Guess the Bands (30.07.09)

I put my iPod on shuffle and post the first lines from the first songs that play.

You all try to guess the names of the bands or of any of the songs.  Post your guess for any of the lines in the comments.  If someone’s right, I’ll cross that line out with a note of the bands name.

Looking up the lyrics or a band in a search engine (that includes google) is cheating.

Let’s have fun!

1. Good to my baby, Good to my baby
2. If you need a friend, don’t look to a stranger.
3. We were talkin’ together I said what’s up with this weather [High of 75 (Relient k)]
4. Spanish songs in Andalucia.  The shooting sites in the days of ’39
5. I’m sorry for the temper I let get away from me.
6. Reveal to me the mysteries.  Can you tell me what it means?
7. Hung up here on a web of comfort.
8. I was gonna spell it out in detail but I dropped the call
9. Death until the dust and we’re waiting.  Ruined in the rust of our craving.
10. Every day is a new day.  I’m thankful for every breath I take. [Alive (POD)]
11. I’ll tell you flat out it hurts so much to think of this. [When I Go Down (Relient k)
12. This is a public service announcement.  Now that I'm awake, I'm never sleeping again.
13. O come and mourn with me awhile, oh come here to the saviors side.
14. Sunshine won't you be my mother.
15. Original Roots In Stereo, ya know.  One time, bring it down selecta [Roots in Stereo (POD)]
16. A roll of the dice, a slip of the tongue
17. Would you believe me, would you listen if I told you that
18. No one told me the right way, the right way to go about this
19. I’m good, good, good to go.  I got to get away. [I So Hate Consequences (Relient k)]
20. Once I read a book, and this is what it said: if your music has a beat
21. I was scared, but once I thought about it I let it go…
22. I lie here paralytic inside this soul. [Rebirthing (Skillet)]
23. Searching the world the lost will be found.
24. You’re more than unstable, you’re like an unwinding cable car.
25. May our praise be all that you can hear.
26. Christians, we’re all afraid of fire. [Take It All (Hillsong United)]
27. I feel fine and I can smile but I feel the anger coming.
28. I’ve been fading in the dark for too long.
29. Float by open windows, what a shipwreck, what a shipwreck.
30. Tell me where our time went, and if it was time well spent. [Pressure (Paramore)]

Funhouse

The mirror the builder installed in my bathroom stretches the reflection, like a funhouse mirror at a carnival.

Fallen Princesses

“These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘…happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.”
Fallen Princesses is a series of photos by Dina Goldstein.

Packaging: Make Some Fun

“Jell-o
Packaging, Promotional, Various
-
Objective:
Re-branding of identity and packaging for Jell-o, repositioning the target market toward kids, and still appealing to adult consumers familiar to Jell-o from their childhood.
-
Description
The re-branding of Jell-o sought to recreate the classic feeling of joy the gelatin dessert had brought to previous generations without relying on nostalgia.
-
By introducing a cast of fun stylized characters and a visual vocabulary that feels fresh and fun, the new Jell-o identity burst with vibrancy and joy. The simple graphic fruit characters, bright color-palette and naive typography makes the brand feel playful and pop without veering into overtly saccharine or Saturday morning cartoon territory.”
