A brief (and hastily concocted :ohdear: ) diversion:


1. Which group took their name from John Peel's nanny? (Trader Horne - Orphiztic)
2. What was remarkable about the director of the world's first 3-D feature film? (He only had one eye - Cappucino & a slice of Quiche)
3. Neil Young wrote a song about Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder. Why? (They were shot dead at Kent State, Ohio - Orphiztic)
4. Andy Partridge, Lene Lovich and Fred Frith all played on which LP? (The Residents' Commercial Album - Mere Pseud)
5. What was so special about the way Dion MacGregor recorded his albums? (He was asleep - Zoot Horn Polo)
6. Who's song namechecked The Clash, The Adverts, Wire, Eater, not to mention ATV? (Vic Reeves - I Remember Punk ROck - Cappucino and a slice of quiche)
7. Which drummer declared: "From the moment you do not want to be a sheep, you are considered a fascist, simply because you want to do what you want to do. I am not a fascist"? (Christian Vander of Magma - Zoot Horn Polo)
8. His grandparents were Swedish circus performers. Who? (Harry Nilsson - Mere Pseud)
9. At what point were the cameras at Michael Hutchence's funeral switched off, and at whose request? (When Nick Cave sang Into My Arms, he requested no cameras - Zoot Horn Polo)

Scores On The Floors:

Orphiztic - 2
Zoot Horn Polo - 4
Cappucino And A Slice Of Quiche - 2
Mere Pseud - 2

7. Neil Peart?

9. When Nick Cave started to sing his song 'Into Your Arms'. At Cave's own request, I presume?

10. Mercury Rev.

7. Ha ha, but no.

9. CORRECT (I'm no fan of either Hutchence or that particular Cave song, but I found this fact rather moving)

4. Miniatures by Morgan Fisher?

No

No, but it sounds like you're on the right lines.

1.Trader Horne

CORRECT

what an odd name, Cornish?

I have also transcribed fully the quotation in 7. - missed a bit out, sorry.

7. Dee Generate.

No, you were closer with your first guess, maybe.

7. Lars Ulrich

No, but ooooh you're on the right side of the Atlantic.

7. Carmine Appice

4. To Commemorate four dead in an anti-war demonstration

No. Earlier, and more easily mistaken for a fascist, possibly.

I'll give you the other half of the point if you name the specific incident.

7. Ed Cassidy!

NO, sorry when I said "right side of the Atlantic" for Lars Ulrich I meant the European side.

Keith Moon.

And that's my final answer.

No, the gentleman in question was unquestionably the bandleader. Worthless Recluse might well get it.

2. I have a vague memory of the director being blind in one eye or something like that, so he was unable to experience the full effect. A bit like Brian Wilson's relationship to stereo.

Thirty five years ago, on May 4, 1970, an anti-war student demonstration at Kent State University, Ohio left four students dead, one paralyzed, and eight others wounded. The demonstration ended when the National Guard fired into the crowd of students. The shootings ended the lives of four students.

CORRECT - Andre De Toth only had one eye.

He fucking won't.
