I am this great unstable mass of blood and foam
Detecting a pattern here? As always, good luck!
#1 – Supertramp, “The Logical Song”
#3 – The Doors, “Break on Through (To the Other Side)”
#6 – Bob Dylan, “Under the Red Sky”
#7 – Peter Gabriel, “In Your Eyes”
#8 – The Kinks, “Don’t Forget to Dance”
#9 – White Stripes, “Fell in Love With a Girl”
I sincerely hope #2 is the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
Why do I never know these??
#2 is the Squirrel Nut Zippers. But which song…?
I usually have trouble with these on other people’s blogs, even when it turns out later that I do know the songs.
“Put a Lid On It”, of course.
I just had this moment of terror that you were listening to Cher this week.
No, there’s no Cher on my iPod.
Well, I knew 1, 3 and 7 right off, but of course at the time Eric B was busy posting the answers to those and a few others, I was slaving away in a hot lab.

Well, maybe if you used a cool terrier instead, you wouldn’t have that problem.
