Alt 90's Quiz. Show me how utterly bored you are.

[slipjig3]

So the other day, lbitw posted a music quiz that was great deals of fun to (try to), and very cleverly compiled. Unfortunately, my lizard-brain invariably takes these sorts of trivia quizzes as a two-part challenge: 1) solve this one, and 2) write another one to annoy my friends with. This, then, is your cue to run like the dickens.

I'd recently reassembled my early-to-mid-'90's alternative playlist that I'd originally thrown together during that weird little obsession I weathered last year, so I thought I'd use that as my focus. I freely admit that I made this a rather difficult slog, but I honestly believe that some of you will blow this thing away, and you know who you are. For now, just immerse your nostalgia-mind in that brief, magical time when the radio didn't bite the wax tadpole, and bands like the Flaming Lips and Butthole Surfers could actually finagle mainstream airplay. Seems so far-off now, doesn't it?

PLEASE NOTE: There are 28 questions in all, too many for one poll, so I split them between two. This means two Submit buttons to be clicked: one after #15, and one at the end. Make sure you catch 'em both.

Without further ado:

Purely random. I wrote it at work, on a stack of little sheets of scrap paper, and shuffled them before typing this up. I tried for better distribution, but, well, dem's da breaks, I guess.

MAN I miss the 90s. but maybe I'm still there.

You, too, huh?

I think I bought my first CD-featuring-songs-that-are-played-on-the-actual-radio in over five years today. I miss the days when you could turn on the radio, just like a regular station, and hear songs you really, really liked.

My current radio station isn't *bad* on that count, but neither is it good.

I miss those days, too.

I moved to North Alabama from Seattle. Seattle's not the rock scene any more, but its still pretty good. And a good handful of the DJs still played good music. Not all stations, or even one station all the time, but enough to make me happy.

We moved here last fall. The "alternative" station here plays a bunch of crap, with that Finger Eleven song One Thing in near constant rotation. Every now and then, I find something good, but not much.
