Monday Music Madness!

-Results-
By Dingram

Well that went well, I have had one response to the "Quiz" and I had to force her to do it (Not physically, but she really wanted something and this was my compensation for it) and then I've just had too much to do lately so no posts... Anyway, now for the answers!

1) Rammstein - Amerika

2) Enter Shikari - Return To Energiser

3) Jay-Z - 99 Problems

4) The Veronicas - Untouched

5) The Killers - Somebody Told Me

6) U2 - No Line On The Horizon

7) Porcupine Tree - A Smart Kid

Those are the answers (for those who are interested the one response was a correct guess of 99 Problems...).

The next quiz (posted at some point tomorrow) will be Obscure Tracks (be they b-sides or unknown album titles).

Monday Music Madness!

-The Start of a New Era of Blogging-
By Dingram

Welcome, people, to my first in what will hopefully be a long running series of posts, written for Mondays. We all hate Mondays, it's just something which naturally develops in all people, now whilst I am not yet on Monday (it being -1:40 1) I appreciate that a lot of you are, and I'm sure you're all hating it.

Monday Music Madness, then, is designed to either frustrate you with the sudden realisation of your inadequate knowledge of music or enthrall you in a brand new and exciting quiz. There will be rewards and prizes (initially in the form of GBP2 until I decide on something better) and fun facts. These rewards can either be cashed (for as yet unknown gifts) or you can hold on to them until my website is fully developed (i.e. 2015), there will be a use for them then. I will try my best to calculate and I have a spreadsheet ready for all of those points accumulated.

So let's get this party started already!!

The first quiz is a simple, fun, yet still annoying concept. The lyrics in songs are often left up to personal interpretation, but can you guess which songs (and artists) these are by my interpretation of the lyrics (these may not be my interpretations just fun stuff) - There are 5 GBP up for grab for each correct answer.

1) This band are situated in the USA, with coca-cola and wonderbra...but remember, this is not a lovesong!

2) This band are playing quasar and have run out of lives and need to get more.

3) This gentleman has a multitude of issues, but he manages to keep his women in check.

4) This duo just need some human interaction, as they are feeling a little lonely.

5) This guy has been informed that you were dating a man who could be a woman he's previously had relations with.

6) Look into the distance, there aren't and 1 Dimensional objects there...

7) Post-apocalyptic boy, left all alone. Aliens appear to discover what happened.

Answers either in the comments section (below), it is now unlocked for anyone to post in with or without a Blogspot account, on the FB status promoting this entry, via direct message (twitter), e-mail, or on a Post-Card3. Answers will be revealed on Friday.


Did You Know?

On Lateralus, by Tool, the title track (Lateralus) incorporates the Fibonacci sequence? See here for more details

That's it for todays Monday Music Madness. I have just received an e-mail from Fernando De La Queso, which is probably his football report, so I'll read that and see about posting it in the next couple of days, but for now thanks for reading.

1 If you are still not caught up on 1337 time then a) Shame on you, and b) let me elaborate, due to my job and sleep pattern I needed a new time zone, and seeing as 13:37 seemed to be roughly midnight to me I decided that all of my timings are now either + or - 1337 if it is + & - 12 then it is Anti-1337 (or midday).
2 GBP is Geek-Boy Points, which I have just realised doesn't work now that I have a new poster called Geek-Boy, see I knew we'd end up fighting over this whole anonymity thing.

Daily Dose of Dingram

Ladies and Germs the time has come, once again, for some reorganisation development on this blog. So, to assist me with this transition (hopefully to my own hosted website *crosses fingers that he can get off his arse and do something about it*) let me introduce to two new, hopefully regular, contributors to the Geek-Boy @ Blogspot. I will, from now on, be assuming the moniker of Dingram. One of the new contributor wishes to remain anonymous so you will only see them in the guise of Geek-Boy (2.0). Fernando De La Queso completes the trio.

Geek-Boy (TWO-POINT-OH!!) is a living technological guru and will post mainly about Games and Gaming, but will also cover cool techy stuff and new developments in the industry(ies) He is currently writing his first post and I have asked him to deliver his first draft on Monday so expect a post on Wednesday which will essentially be him introducing himself and, I think, informing you of his top 10 PC Games ever, though that may change.

Fernando De La Queso (FDLQ from this point in this post) is our resident Football pundit, he will be analysing a few games a week and upcoming games, plus all of the developments up to the end of the transfer window. I have asked him nicely to start off with MK Dons and Newcastle games, which he promptly laughed at and said he would cover "whatever games he fancied". FDLQ is an Arsenal fan and is well known in the world of Football Manager (see here) and I look forward to hearing his insight, whenever he turns in his post.

So I think that's that, oh wait, no it's not...

I am going to be introducing new sections to this blog (not physically but new "weekly events") which I hope will encourage user input, the first of these is the Monday Music Mayhem section, rather surprisingly, expected on Monday, this is co-hosted with Facebook and Twitter (though not affiliated with in any way) and will be initially quiz based. Other sections will be announced as and when I see fit.

That now is that, thanks and don't be too harsh on the new posters!!
