This week - Didn't know that!I Did Not Know That
Welcome to this weeks History of Modern Music. this week is all about being the "know-it-all" of music. The game in which we see how much of a trivia geek you are, ready? lets do this.
So, which spacey female songwriter had a satellite named after her? Tori Amos. "tori" is a 12 kilagram experimental satellite that is designed for exploring the complications of orbital mechanics. In honor of hte supposed insipiration Amos offered they decided to name the satellite after her.
Liam gallagher; according to a british tablod Gallagher has a hereditary condition know as "polydactal". said newspaper is reported to have pictures of Liam's feet, and if you look carefully you can count six toes on each foot. since this is hereditary Noel probably has it too, along with Liam's son Lennon.
Alright, though i'd love to stay on this topic lets move quickly past it. "donna's Domain" is a website, more or less providing a quide to the cock size and sexual ability of dozens of rock stars. For example, Art Alexakis of Everclear gets rave reviews in a couple of categories. Other critiques are directed at Tony Kanal of No Doubt, Sully from Godsmack and Dino from Fear Factory . Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 is a hit with the ladies. Marilyn Manson, however, is described as being "lame". Mark McGrath is called a "real slut", Goldfinger guitarist Charlie Paulson apparently "lacks rhtyhm". Anyone from "Orgy" here? Yes, guitarist Amir Derahk is "average," although he as some specific kinks, he's also a good kisser but has "the personality of a corpse". And finally, Trent Reznor gets an 8 out of 10...something about doing stuff "like an animal".
By the way, if you'd like to look through Donna's Domain, the address is
www.metal-sludge.com/longshort.htm. that should get rex through a bag or two of socks.
alrighty...moving on quickly. "punk rock", its roots go all the way back to the late 50's and early 60's. but the real explosion of punk rock really didn't happen til Iggy Pop's hand in it in the 70's. "punk" came from many sources, one being a New York fanzine. But of course, there's also those Goverment conspiracy theorists. those fucknuts say that "punk" comes from a supposed code name for a nerve gas t hat the goverment was developing in the late 60's. not only would this nerve gas kill you but it'd make all your hair fall out leaving a little strip down teh middle of your head. And not only would it fall out but it would change colours. Obviously, the government tried to keep this all a secret, so "punk" victims of these clandestine experiments were shipped off to England.
well these "expairments" wandering the streets of london. appearing to be drunk and stoned off their ases were vomiting in the streets. well, there were oddly enough, people attracted to this funky colour hair thing. so they followed suit. and when asked "why?" they plainly stated "punk". and a new movement was born.
funny thing that, but there's really morons who believe that kinda thing.
well, i thought in all my music reading i came across every "touring sucks" story known to man. but i was wrong. in 1999 the band "Garbage" was touring. they had just finished a show in Tallinn Estonia and were heading to St. Petersburg Russia. Well, it seems that Russia has a law against the importation of foreign garbage. the band was held up at the border for several hours because of the labeling "Garbage" on all of their roadcases.
Alrighty, onto Moby. His play album has 17 tracks on it. all of which have been sold off to tv shows, movies and commericals. He has done this with most of his music which brings the attention of critics who say he'll whore out his art for anything. They claim Moby probably hasn't seen a endorsent deal he hasn't liked. from cars to booze Moby will shill his music for any form of jollies.
Anything? Not quite. Moby eventually discovered a product that he wouldn't endorse. Knorr is a food manufacturer. They wanted to use a song called "find my baby" from Play for a commercial for their new bernaise sauce, but Moby said "no". Why? Because Moby is a strict vegetarian, and he knows that Bernaise sauce is often used on steak. In Moby's world, steak is EVIL!!
Moby, a manof reason and one who has an obsession with whipping out his schlong and touching peole at celebrity parties. "It is such a good game and I encourage everybody to play it at some point in their life because it's one of the funniest things you can ever do,".
Madonna, Drew Barrymore, Kate Moss, Winona Rider and Dennis Rodman were apparently among the victims. But Moby has since disavowed all this, saying that he said this as a joke. But, on a related note, if you know where to look, you can find Moby appearing in a weird independent film where he dances with some dildos strapped to his head...
Ture or false. Radiohead's lyrics were made into a play? True - and their not happy about it. a freelance journalist, playwrite and who the hell else know, Dean Testerman titled his play in L.A. "untitled Radiohead Project."
During an audition for an unrelated play, the director asked him to deliver a monologue, to which Testerman replied with a recitation of Radiohead's "Creep". That gave him the idea for the play, which centres on a young man named "Thom". Thom was in a car crash, and while he's in a coma, he subconsicously examines his life. All the dialogue in The Untitled Radiohead Project is taken from Radiohead songs: "Creep," "Let Down," "Airbag" and "Subterranean Homesick Alien"....
So, why do you ask that you've never heard of htis play? 'cause there's a thing called copywrite lawyer, someone might want to educate Mr. Testerman on this.
Now, we can't talk weird without talking about Good Kurt Coban.
Gemma Franks works at a place in Esexx England, yes its a bar. Gemma states that as she was working on her new compaq notebook a image of Kurt Cobain appears and says "give us a kiss, love".
At first, Gemma thought this might be some kind of virus-a joke planted on the hard drive by someone. But since Kurt didn't appear the next time she switched on the notebook, Gemma thought no more of it… until a week later when kurt appeared again. "Give us a kiss, love," he said, and then "help me". According to the story, Gemma, thoroughly freaked out by now, gave in and gave the computer a big smooch, at which point the digital apparition of Kurt said "mmmm...you're a good kisser" before fading away.
Gemma took her notebook for a full virus scan, the shoppe found nothing. so, Gemma takes things to a different level and calls in a paranormalist who had one of those exorcisms, holy water, candles, the whole bit.
well, Kurt no longer appears at Gemma's computer. But grant the thing doesn't boot up anymore, i wonder if that has anything to do with the holy water and a keyboard....
Jerry cantrell of "alice I Chains" went hunting for a weekend in November. He told his bandmates he'd be back for their show on december 1st. Well I suppose Jerry honestly thought that there was 31 days in november because he returned from his trip on the 2nd, thinking it was the 1st. this explains the christmas album title "got Jerry his own pocket calendar.".
