Stop Thief! Vandal! ABU! Scandal!
Okay, it's Friday... I don't really feel like blogging. But I do feel like having my trivias accumulate comments and guesses! Actually, I'll repost them here so it's easier to guess them.
Trivia 1: From a song in a movie: "Right from the moment when I met her, saw her"
Well, this one started out as an e-mail I sent out to a few people including David, and then I gave him a few hints cuz he was close, and he solved it. I was actually just going to write the answer here, but instead I'll just post extended lyrics and wait for someone else to post the answer:
"Right from the moment when I met her, saw her -
_ ____ ____ ________ ___ _ ____;
Here in town there's only she; who is beautiful as me;
__ __ ______ _____ __ ___ ___ _____ _____!"
Trivia 2 was the artist one. David and Wen tried to download it and it didn't work because Firefox gave me a false positive, and then Ambrose tried it and... didn't win. I don't think anyone's going to get it, so I'll give you the answer, as well as the story. But you can still download it and sample their music: http://www.baomon.com/blog/artist-10-28.MP3
So go back to 1996-1997. I had a birthday party, and I invited my new friend Alfie. I don't think he knew that much about me, so he bought me a music cd; more specifically, Our Lady Peace, their first album. Back then (and even now), we didn't really buy music cds or listen to music cds outside the car, so I thought the present was a bit odd. And it was a band I've never heard of, and back then we didn't really buy into popular music or whatever. But that's kinda contradictory, since Our Lady Peace wasn't really popular yet.
Anyway, so I pop in the cd, and... well, it'd be nice if the story continued with "... and I instantly fell in love with them", but no, the feeling wasn't that strong. It actually was more of a curiosity, random trying out of things, but I liked it. I think they're a Canadian band... their first album was a bit experimental, mostly happy, and neat sounding, with some edgy/evil songs, but nowadays they're a pretty happy band I think, with a wide variety of instruments but mostly ranging with the guitars.
Anyway, so that's one story of how I got introduced to a band. It's nice to have a nice range of music... anyway, so the answer is Our Lady Peace. The odd one out was #3, and that is Hoobastank. Like (but very unlike) Our Lady Peace, they started out really evil and metal/punk/hiphop and whatever, and then they release this popular nice song, "The Reason" which becomes famous and is played on radios and music channels and all that.
Trivia 3: Trivia 3 was another song from another movie. "Still I think he's rather tasty" - solved right away, it's from Aladdin, during the "Street Rat" / "One Jump Ahead" song.
Trivia 4 was another artist one. No guesses yet... the next version of this should be kinda simple, I think Wen would get it for sure and Alan is a 50/50 on getting it. But this one was at http://www.baomon.com/blog/artist-10-30.MP3
The next day was the link to http://www.baomon.com/blog/toxicity.MP3 which wasn't a trivia, just a new featured artist on my blog. Still would like comments though?
Trivia 5 was the most current one, I'll leave it in the previous blog update, someone should solve it there.
