Continuous Music Quiz

[hakey]

Oh, oh, oh, AND one more pedantry point for me, because the answer to 07 isn't Song To The Siren, it's Song To The Siren by This Mortal Coil. And another nine pedantry points to me because all Frank's answers 1-9 should have included a 0.

So, hakey - the Dave Brubeck Quartet recorded Go to Sleep, did they?

No they recorded 'Take Five', which was in 5/4 time. I had also mentioned that 'some jazz would be nice' and 'out of time', an allusion to the The Dave Brubeck Quartet Jazz album 'Out of Time' in which the track Take Five appeared.

Yes, I mistakenly thought/misremembered that 'Money' was in 5/4 - mea culp... kind of fuxored up the theme of the question, but the idea that Radiohead's 'Go to sleep' or whatever it is, was my intended answer for one of the clues, and that I mistakenly thought that they were quartet, therefore I'm a complete dumb ass, is bollox.

Admittedly, I may well be a complete dumb ass, but that can not be inferred solely from that particular misreading of events.

I thought number 6 was Rufus Wainwright up until the point that you said they'd had a couple of kids

Wait... Rufus and Jeff were an item?

No, never mind. I don't care. Must sleep.

[hakey]

I only got as far as House/Teardrop/Liz Fraser and I wasn't even sure if they were right.

I'd be interested to know how both of you got even this far....

I worked backwards from House - US TV Series, English actor in the titular role etc...

[The Fex]

I'm confused....

A quartet's suggestion to rest a while.

So, Take Five is a suggestion to rest a while?

No, never mind. I don't care. I'm going with Radiohead's suggestion.

[hakey]

Yes, in context it can mean take a break, take 5 minutes!

Take Five Originally, a short five minute break.
Ex: OK everyone. Let's "take five."

Blank Frank - over to you...

[Blank_Frank]

Wait... Rufus and Jeff were an item?

No, I just got misled by some random comments on teh interweb about Jeff possibly being gay...

Right - speed round!

What band apparently suffered from melophobia, nyctophobia and glossolalia?

[hakey]

Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden?

Did they do something along the lines of 'speaking in tongues'?

I don't know how, or if, that fits with the other part of the clue.

I don't know how, or if, that fits with the other part of the clue.

Nope, not Iron Maiden. Two of the clues are straightforward, the other's a bit sneaky.

[The Fex]

Cannot sleep, clown will eat me.

What band apparently suffered from melophobia, nyctophobia and glossolalia?

Talking Heads.

Albums called Fear of Music, Remain in Light, Speaking in Tongues.

[Blank_Frank]

Thank you. Now I can sleep. Good luck with the a/c guys!

[The Fex]

I like to come here to drink coffee and read the newspaper.
You might infer that my guardians abuse me.
This is obviously a meat market.
I'd make sure that you remember me.
Finding things in the dark.
Being alone.
A goddess sings.
Words are inadequate.
About a lover.
I've spent my life in the dark, now I want to ride.
Back where we started, but I have nothing further to say.

[Meffy]

We feed the baby garlic so we can find him in the dark
And a boy's best friend is his mother.

(Irrelevant but it seemed fitting.)
