are there lovely prizes? : >

Yes there are. But they are imaginary.

: P (not even a year's supply of Rice-a-roni?)

XXX, that's right.

I'll YSI you a case, amber... (and some Turtle Wax)

Okay, starting now.

And some of you people better tune in, even if you mute it. I worked hard on this, dammit!

..two songs in, I'm stumped.

*feels bad in a "but I was so GOOD at Name That Tune!" kind of way*

First three songs:

Dar Williams - I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono
Lucinda Williams - 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten
Lyle Lovett - That's Right (You're Not from Texas)

They're all cool songs? Yup, that's my guess.

Richat, are you trying to butter me up?

I FIGURED IT OUT AND NOW I AM DANCING AND JUMPING AND TWIRLING AND NOT TELLING YOU NEENER NEENER NEENER!

4. The Best Of Country Vol 3 - Luckenback Texas
5. Amy Rigby - Dancing with Joey Ramone
6. Todd Snider - Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues
7. Dublin Blues - Guy Clark with Peter Rowan
8. Tom Waits - I Wish I Was in New Orleans

9. John Hiatt - Pirate Radio
10. Mary Gauthier - Wheel Inside the Wheel
11. Girlyman - I Know Where You Are

And to wrap up...

12. Aimee Mann - It Takes All Kinds
13. The Mountain Goats - Love Love Love
14. Down By Law / Pseudo Heroes - Sweet Home Alabama - Down By Law
15. Lucinda Williams - Metal Firecracker
16. Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Feel Lucky


Wolfdaddy technically won, but he's since been disqualified for excessive celebration. Anyone else want to venture a guess?

WHAT WHAT WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

*resumes dancing and twirling and not telling*

Songs about wishing you were somewhere other than you are, or with someone other than those whom you are with?

Songs by people who've never been in my kitchen?\\

Cool Songs?

Nope, nope, yep.

I can honestly say, none of those artists have been in my kitchen.

I'm sorry, but we need proof.

If no one else is going to guess, we oughta let WolfDaddy share his victory.

I am not sure how to prove it. Would the absence of any memorable photos of Tom Waits in my kitchen suffice? If so, here:

/thrusts empty hands at mudpuppie.

I have permission to gloat! Thus the answer is:

"What are songs that directly mention another singer or singers by name?"

HAH HAH SUCK IT LUSERS!

*resumes dancing, jumping, twirling, enjoying imaginary Rice-a-Roni*
