Okay, I don't know if this game is going to be any good or not, so bear with me - we'll see if it works. I'm afraid it's going to be way too hard, or if not, then way too easy. But like I say, we'll see.

This game is based on the wonderful website www.pandora.com. Here's how it works:

1. Go to www.pandora.com and register an account. It's free if you don't mind ads, and cheap if you do.
2. Type in a band or artist, and let it make a radio station for you.
3. Write down the first five songs it plays - artist and title - not counting songs by the band you put in. You can press the >>| button if you don't want to listen through all of them.
4. Put the list here - leave blanks for the songs by your band.
5. Now everybody tries to guess which band or artist you put in originally!

I'll go first:
1. ----
2. New Order: Age of Consent
3. Joy Division: Insight
4. ----
5. Depeche Mode: Shake the Disease
6. ----
7. Convoj: My Timekeeping Heart
8. The Magic Magicians: Everyone is Wrong

Okay. Guess my band or artist, and let's find out if this is a fun game!

Incorrect. Wait, were you joking? I mean, either way, incorrect. But what kind of joke is that?

I believe you were listening to Brian Eno.

Yes, I joke about The Smashing Pumpkins.

Close with Eno. In fact, I was listening to Gong.

I can't imagine what Bad Comrade was listening to. Clearly some fucked-up shit.

Oh, I think he was making a joke. He's got a band listed in the #1 slot. Doesn't the site always play your band first, not second or third like his list implies?

Love,

I think he was trying to guess mine in a joking-around way, but maybe he didn't realize that they were all supposed to be the same. Or maybe that was also part of the joke.
