...I like how the only ones I know are the bandom songs and the one that was on the first OC soundtrack. Fandom FTW, I guess? Oh man, now I'm crazy nostalgic for the OC. :(((

(Not guessing anything, because the four I know have already been guessed.)

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee, like half the things i know in general i know because of fandom!

i miss the oc, too! :(

[hearthisvoice.livejournal.com]

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

it is "the runner" and i gave it to you because no one else even got the artist. :P

[pink-ananas.livejournal.com]

the ONE song I get (besides blake) and someone else already has it (#24)? I'm always late for these.

and is it wrong that I don't know half of the songs and/or artists? and by half, more like.. almost all? I'm pathetic, I know.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]
