Mostly impossible music quiz #1 answers
Sep. 15th, 2006 12:14 pmThose answers!
1.) Who composed the start-up music for Windows 95?
Brian Eno
Robert Fripp
Mike Kennally
Alan White
A: Brian Eno! Most of you got this right. (waves to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
innowen and rosenthol7). (Source)
2.) Who will compose the start-up music for Windows Vista (nee' "Longhorn")?
Brian Eno
Robert Fripp
Mike Kennally
Alan White
A: The King of Crimson, Robert Fripp. This stumped everyone.
There's even a video of him live in the studio recording it from scratch. The entire 10 minute-piece sounds like his solo ambient pieces. He's recorded at least three different sonic pallettes for this project. As far as I know, certain snippets will be dissected to make all the appropriate Windows sounds (startup, shutdown, etc...)
3.) Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes, ________ has gone into hiding?"
Mary
Veronica
Casey Jones
Lucy
A: Veronica. You know the Elvis Costello/PaulMcCartnety song about a woman in a hospital? (Lyrics) (iTunes) I was shocked only one of you got it. It went to #1 in summer 1989.dryad271 got it.
4.) Ringo Starr, prepared to be in what occupation if the whole drummer thing didn't work out?
Carpenter
Oenologist
Hairdresser
Dog Trainer
A: Hairdresser. Really. He has since changed his mind.dryad271 scores again!
Rob Brezney was also a
lead singer of a rock band
computer programmer
car salesman
landscaper
A: You know, ya could've gone to his website and figured it out. He was a rockstar, and a very good one to boot of the equally very good World Entertainment War. He shared lead duties with current Jefferson Airplane lead singer Darby Gould. Mp3's here. I recommend starting with "Kick Your Own Ass", and "Dark Ages". I personally like the whole thing. kudos towolfieboy for giving the right answer.
The Great Kat, would have been Dryad again, but alas, she does not shred like Katherine Thomas does. Watch her demolish "Flight of the Bumblebee".
I'll have another impossible quiz. Later on. If you feel up to it.
