So Manny reminded me that it’s been a while since we’ve played a round of Name That Tune.

Clues
- I’ve never been so alone / And I’ve never been so alive.
- Maybe her eyes are just a little bit red / Almost all the time
- We’re wearing nothing, nothing but our shadows / Shadows falling down on the beach sand
- Tell me does he look like me at all / ‘Cause they’re all an awful lot like you
- And did you exchange a walk on part in the war / for a lead role in a cage?
- You painted me in pastel / colors that don’t tell of any boldness.
- Boiling heat, summer stench / ‘neath the black the sky looks dead
- So throw your hands in the motherfuckin’ air / And show some love to a Alabama playa
- He’s a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!
- Is it you or your parents / In this income tax bracket?
- The steering wheel is Fendi, dashboard Armani, / With Your baby-momma, playa, is where u can find me
- So how can you just sit there sleeping / When your world’s on fire and your chest is beating?
- If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
- The music was live and the party was a rocker / Not all the girls were cute but they all had big knockers
- So you write the title, I’ll write the chapters / We could read a story of love gone disaster

Alright. Go nuts.
11.) Big Tymers - Still Fly
Uneasy Rider- The Charlie Daniels Band (And yes, it’s very much a shame that I know this.)
And that would be #9. Sorry about that.
7 is Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
14 is College Girls Are Easy by NWA (hey I work at a college…I know these things)
and 15 is The Story by Tristan Prettyman
And 1 and 4 both sound really REALLY familiar in my head but I can’t think of them.
Not the right artist for #14, Amy… although that’s a common mistake. It’s also not Easy E or the Beastie Boys, just to head off the other common mistakes.
5 is Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
#1 is motorcycle driveby by Third Eye Blind
Ok someone out there has got to know what number 4 is (someone besides Pete)…its killing me and I don’t wanna google it….
And
Wrong Artist? damn.
Ok I couldn’t stand it and I googled number four…and its not ringing any bells so I am just a nut apparently.
#6 “The Artist” by The Hush Sound
Lawl at Amy.
You can tell I’m procrastinating…
But #2 is Almost Perfect - Ingram Hill and #4 is Pretty the World - Matt Nathanson (before he went radio pop).
Right church, wrong pew on #4 BA. Nice catch on #2, though.
It’s Curve of the Earth.
I had to listen to Matt Nathanson songs all afternoon for that.
Happy to provide a distraction.
