Pop Quizzz Mkii
Posted by: Rico on 27 October 2000
It's friday, and we need some variety. Let's not get toooooo bogged down in detail (as long as we don't re-write history) and crack some quick-fire questions. Keep it moving! One new question set by supplier of right answer, number questions sequentially please, and use the number with your answer - that'll help us keep track. Here's two 80's questions to start with:
Q1.: Who did the art on the original editions of Speaking in Tongues by Talking Heads?
Q2.: Which fabulous blues legend who passed in a helicopter crash, played guitar on much of Bowie's hyper-commercial smash Let's Dance ?
Rico - musichead
(DB was an art, or maybe design, student, and the original 3 Heads (DB + Chris and Tina) met at art school IIRC, Jerry Harrison joined a little later, don't know if he was an art student or not).
Pete.
I know Jonathan got it right first but he didn't set a question so I will.
Q3 What were the chemical brothers originally called and why did they change their name?
Music is the answer.
It was indeed Robert Rauschenberg, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Phew - I thought this thread was going to be chilled/frozen out completely.
Rico - musichead
They were called The Dust Brothers and changed their name because there was already another Dust Brothers who took legal action.
Q4: Very cool slow-core maestros Bedhead recently covered which very cheesy multi-million selling worldwide #1?
HINT: IIRC The record in question is a favourite of Mike Hanson's wife.
For a bonus point what was the unsual lead instrument used.
Matthew
Q5 Back to the 80s again. Which then unknown female vocalist sang on The The's Infected (hint: Her first album was called Raw Like Sushi)
Music is the answer
[This message was edited by John Channing on FRIDAY 27 October 2000 at 12:32.]
Music is the answer.
So we move to Q7: How will the lowly ones study karate, and what will happen when they have?
Pete.
Matthew
PS The lead riff was played on a touch tone telephone.
you have me stumped.
Rico - musichead
I think that "lowly ones study karate" is part of a song lyric making it a very hard question i.e. it is almost impossible to cheat using the internet. Can you give us a clue or revise the question?
John
Music is the answer.
Making it internet search proof to some extent was something of a design goal, I'll freely admit, but since Animals lyrics came up in the last pop quiz and the Boys in Pink seem to be quite popular here I figured someone would still probably nab it.
Pete.
Pete.
If so here is Q10, What is unusual about the roiginal Duke Ellington 'Live at Newport' release. Subsequent re releases/ re masters have since corrected this.
If so here's Q11:
Who did Simon Richie, sometimes called John Simon Richie, kill (allegedly) and who killed him?
Timo
Q12. What is a ProjeKct FraKctal, and how many of them have recorded?
Pete.

Q12. What is a ProjeKct FraKctal, and how many of them have recorded?
Its Fripp, Belew, Levin and a few others, and whilst I don't know how many they have recorded, you can fit them all in a four CD box...
Pete, is it any good?
Tony.
PS I will await acknowledgement of my victory before setting another obscure Krautrock question.
Belew has only recorded in one ProjeKct, Levin in two, for example, so perhaps a closer definition of "what", though certainly on the right track.
In case that seems like splitting hairs, there are definitely more recorded ProjeKcts than will fit into a 4 CD box (though the 4 CD box "King Crimson: The ProjeKcts" is enormously recommended to anyone who likes artfully constructed noise)
Pete.
FWIW, a ProjeKct is a sub-group of the full King Crimson lineup (Adrian Belew, Bill Bruford, Robert Fripp, Trey Gunn, Pat Mastelotto) playing mainly improv based music. 5 ProjeKcts have recorded:
p1 (Bruford, Fripp, Gunn, Levin): Live at the Jazz Cafe
p2 (Belew, Fripp, Gunn): Space Groove; Live Groove
p3 (Fripp, Gunn, Mastelotto): Masque
p4 (Fripp, Gunn, Levin, Mastelotto): West Coast Live; The Roar of P4
pX (Belew Fripp, Gunn, Mastelotto): Heaven and Earth
Jazz Cafe, Live Groove, Masque and West Coat are the 4 in the ProjeKct box set, all taken from various live club dates. The box is condensed to a single CD "best of", "Deception of the Thrush", though frankly I'd just get the whole lot.
Space Groove is a double CD of studio improvs (Fripp and Gunn were visiting Ade's studio to do some KC writing, Ade was messing about on his new V-drum set in a break, the others joined in to jam and they ended up with a double CD...)
Roar of P4 is a single club date recorded in full, available only through the KC Collectors' Club
Heaven and Earth was recorded alongside the most recent KC album, "ConstruKction of Light" and is thus made up from studio jams, development ideas, alternate takes etc. Only available mail order from DGM (jolly good stuff though, title track appears as a "bonus track" on CoL).

Give us a krautrock teaser then, Tony.
Well as no one got my last one* here's another lovely Krautrock question.
Q13) Who got kicked out of Tangerine Dream for being "too weird", and what seminal band did he help form.
Tony.
*the question was: Who links The Beatles (Revolver) to Ash Ra Temple, the answer was Timothy Leary whose verse was included in 'tomorrow never knows', and who later appeared as vocalist on Ash Ra Temples '7up' album.
I believe the answer is Klaus Schulze, Ash Ra Temple. (Missed part B of the question first time)

If I am right here is my question.
Q14) Name a rap group who have covered a Dead Kennedys song.
The answer to the question I asked on the previous music quiz thread that was never answered was The Wedding Present and The Tindersticks (2 UK indie acts covering there own songs in French).
