Tru 8)

I just made this. Obviously, the samples will be shorter than the other challenges, otherwise it would be too easy. They range from 0:12 to 1:15.
There are 25. Some might be easy, others pretty damn hard. I’ll edit this post with the correct answers.

I even did some gensui fade in/fade out with audacity 8)

Begin, u fuckahz 8)

SHIT i can’t believe i missed R.E.M., Smashing Pumpkins, Sufjan Stevens, Radiohead, NIN, and a Silver Mt. Zion

I went through hardcore phases of each one of those groups at some point in my life.

13

Yeah, there are at least 10 there that I should know. I guess those short samples just aren’t enough for me.

14

exactly

15

haha tru I’ll try to make a new one with less samples that are a bit longer.

The thing is I can’t really include parts with vocals usually, unless the band/artist is not very well known; like on the Smashing Pumpkins track, right after the sample I used, Corgan comes in and you know it’s him instantly ('cause of that fucked up voice of his 8))
