Bandwagonesque (Brass foundry remix)

[hirez]

In a fit of something-or-other, I've hacked the front off some otherwise blameless mp3s and deposited the cuttings here.

A point for the perpetrator, a further point for the name of the offending item. Judge's decision both final and capricious.

Contains chart-pop, dodgy metal, big gay disco, sturdy indie and entirely the sorts of things you might expect.

Comments ought to be screened, but it would be no surprise to discover they weren't after all.

ladycat - 3 (I'm the one unashamed enough to put it/them in a quiz...)
jendama - 4 (Small gay disco? Probably.)
alasdair - 5 (Right band, wrong track)
nalsa - 6 (Right band, wrong track. Yes, it's Nat, but it's a sample. Aphex? Nah.)
gothgrr - 9 (What's wrong with the old 'Test match special' theme?)
mr_tom storms into the lead third with 16. (G&R? Simple Minds? Yer 'avin a tin bath...)
sarah_mum - 16 (Spotted the Poppies & JAMC. Missed the other big gay classic.)
zoo_music_girl & childeric. A joint effort secures second place with 19. (Yardbirds? Perhaps I should have left the 'And in session tonight' bit in...)
DJs take control: grega plays a blinder. 31. (Yes, you will kick yourself.)

[The very late uk_jon - 25 (You'll want to re-check that cuttings directory. Any other ancient recordings I can help you archive for posterity?)]

Ihateyou Ihateyou Ihateyou. There are some many of these that I'm thinking "Fuck, I know this, I probably know all the words, and I can't remember what it is, and it's going to bug me all day."



2) Timelords - Doctorin' The Tardis ?
4) Anthrax - Got The Time ?
20) I don't believe this is what it sounds like. No rational reason.
22) Nouvelle Vague - just can't get enough.
27) SLF - Alternative Ulster ?

#2 sounds Tainted Love-ish, but I doubt it's the original.
#3 is going to kill me. I know it. I can't remember what the hell it is.
#7 is genius. It's Jump, but played on an accordion? Marv.
#8 is Alison Goldfrapp's Ooh La La.
#9 sounds Sigur Ros-y, but nah, can't place it for sure.
#16 is Nat King Cole's When I fall in love, but I wonder if it's not a remix jobbie?
#18 is Aphex Twin. Or Orbital. One or the other. Erm. Unless it's someone else.
#20 is Jimi Hendrix with Voodoo Child
#23 is Soul Limbo by... Damnit. Booker T and the MGs, I think. AKA The BBC Cricket Theme, back in the good old days before commercial television.

Yeah, ok. My knowledge of music is rubbish.

Is 9 the intro to "Alive and Kicking" by Some Scottish Jangly Band
13 I want it to be TISM, but is it actually Mr. Severed Head?
15 Sounds like the intro to some dodgy Guns And Roses thing, but I'm sure you wouldn't do that to us.

DJs should have an advantage in an intros quiz, after all it's the bit we here most often through the cans before we go ahead and play the track. In some cases it's the boring bit we cut off and fade in after in which case the punter doesn't even get to hear it.

OOoer. My head hurts--so many of them sound familiar!

#6 is Echo & The Bunnymen "The Back of Love"
#7 sounds like Cheryl Crow doing Van Halen's "Jump"
#14 sounds like some a segue in some Joy Division song
#20 is Jimi Hendrix

PS
