Here's the game: following are some song lyrics. You have to identify the song and artist (if you know one, I imagine you know the other). And NO Googling. Note: these songs are somewhat randomly selected; they're all songs I like, but not really significant beyond that.

Just found this and I'm heading out the door. I'll do it tonight.
Polyman introduced me to Animal Collective. It was only recently that I came across some acceptable speakers that allowed Flesh Canoe to be heard for what it is truly worth. There's some things that just don't work with mono
There's a person I trade musical tastes with. I do believe I'll point him towards Harrison LemkeI've not the will to hassle for a myspace ripper, so I'll have to satisfy my collection with the free pieces of Disparities1. You Were Right, Built to Spill
2. ? Jeff Buckley3. Kid A, Radiohead4. All We Have is Now, Flaming Lips7. ? Pavement9. Overs, S & G10. ? SufjanCan't get the song names for some of these guys…Ah, you got the Simon and Garfunkel one. Even more points for you in my book.
As for the others, you're all right, except it's Van Morrison ("Sweet Thing"), not Jeff Buckley.And the Pavement song is "Here", and the Sufjan song is… well, okay, *I* don't remember the name exactly. One of those long ones. "The Columbian Exposition Of 1893 Part 2 - Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream," I think.Oh, and thanks a lot serprex. And the rest of you who said kind things.
And yes, you were right, Rez, for the record.Heh, I don't listen to much Simon and Garfunkel, I just happen to know that song. It is quite good. Most of their stuff is.
@Distortion - I line the guitar in through a tremolo pedal, usually, because it's the only pedal I've got. :D And it sounds better than lining stuff in directly, though not by much. Basically, my equipment just isn't that good. :/ Except for my guitar, it's all pretty much dirt cheap. I'll upgrade eventually, though. Though I think the fret noise is nice, in moderation… but yeah, there's probably too much. And thanks for not hating on my music just 'cause it's not your thing.
@Polyman - damn right it is. The album Bookends is downright brilliant. In my top 5. A fantastic duo, though they did some subpar stuff here and there. Like, about half of Bridge Over Troubled Water, and their entire first album except a song or two. :( But I guess that's a better average than most 60s artists.I really like your music, can you upload it so I can have it on my iPod? :D
I could have guessed a few, but Poly beat me.
Also, Pavement is great. Didn't know you listened.Everyone who's anyone listens to Pavement.
