still, i'm still an an-i-mal

Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 08 Double threats, or singing actors/acting singers

Sometimes it's a disaster. Sometimes it's just better this way. And sometimes, just sometimes, you find that an actor tor truly does carry enough talent around to be a respectable musician as well. We didn't limit our choices to this latter option in selecting our offerings for track 8 on the Scavenger Hunt cd, but that's ok. Listening to Don Johnson's career going down in a synthesized flame was amusing if not truly enjoyable.

Note to Jared Leto, I do not mean you, and James Franco please don't get any ideas. Jason Schwartzman, however, you may continue.

HEARTBEAT: Don Johnson
Misty
- she said it herself, as he should have said to the world when this song was released, "sorry."

NIGHT TIMIN': Coconut Records

MY BODY'S A ZOMBIE FOR YOU: Dead Man's Bones

COMMON PEOPLE: William Shatner with Joe Jackson (and Ben Folds)
Megan
Amanda
- i think at two particular points in my life you could have caught me and either of these respective roommates of mine clearing the common room floor to dance around frantically to this little gem

TRIBUTE: Tenacious D
Kyle
WONDERBOY: Tenacious D
Aunt Christy
- when Jack Black does movies like Tropic Thunder or The Holiday... ok I guess THEN he counts as an actor

COVERED: Uh Huh Her
Liz
- that chick from "The L Word"!

BREAKIN' UP: Rilo Kiley
Thomas
-little Jenny all grown up and transitioned beautifully into a Indie Rock Princess

JUMP INTO MY CAR: David Hasselhoff
- oh, the Hoff! oh, the cheese!

SHE'S LIKE THE WIND: Patrick Swayze
Katherine
- this list would not be complete without it.

...as for those who were singers first...

LIKE A PRAYER: Madonna
Blake
- i guess she's an actress. she has acted in movies, sometimes even convincingly

GOOD VIBRATIONS: Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch
Jenn O
-who'da thunk that guy would get an Oscar nomination so many years later?

LET LOVE RULE: Lenny Kravitz
Erica
-almost unidentifiable in Precious

...and from some bona fide soundtrack work...

FRANK MILLS: the cast of HAIR
Scot
-the epitome of a song sung by actors

THE ORIGIN OF LOVE: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Chuck
-if only all actors could sing like this

I'M ALIVE: the cast of Next to Normal
Joe
-someone please tell me why i haven't seen this show yet.

POP! GOES MY HEART: Hugh Grant
Rory
-from that one movie, i think, where he was in Take That or something?

HINDI SAD DIAMONDS: Nicole Kidman & the cast of Moulin Rouge
Nikki G
TANGO DE ROXANNE: Ewan McGregor, Jose Feliciano & the cast of Moulin Rouge
Sarah
- what can i say? MOULIN ROUGE!

Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 07 Shake dat azzz
