important for/from music history.. i'll write a test this (or so they told me) thursday and i have no idea what is it going to look like. all i know is that it's going to be about alternative music from jazz to electronica, but im pretty sure mostly about rock/punk rock/folk type of music..roughly from 70's on. most likely about artists and albums in this field, so please set as many relevant questions so i can get an idea of what it might look like, because im terrible with memorizing album titles or even songs.. thanks for your time :) |

I don't understand this question for starters. You writing a test? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CT says hi |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
john coltrane - when did he died ? john cage - when did he recorded his first album ? terry rilley - is he a violin player by a proffesion ? stanko - is it a musical term ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CT can go away and die. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so hows it goin in el Gestapo? have you finally conquered the world via *insert modem noise* --CT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it's a part of an radio audition so that's what i imagine they'll put in the test (could be something totally different, i guess i'll see on thursday). perhaps you thought i'll be the one asking questons, but the thing is i'll be the one answering them :) opto, thanks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i thought you might know already some answers on those Q's provided by me. do not treat them too seriously ( though they could be real ), but i would expect something in this manner. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know answers to those questions, that is why i need as many as possible :) (i guess i'll be guessing a lot when the day comes) it's sort of what i expect it to look like too.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
u will def. get asked this question: WHAT ARE TEH BEST 10 AUTECHRE TRACKS?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you at least familiar with the terms / surnames ? coz if youre not familiar with those i gave you, the test will be hardhardhard for ya. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i doubt it..i don't think they played 10 autechre songs in whole year on that radio..could happen perhaps, so i'll just name my favourite 10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in fact you can find jazz on ae albums , especially on draft. you just need to listen to some snares, they are almost like those jazz smooth brushes.and general improvization, which is all about jazz. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im only familiar with cage and coltrane..i like them both..i'll check out answers to those questions when i get home today! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i doubt i'd be able to persuade radio people that..they know their shit :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. small minded i would rather say, but what can you do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when was the album released: Lublanska Psi - TV (Ecerna revolucija) Pankrti - Lepi in pranzi Ramones - S/T Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Iggy & The Stooges - Fun House Nirvana - Nevermind Black Sabbath -S/T |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, actually i was serious about it..they're music experts, it's hard to belive how much they know about it. it's the most respected radio station (and much more) in this part of the europe and they really put out quality stuff.. sure, there are similarities between autechre and jazz improvisation, but i had a chance to see spiritual unity and autechre live in the past two weeks and the first ones blew my mind of, definitely one of the most exciting gigs i ever witnessed..autechre were nice too but not nearly as complex as those jazzy guys :) |

just memorize these sites: |

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ah i wasnt taking a piss with those questionsits just they are a little jokes, well if youre not familiar with the issues, you wont reckognize the sillynes of them. like for example, Terry Rilley was one helluva experiment-guy, he did weird stuff with guitars and electronic machines of every kind ( and not only ), but he was never a violin player, and i bet he even never had one in his hands :P and so on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha! you remembered those first two by heart? or you made a typo? :) either way, respect! as for answers - i'd say the first 5 on that list are from roughly 75-80, nevermind in 1991 (?) man i suck, and black sabath from around 75 as well :) jav!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, nice, no sweat. opto, i'll buy you a beer if i get a question about rilley :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
allright, it might happen as hes quite famous in john cage areas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Stanko is a type of guitar , right ? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you have to know the punk rock of your country! ;) answers: 1. 1981 2. 1978 (?80?) 3. 1976 4. 1977 5. 1975 6. 1991 7. 1970 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
#5 is 1970. that's a typo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you guzs think about remixing old classical songs like stuff from Ludwig Beethoven, Chopin and such.... It might be interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wrong thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got asked these when I went to work in a record shop Who is Declan McManus? Who is Harry Webb? Who is Reg Dwight? etc I recommend web site. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh wow. what sort of cunt would spend all his time going through a list of celebrities' real names just to ask a normal person what they are? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do it and we'll say what we think when we hear it :) dog belch, i have a feeling it might be something like that..perhaps frontmen names and such..if that's going to be so i know already im going to fail..btw, did you know the answers to those? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll remember those i think..it's funny how my memory works.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, could you all name some bands that i shouldn't miss out and were quite important for the alternative music scene..obscure stuff too, i know very little about this i think... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know more about the current music scenes than anybody. seriously, you know more about what's happening in new york than i do. specializing in certain things is good, i think. you love music, you've got good taste - you'll do fine! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think that new york thing is more of an exception..it so happens i like the scene you have going there so that's that. "specializing in certain things is good, i think" definitely, i was way too focused on electronic music only for too long, and i know quite a bit about it i think, but the downside of that is that i neglected other genres for too long.. and im very weak in knowledge when it comes to 70's and 80's..but i know what i know and i doubt i can improve in next two days, especially because im going to a gig tomorrow that is about 100 miles from here so i won't have any time beside tonight to check out some facts :) thanks for your support!! |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha :) dobbin, you could also recommend some 80's albums for instance..less synth and more rock oriented..joy division alikes :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter, any chance you point out some names? :) |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i think im looking for all the important bands/artists in the past 50 years or so :) i wish i could be specific, but i have no idea how that test is going to look like..so basically im looking for importans artists or albums so i can check some info about them :) and thanks! |

i had that test yesterday..it was difficult but very well put together. one question also involved aphex twin :) the last question - test was audio - they played 15 songs and we had to guss what was it..it was all music i haven't heard before - except for like two tracks..it was either the most obscure or very popular (which i don't listen to much) music and i had real hard time with that one. plenty of etno, jazz.. first question was a list of about 30 people (real names) and we had to write what we knew about them..second question was the same but about domestic people. next one was to explain some terms (be-pop, crooklyn, air guitar,...). then what idm, gysbe, ebm, ur,... stand for. next one what was sun studio known for. then krautrock. where's motown located. then a question about british invasion. difference between hardcore and punk. what music scenes are chicago, detroit and manchester known for and to describe the scenes and anything we knew about it. and a bunch of more questions i can't think of right now :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would have failed that test, i'm sure. how well do you think you did? |
