April 8 Recap

Here are your winners from the Easter Sunday Music Trivia Night.


Here's Glenn's recap:

For the first time since we started Music Trivia Night, the No Wave Hookers, who were noticeably short-handed, didn't even place in the Top Three; although taking the top spot this week was another familiar name, Team Sparks (back to full strength, after barely participating the week before.) Speaking of 'bearly' participating, The Spirit Animals, who had been hibernating all winter, clawed their way to second place, edging out perennial Top Three team Geoff Leopard.

The trivia this week was old-school style, with most of the questions provided by Phil and Glenn (although Glenn did collaborate with Alyson West on the movie round.) Here's what you missed:

1. Question Round - Music-Related Movies - Glenn & Alyson
2. Visual Round - Brothers & Sisters - Glenn
3. Audio Round - Classic Soul - Phil
4. Question Round - Music-Related Books - Glenn

Here are some sample questions:
1. In 1984, Tom Hulce was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of this musician?
2. Kyle MacLachlan, better known for his roles on Twin Peaks and Sex in the City, portrayed which member of The Doors in the 1991 Oliver Stone movie?
3. "Please Kill Me", a book about the CBGB's scene of the 70's was written by Legs McNeil, who was co-founder of which fanzine from that time-period?
4. "Revolution in the Head" is an exhaustive look at the recording process of each Beatles song. A similar booked titled "Songs that Saved Your Life" chronicles the work of what 80's act?

The visual round included photos of Sisters of Mercy and Big Brother & the Holding Company among other real brother/sister acts such as the Neville Brothers and the Pointer Sisters.

Some of the samples in the audio round were:
"Float On" by The Floaters
"Fa-Fa-Fa-fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)" by Otis Redding
"Move On Up" by Curtis Mayfield


In addition, Phil prepared the background theme, which was songs sung by Jewish performers. The theme included songs by solo artists like Leonard Cohen, Barbra Streisand, and Sammy Davis Jr., as well as bands like Yo La Tengo (Ira Kaplan) and The Ramones (Joey Ramone).

We'll be doing it all again on Sunday, April 22nd, where we're pretty sure we'll have our first round dedicated specifically to indie-rock (which we always get asked about.) So, come out...Glenn
