News: Q Quiz Book and Edward Elgar Turns 150
Sunday, March 30th, 2008Killing An Arab
Q Quiz Book
This was a free book that came with last month's Q Magazine.
There's special categories for Oasis and Nirvana, etc, but I'm going to
pick selections from their music genre category. I picked these
questions because I didn't know the answer to them (well except for the
Motley Crue question).
SELECTIONS FROM THE ESSENTIAL Q QUIZ BOOK
INDIE: Upon which book is The Cure's Killing an Arab based?
METAL: What is the name of Motley Crue's autobiography?
HIP HOP: What did the BIG in Notorious BIG stand for?
PUNK: Who was replaced in the Sex Pistols by Sid Vicious?
POP: Name two members of Erasure.
If you need these questions answered, let me know, I'll do the research and post it later
Edward Elgar - Pomp and Circumstance (5 marches for orchestra Op. 39) - No. 01
Excerpt from NPR: Edward Elgar, Britain's Musical Icon, Turns 150 (written by Tom Huizenga):
This
year-June 2nd to be exact-there's another such birthday. Edward Elgar
was born 150 years ago in the west of England. He's no Mozart. In fact,
he doesn't even come close to a top-10 list of all-time great
composers, and there won't be much hoopla over the anniversary in this
country.After
all, over here, we know Elgar almost exclusively for writing a little
marching tune that gets trotted out about this time of year when
students graduate. It's from Elgar's “Pomp and Circumstance March No.
1.”
