There's no straightforward way of playing music on this blog.
But you can play videos, and windows does come with a built in movie maker.
So...
Take 30 songs, and record exactly one thousand miliseconds from each one. (I used Creative Wave Studio, a basic sound recording program that came with my soundcard.) Then stick them all together to make a chaotic 30 second sound collage, and put this, along with a simple static picture into the movie maker and voila! You have a quiz!
These are all culled from my itunes. No artist features more than once.

Go on then, I'll have a stab.
I'm not sure if each 1000 millisecond chunk is contiguous. I suspect not but if so, no. 21 is The Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man" and no.5 might be The Stranglers' "Strange Little Girl". There's also some BB in there but I haven't worked it out yet.
Correct on both counts, Peter.
And yes, there is a Billy Bragg fragment in there somewhere.
And there's more,
No. 9 is Billy Bragg and "Levi Stubb's Tears" whilst no. 17 is possibly Portishead with "Glory Box"
No.14 is XTC's "senses working overtime" methinks
Blimey! Abslutely right once again!
A couple of hundred brownie points are winging their way over to Thailand as you read this!
Will you be dishing out the answers at any point? I think I've reached my limit. There may be some Floyd towards the end.
You've done better than seven billion other people. Yes I will post all the answers eventually. Presumably, you'll have read the post above by now. I wonder if that will yield any more answers to you?
