Pop Quizzz Mkii

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
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).
Pete.
Where Monster? Lance, Lance, Lance...

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).
Kevin.
Yes you are right, and the answer to your question is Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.
Q15) Which American beat poet did an album with Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy?
Tony.

Timo (thinking up the next question in case I'm right)
cheers

You gave us enough clues, we're just a bit slow.
Q17: Literary connections - easy
I can think of two novels named after songs from Brit pop/rock bands.
Name the novel/song titles and the authors of the novels (Rico need not apply coz I told him this last week).
