Okay. I'm sensing that people might respond to more jam-band friendly questions (I really don't know, just a thought) so this one is geared towards that.

I'm assuming that everyone here knows Charlie Hunter (of Charlie Hunter & Pound for Pound)as well as Roy Hargrove (jazz legend). If you don't, you definitely should.

What 2000 Grammy & Soul Train Award-nominated album did both these jazz greats play on?

Since interest is so low on this one, I'll post the answer and then be back with another question later on tonight. Maybe it'll be more interesting...

Axl Rose's two desert island discs are:

Queen - Queen II - "Because it's perfect"

Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks - "So a passing ship will hear me."

Next question in a little bit.

Sean, I've been meaning to drop you a line.... Possibly out east during the summer. May I'll be in *Spain*, June I'll be graduating and seeing Trey in Vermont, July I might be in Trinidad, but I'll see if I can get some time to make a run for the (eastern) border.

Rheos still rule. Let's hope they win the 'Alternative Album of the Year at the Junos'... Ha! Alternative..... I'm picturing Creed playing Saskatchewan and it's making me laugh.

Before I fly out the door to the 67's game, I must riddle you all with the second installment of my nightly trivia series.

In a recent interview, Axl Rose was asked the 'desert island discs' question. ("If you were stranded on a desert island, what CDs would you bring and why?") He gave two answers. What were they?

Bonus section: What are yours?

Mine are: Rheostatics - Double Live; & Stones - Exile on Main Street (I limit my answers to two, keeping in line with Axl).

Hey there... I've actually chatted with her a bunch of times too. I wish I had a scanner so I could post the picture of her and me, me sporting a white-guy afro.

I recommend that everyone pick up 'Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars'. My favourite Canadian album of the last 5 years....

Ah sweet.. I love the Faces! Ronnie Lane was the reason why I started playing bass (along with Julie from Eric's Trip). All the damn Blur and Nirvana cover bands in Stratford didn't understand 'melody'...

Alright, it seems like this question was poorly worded, so here's the answer I have

Pete Townshend - "This was a number I wrote while I was doing these experiments with tapes on the synthesizer. Among my plans was to take a person out of the audience and feed information - height, weight, autobiographical details - about the person into the synthesizer. The synthesizer would then select notes from the pattern of that person. It would be like translating a person into music. On this particular track I programmed details about the life of Meher Baba and that provided the backing for the number."

Question #2 to come tomorrow. I'll phrase it better.

Jaimoe seems to be a Who fan... he's got the fact that yes, indeed it's a synth, but I'm looking for reasons why the melody is what it is...

who's the intoxicated fool now?

Rheostatics - Story of Harmelodia

Pete Townshend seems to think it's done with synthesizers...

To keep in line with all these contest going on here, I'm gonna try and post an interesting music trivia question every night (but maybe not cuz I keep falling asleep on the couch.) I have no fabulous prizes to offer, but hey, you might learn something, and isn't that the best prize of all?

Here's question #1.

What's the story behind the synthesizer tones at the beginning of The Who's 'Baba O'Reilly'?

ad

If I were to enter this contest (therby keeping my streak alive ) how would I enter? Should I wait til the end of the week and post all 5 here, or email them to graham, or post each song individually as soon as i recognise it?

seems like a really cool contest so far...

Actually, Scottie, at Big Cypress I screamed 'oh bonnaroo' when I kicked the hackey-sack over my head and into my rye, after choking on Oreos because I was laughing to hard.... Ah, memories.

Scottie wins the prize! What's your address again, Captain?

booche - despite having an incredibly precise answer, you get runner up, partly because the prize I'm gonna send out is a copy of the show you sent me a while back...

YAAAY!!! I won the contest!!! In celebration of my triumphant sunday (so far), the first person to post where the name 'Bonnaroo' came from will get a show from me in the mail!

alan (ad)

John Bell from Widespead Panic? Or perhaps this is a savvy promotion and the player is Mark Wilson (and the Way it Is)... I think I'm on to something here.... Although upon further inspection of the green pants I'm led to believe that it is Todd from the Fatties. That is my final answer.

methinks american nomad said he dated her for a while in the past, jumped forward a few years to when they were both around 25, then 'exchanged presents'. unless he was 25 and she was in grade 9... (just kidding nomad...) i think he said the beginning stuff about grade 9, catholic school etc as background...

go back and re-read the post and see for yourself.

charlie and the chocolate factory, the giraffe the pelly and me, etc...

There's an article about David Crosby in the Sun today which contained the following quote:

"There's some good people out there, but there's a lot of fluff. Things like N'Sync and Britney. These people are about as deep as a birdbath."

Such a quality guy, that Crosby.
