Longtime friend and first-time correct guesser LeSombre, the fluffy pancake fiend, correctly guessed last week’s #MiniMusicMonday. Rejoice! 

For the second time, my old HS friend, Stacey (@anyankgoldilocks on IG) nailed the #minimusicmonday challenge photo with Janet Jackson from the album janet.

Exactly the person I expected to get last week’s #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo was the one who got it. @EmpressEve with KISS Rock and Roll Over. You’d almost swear I was gearing that one just for her.

Sooooo close! I had correct guesses in three out of four post locations for last week’s #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo. Twitter... check. Instagram... check. Blog... check. Facebook... nope. D’oh! Facebook, always crushing dreams. 

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised — and yet I am — that no one got last week’s #MiniMusicMonday. Oh well. 

As I expected, no one got the album title from last week's #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo. Like I said, it wasn't a studio album so no expectations.

My old high school friend Stacey nailed last week’s #MiniMusicMonday with Meat Puppets. 

It may have taken a little poking and prodding, but, eventually someone got last week's #MiniMusicMonday. It was Ace Frehley, he of KISS fame, on one of his solo albums.

As I had hoped, last week’s #MiniMusicMonday was guessed by Bill C, the guy who gave me the tape in question. Woo!

A ton of people got last week’s #MiniMusicMonday. I shouldn’t be surprised. As one person said on Facebook, the earring was a dead giveaway. 

Uh oh, another #MiniMusicMonday with no guesses. Not even wrong ones. Not even jokey ones (what gives, Steve??). And the person who gave me this tape clearly didn't get it either. I am so sad.

Buckle up. Got a long explanation of last week's #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo for ya, if you didn't already read it on social media.

As I was getting ready for this post, I was suddenly fraught with worry that nobody had guessed it correctly. Actually, aside from a couple jokey guesses by Steve B., I was worried that nobody had guessed at all. So I poked around at the multiple places where this gets posted and, phew, discovered someone did guess and correctly at that!

Christa chimed in with the only correct guess on last week’s #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo. 

I had so so many responses so quickly to last week’s #MiniMusicMonday. The first to give partial guesses were Brandon (IG) and Tish (FB) but the first to give full answers were Marty (IG) and Christa (FB).

I was happy with the turnout on last week’s #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo. Two people got it within 15 seconds of each other. Yes... seconds! But the winner was Stephen H. Sorry, Amanda. 

And, just like that, half the year is gone in a flash! Damn. 

While it was another slim week in terms of guesses, we did get a winner! And that winner was my friend Eric R. who I had hoped would get this right if for no other reason than he’s the guy that gave me the tape in question.

My attempt to thwart gaming my game only thwarted attempts at guessing the correct album. No guesses! And it was Prince! 

When Steve B nailed #MiniMusicMonday again, I started to suspect something may be up.

I swear it wasn’t planned. How could I? I knew nothing of the shitstorm that would rain on the world in the days after I posted last week’s #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo. It’s a complete coincidence that I chose...

Got a lot of really close and partial guesses on last week’s #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo. But my buddy Stephen Hill (@gundarkhunter) got it correctest and fasterest!

That’s a kid of twenties in that title, ain’t it, folks? Almost halfway through the year. Unfortunately, though, last week’s challenge photo didn’t garner any guesses. 

Nicole L. nailed last week's #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo with her guess of Nirvana's In Utero. There were others who guessed it, but she did it first and best. 

Christa returns with the correct guess on last week’s #MiniMusicMonday of Mariah Carey. Woo! She’s now tied with her hubby, Steve... I think. Y’all are gonna make me count them up, aren’t you?

Congrats to Holly W (FB) on her first acing of a #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo!

My old friend Christa nailed last week’s challenge photo. This, combined with her previous two correct guesses puts her in top contention so far this year.

Another week, another no-guess #MiniMusicMonday. It makes me sad but I’m worrying that maybe this has overstayed its welcome. Perhaps I wrap up this year and then find a new photo challenge. 

As I stated on Instagram, sadly, but not surprisingly, no one got last week’s #MiniMusicMonday. It’s not a well-known album by my gents at The Urge Overkill. 

Kevin Spencer nailed last week's #MiniMusicMonday challenge photo rather quickly. I was proud of him.

Man oh man, Christa was all over last week’s #MiniMusicMonday like white on rice. And much like her husband, Steve, she posted on both Instagram and Facebook to make sure I knew she was first. 

My buddy Kevin Spencer was quickest to the draw on last week’s #MiniMusicMonday with an A-ha album I picked up a little more than a week ago. Scoundrel Days... damn fine album. 

It was another of my favorite types of photo finishes on #MiniMusicMonday. Eric edged out Stephen by a hair with Van Halen 5150.

I love when two people chime in with the correct answer to #MiniMusicMonday in short order. Means y’all enjoy and get this little game of mine. My buddy Eric edged out Marty by about an hour. 

My buddy Stephen H. nailed last week’s #MiniMusicMonday with little to no effort.
