chrryblssmninjajust a quick note: the HP6 casting news I posted last time are not true. Sorry, guys. Link via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
subtle_sarcasm.
The following meme sucked out so much of my time last night...Google Images can be addictive...I went up to 30 instead of just 20...
stolen fromblackmoonruby:
Here's how it works:
1. Open your Winamp/iTunes.
2. Put the shuffle-mode on.
3. Find a picture of the first 20 artists. If the same artist comes again, skip.
4. Have your friends guess who the artists are.
I also skipped over random DJs unknown outside the blogosphere and mashups and stuff. It's still pretty messed and somewhat obscure; I think I had more fun finding the pictures than you'll have in guessing them. Still, at least give it a try! If a picture looks interesting, feel free to ask about it, even if you have no idea who it is.
