is the second one Sterling?

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Friday, 15 November 2002 14:31 (twenty-three years ago)

'a recent list' is Mitch? (pretty sure)
Amelia Smedley is Tom? (guess)

― Jeff W (Jeff W), Friday, 15 November 2002 14:32 (twenty-three years ago)

So I should have done it in this thread instead, then? That way it would have been guessed even quicker...

Oh, and all the answers are actually Graham. I've become convinced he's the only one of you that actually exists (aside from Dom seen as how I've met him and that) and is solely running this board to confuddle my head.

― Mr Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 15 November 2002 14:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I agree that 'a recent list' is probably Mitch.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 15 November 2002 14:42 (twenty-three years ago)

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 15 November 2002 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 15 November 2002 14:56 (twenty-three years ago)

ILE's new IP searchability takes all of the fun out of this (for mods).

― Graham (graham), Friday, 15 November 2002 14:59 (twenty-three years ago)

the 'iwouldn'tbeconfident' one is Michael Wells I think.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 15 November 2002 15:02 (twenty-three years ago)

of course the meatloaf one was mine! I have great taste, what else can I say?

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 15 November 2002 15:02 (twenty-three years ago)

That last one isn't Dr C, is it?

Now that he has reappeared, I am going to take yet another guess and say that ten songs=miccio.

― k/l (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

matos? miccio?
you're just being humorous now, aren't you?

if you want to know the secret of who i am
take heed of the hints in my musical jam
the first two are electrodance, you see
the better to express the neon in me
the next two are oldies, as you can tell
in my rosy past these songs do dwell
the two after that are soft and sweet
they're a part of my soft rock elite
the proceeding two bring on the dance again
they represent the modern in my musical ten
the final two are songs you have to find
after playing them you will know my kind
i did not seek the obvious for my slate
but all of its contents are legitimate
these are ten songs i do appreciate
this mystery you can now well elucidate

and you're a very silly boy. (insert grin here.)

― ten songs = ten loves, Thursday, 6 October 2005 00:48 (twenty years ago)

It's Ian Reise-Moraine, isn't it?

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 10:02 (twenty years ago)

it isn't, though we share some of the same musical interests. ok, final clue:

i might be better known for little things
idle chatter and all that that brings
but even then i still have my musical thirst
i must strive to slake or i will burst
my musical loves are not oft acclaimed
and my proclamations are not well famed
but i love the music, oh yes i do
and so we come to the end of my clue.

do you know the answer now?
or will i have to uncloak myself?

― ten songs = ten loves, Thursday, 6 October 2005 11:39 (twenty years ago)

donutbitch?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 6 October 2005 12:01 (twenty years ago)

do you know the answer now?
or will i have to uncloak myself?
uncloak yourself? Luna?

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 12:31 (twenty years ago)

donutbitch? ha.
luna? much, much closer. she and i have a thread series in common.

ok, i'll rescind my "final clue" clause for one more:

i should have put another song up by the mood, i.e. "passion in dark rooms". why? because it sounds more like spandau ballet. but i still love "doing the munich thing", which is kinda visage-y. i know this doesn't rhyme, but i have not the presence of mind at the moment to do that.

there. last clue ever here. if you don't get it now, you'll never get it.
