It's baaaccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Click here to see Previous Dares and Here for Lee's journal for the December dare.

This time it's Anthony and Pmann's turn to be dared.

They will be listening to Celine Dion's similar artists from 15th to 22nd (7am his local time Sunday for Pmann, 9am his local time Sunday for Anthony).

Top artists for the week cut off is 12pm Sunday, so those times above are the starting and ending times for them.

The artists MUST be listened from the similar artist radio, NOT from the computer.

Anthony listening to Celine and her buddies journal
Pmann listening to Celine and her buddies journal
Pmann's double dare journal


Now it wouldn't be fair for me to dare people and not get one back. From 23rd to 29th June (my time), I will be listening to Anthony's dare, then 7th to 13th July (only cause the net is capped until 7th), I will listen to Pmann's dare.

Anthony's dare -
his user radio

Pmann's dare (the following artists similar artist radios) -
Monday: Rebel Meets Rebel
Tuesday: Fugazi
Wednesday: Tom Waits
Thursday: Meat Puppets
Friday: TNPHP tag
Saturday: Deerhoof
Sunday: Hank Williams

I also dared Vince. Why? Because it's fun. His dare is to get a non-David Bowie song up to number 1 on his top overall tracks, thats currently at 20th or lower. He can pick the song and he actually has to listen to it, no cheating. That's some 60 plays in a week, he can do it!!

Got this idea from bexestabueno.

Starting Monday, I'm going to listen to my friends radio stations.

1. Live
2. Heather Nova
3. Toad the Wet Sprocket
4. Leah Andreone
5. Shakira
6. Peter Cetera
7. Within Temptation
8. Ace of Base
9. Evanescence
10. New Order

1. What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
"Glory Of Love"

2. What is your favourite album of 2?
I'd have to say 'South' or 'Siren'. LastFM would says its 'South'.

3. What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
I like alot of Shakira's lyrics. She's like a poet. I especially like "Poem To A Horse".
I'd rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab in New York
Cuz to talk to you is harder work
So what's the point of wasting all my words
If it's just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse

4. How many times have you seen 4 live?
None. Leah don't play live in Aussieland... or I don't think she does.

5. What is your favourite song by 7?
LastFM says its "Stand My Ground". The Ania agrees.

6. What is a good memory you have considering the music of 10?
Whenever I played "Bizarre Love Triangle" my ex played "Blue Monday". Every time!

7. Is there a song by 3 that makes you sad?
Not that I can think of.

8. What is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
So many good Heather lyrics. I can't pick one, I like so many.

9. What is your favourite song by 9?
LastFM says it's "Call Me When You're Sober", then "Lithium". I'd say my favorite would be my third most played track; which is "Give Unto Me".

10. How did you get into 3?
A friend mentioned the album "Fear" that his wife had recommended to him. I got it and liked it, so I got other albums too.

11. What was the first song you heard by 1?
"The Dolphin's Cry". I didn't know who it was by when I first heard it. I didn't know there was a band called Live, I just thought it was played live.

12. What is your favourite song by 4?
Ah Leah. I love so many of her songs. LastFM says it's "A Flaw In The Way You Love Me". I'd have to agree. Although I like "Come Sunday Morning" and "Mother Tongue" too.

14. What is a good memory you have concerning 2?
The wife in #10 told me about Heather. Listening to Heather always reminds me of her. One time she typed out the lyrics to "Blood Of Me" while we were chatting. That girl is awesome.

15. Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
Ah Ace of Base. Not really. They're all dancy songs, they can't make me sad. They make me happy and wanna dance.

16. What is your favourite album of 5?
Shakira, Shakira! According to LastFM it's 'Laundry Service'.

17. What is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung?
What's with these favorite lyric questions? I listen to the stuff I listen to because of the lyrics. I can't pick favorites... they all mean something to me.

18. What is your favourite song of 1?
I don't have a favorite. I love each and every one of them (except those weird ones on 'Songs From Black Mountain'). They are my top artist afterall.

19. What is your favourite song of 10?
"Bizarre Love Traingle". Even LastFM knows that :P

20. How many times have you seen 8 live?
None. I've only ever seen Live live.

21. What is your favourite album of 1?
I love them all. Well I love the last album (Songs From Black Mountain) less than the others. I only like half the songs on that album. The others are just weird.

22. What is a great memory you have considering 9?
Hearing "Bring Me To Life" and thinking: wow her voice is beautiful. Then I had to hear more.

23. What was the first song you heard by 8?
Could have been "Beautiful Life", "The Sign", "Don't Turn Around" or "All That She Wants". I don't remember, it was that long ago.
