I have a sore throat, so in lieu of doing anything of substance I've spent the past 2 hours stealing a meme game from

Comments

Yes on 5, 11, 19 (the actual version selected was Graham Nash solo, but I'll accept any permutations on CSNY because I have them all), 22 and 50. 23 yes it's Dar.

50? Holy Christ! \o/

4 - Different Drum - Linda Ronstadt?
11 - Jockey Full of Bourbon - Tom Waits?
21 - Hooked on a Feeling - Blue Swede?
22 - The Present Tense Tureen - Moxy Fruvous
23 - My Friends - Dar Williams
29 - Captain Wedderburn - Great Big Sea (my guess is the live version with Sarah Harmer, am I right?)
38 - Irish Dream - Eddie From Ohio
42 - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson
49 - Yarmouth Town - Great Big Sea
50 - In My Room - Beach Boys

And I'm going to have to wait for someone else to chime in with 6, 7, and 30. I can almost hear them, but I can't even place a voice to them, let alone titles or artists.

4, 11, 21 yes on title, wrong on artist. (nafs got 11.) And yes on all the others.

My iTunes is psychotic, I swear. It wanted to give you kind folks Gregorian chants too. I just said NO.

*edits busily*

2) What Kind of Lover Am I? Erin McKeown
7) Love Set Fire - Moxy Fruvous
11) Jockey Full of Bourbon - Moxy Fruvous, probably from Live Noise
22) Present Tense Tureen - Moxy Fruvous
42) 1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson?
49) Yarmouth Town? - Great Big Sea

[iniswitryn]

Yep on all, but you got beat to the last 4 by prior commenters.

Good show on Love Set Fire, which they both missed. *shocked*

[misch]

She played Love Set Fire!!! How could they miss it!?!?!

[iniswitryn]

It wasn't Fell In Love. :D

On #2 - oops! Right song, wrong title. I'll give you first dibs on fixing it.

2 Queen of Quiet - Erin McK teh rockstar
12 Happytown - Dave Carter
16 Old John Gorka - Hank Senior Moment

44 Antje - Dandelion (super easy one!)

Captain's log supplemental ...

[folktraveler]

48 Masters of War - Bob Dylan (if this were my iTunes it would be a Don McLean cover :)

Re: Captain's log supplemental ...

[iniswitryn]

Ha! This is so *not* a folkie cover. (hint hint hinty hint)

Re: Um hi!

[iniswitryn]

About the titles-in-first-line: I KNOW.
