Welcome to this week’s Music Quiz, the 11th in this series. Congratulations to Rich of for his perfect score last week. This week a bunch of Beatles’ song titles have been translated through Babelfish with some unusual results – can…
Can you name the famous musician whose initials are starred in the clue? I like this quiz as it covers a lot of musical ground. I scored a 19, but I’m sure someone here can get to the full…
I’ve been covering Pavement’s albums over the last week or so – revisiting their five albums has helped me to appreciate them more, and how full of ideas their albums are. They’re definitely a strong contender for the best guitar…
I know this is usually a music blog, and apologies to my regular readers for the change in topic today – this is just a one-off. I’m hardly qualified to be a political commentator but wanted to vent a little.…
Can you link the song titles to the literal band images? It’s relatively straightforward, but I thought it was a well executed and fun idea. I scored 100%, but you can try and beat my time of 1 minute…
Right now, I have created 63 artist pages on this blog, and 59 of them are white. Two of the four non-white artists covered are relatively obscure New Zealand acts. And here’s a random selection of ten songs that my…
Congratulations to last week’s perfect scores: http://kamertunesblog.wordpress.com, http://keepsmealive.wordpress.com, and This week we have some funny graphs to solve. Can you name the musical artists who are represented by the graphs? I scored 17/20 – can you better me?
I’ve been covering Sting on this website this week: I generally find that his solo career is under-rated – while The Police have great singles, their albums all have filler, and the terrific 1992 Greatest Hits is most of…
Can you recognise these badly drawn album covers? I don’t normally share quizzes where I score 100%, because I like my readers to have the chance to beat me, but this one was too endearing not to share. What…
I’ve had a lot of time for writing recently; some leave and then a work trip with long haul flights and time in airport lounges. Lately, I’ve made several pages for acts with only a handful of albums to their name.…
Can you allocate these songs to 4 disparate artists? I’m down with ABBA’s, but a little shaky on Metallica and almost completely ignorant of Garth Brooks’ hits. Sometimes it’s obvious which song belongs to which genre. Can you beat…
Each May is New Zealand Music Month. It’s a promotion that has outstayed its welcome, especially as New Zealand has outgrown the cultural cringe for homegrown music that was evident in the 1960s and 1970s. But, perhaps not coincidentally, I’ve…
