So here are all of the songs, and the artists that performed them, from my non-meme thing from
over here. I'm not sure how many people were actually trying to guess the responses, but out of the twenty five songs I posted only three were guessed correctly. Macgrrl and JLPullen, a good job from both of you. Now hang your heads in shame.

As you can see from this random selection of music, with its eclectic country blues, its fuzzed-out noise metal, its post-Brit Pop guitar tomfoolery, its blast-from-the-past goth/industrial music, its cool-from-four-years-ago indie tracks, its hip-grinding sex music from across the genre borders, and its two deep-in-the-crates Roots tracks, I used to work in a record store.
Actually, I've worked in two.
