Totally random iPod trivia pop quiz: Week 4

Welcome to week 4! Download now.

Another bonus round week. Same deal as last time, and this time I've included the space to answer the bonus points on the main form (at the very bottom).

This week should be no more difficult than previous rounds. Last week we seemed to have had a couple of drop-outs from the quiz, so the race is on. This round is worth 15 points + a possible 10 bonus points.

Cover art bonus round:
For this you'll need to give me the artist and album name.
Each album is worth half a point. Each artist is worth half a point.
1.2.
3.4.
5.6.
7.8.
9.10.

It's a story...

"Now, you two boys slide that shotgun over here and put your hands on your head and your head against the floor!"
"This day's been coming from the beginning, huh, Kooky? Right from the start."
"Run!"
The next time Muzbot sees Kooky, it is brief, as Kooky is leaving for a concert with Jacks. After Muzbot turns the corner, Kooky never sees Muzbot again.


In a world obsessed by violence this book opens its mouth wide, takes a bite, chews it up and spits it back in your face. Come along for the ride as two unlikely outcasts team up for the adventure of everyone else's lives.

Awwww... Good mates.

Nice couple of days.

Friday afternoon, good news everyone. Clover Moore, our mayor, has finally done something for us motorcyclists. We can now park for free in the city. A big Woot to this!

Friday night: dine with this view. I'll miss the roof top when I move. But some beers and take-away and my own company made for a very relaxing end to the week. Watched the ships coming and going on the harbour.
Sat morning: Breakfast at The Bunker. My total fave breakfast local. Today was savory mince on toast, another classic from my childhood. Hey Dave look: Position "Vacant Waitress"... And there she is:
Kitchen: Demolition in progress.
Lunch: KFC. Oh yeah, give me some of those "Wicked Wings". Yum. Burp. Ride bike.Awwww, Sydney sunsets are just beautiful.

Muzbot's totally random iPod trivia pop quiz. Week 3

Here is a link to where you'll find the 3rd week's MP3: WEEK 3. (Worth 22 points.)

I was going to do an 80's themed quiz this week, but as it turns out most of the random songs that came up this week were from the 80's anyway.

I'm enjoying producing these quizzes. I've used a higher compression on the mp3 this week, so the quality is lacking, but the download should be much smaller. Good luck.

Sunday is ride day...

Look, see I do smile when I'm out and about riding my bike.

Muzbot's totally random iPod trivia pop quiz. Week 2

Here is a link to where you'll find the 2nd week's MP3: WEEK 2. (Worth 16 points.)

It's not much easier this week, but give it a go. You are allowed to use the web to find the answers if you wish, but you're still going to have to have good song recognition skills.







Week 2: Bonus points...

Cover art:
For this you'll need to give me the artist and album name.
Each album is worth half a point. Each artist is worth half a point.
1.2.
3.4.
5.6.
7.8.
9.10.

Want to know the score?

I'm considering not putting the answers online just yet because I know a couple of people have mentioned that they would still like to join in the trivia quiz. So, if you would like an email from me with the answers you'll be able to enter your email address into the answer form and I'll fire off an email to you with the answers.

I'll publish this week's quiz later this evening (assuming I have an internet connection, it's been a bit sketchy this week).

I'll also be putting up the top 10 each week on the download page:

My day off...

Ooo look. Water. I'm going to go for a swim. What a good idea.

Getting the toes wet. Strange feeling. It's the first swim for the season. It's also a bit cold. Was this really a good idea?

Look out for that wave. You'll get dumped you fool. Dive, quick. Wheeee....
Ahhh, past the breakers into calmer waters. Brrrrrr. It's freakin' cold. Yep, they're goosebumps on my arm. I think today was not the best day for a swim. Most of the beaches are closed due to rough conditions.
Phew. Breather. Happy... Oh crap, is that the shore all the way back there? Damn, time to turn around and paddle back.
There were also some humpback whales offshore today doing crazy tail slapping and breaching. When I did get back on shore, I watched them playing around. Must have been at least 3 of them. Sweet. It's actually the first time I've experienced humpbacks being so active.

I like my new 'burb.

Muzbot's totally random iPod trivia pop quiz.

So here's the deal.

I plan on doing a trivia post each week for the next 6 weeks. It's all music this week and there are 12 questions. You'll have to listen to the mp3 for the questions and songs.

Yes, I know you can cheat and surf the web for the answers. So leave a comment on how you think you went without cheating, but please don't leave any answers in the comments.

Here is a link to where you'll find the first week's MP3: WEEK 1. (Worth 20 points.)




p.s. Feel free to pass the link on to anyone who might be interested.

Oh yeah...

I'm really enjoying hanging out at Madam DeBiers in Kings Cross at the moment.

Tonight was trivia night and we ended up scoring second place (after being robbed of first place in the final round). Everyone in the bar scored a free scotch which also went down well. And the $9 rib and steak menu on a Thursday is fantastic value. There were many laughs and I enjoyed the company very much.

I've also decided that I want to host a trivia night. I could so do a good job of that.

One night in Sydney...





I'm wearing this hat...

because last week I was busted for not wearing shoes at work.
To be honest, I didn't think people could see my feet that well under my desk. I'm an OH&S disaster just waiting to happen.

Facebook status' for Monday night...

Muzbot is:
  • not a bad person.
  • often feeling like he stops himself unduly.
  • wishing he went for gelato tonight, but the rain stopped him... unduly.
  • pissed off Sophie went from Idol. That was 50c I spent on a txt for nothing!
  • thinking about running away to New York thanks to an offer today.
  • not sure he can wear the debt for running away to New York.
  • loving "no undie mondie".
  • wondering if his new footy shorts are too short.
  • sure said new footy shorts will never be worn in public with no undies.
  • impressed he received an email about another o/s exhibition opportunity.
  • happy he's caught up on reading his HUGE growing list of blogs.
  • comparing his emotions to the ash that falls from a cigarette. Why?
  • enjoying his guilty pleasure: Katy Perry "Hot N Cold"
  • thinking 3 posts in one night must mean I need to get some things off my chest.
  • wondering what happened to that bottle of vodka. I'm sure it was full last week.
  • wondering if "status'" is correct??? Or is it "statuses"?

Right, well that's Idol for another year...

Sophie was voted off tonight. Kind of thought that was going to happen all season.

She was the most unique individual and I was totally in love with her voice. Those left on the couch tonight bore me to the point of no interest. So, I guess that's it for me and Monday night TV.

Back to reading more blogs.

This inspires me...

Inspiration (ĭn'spə-rā'shən): Stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity.This is totally up my alley. I adore her work. Laura Planska.

This past week's theme was "up & down & up &..."

Can I assume that Sunday really is the start of the week? If so, I guess the week ahead is pretty much like the past week... a bit of a roller coaster.

This morning I was up early and decided that "Bunker" was where I would like to eat... Funnily enough, I ended up at "Bunker". It was the B.E.S.T. toad in the hole I've had since I was a kid. Sorry Mum, but I'm sure if tomato relish was known back when I was a lad your's would have been just as good. And what's with Sydney cafe's going all old school with the breakfast choices? "Toad in the hole", "eggs and soldiers"? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it's freakin' cool to go out and get decent old fashioned food with out having the hassle of cooking it yourself... especially when it's not given some fancy name and served up with rocket. Don't get me started on rocket....
Someone's week was just as confusing as mine was based on this inscription on the toilet wall.
OMG. This was definitely an up! The gelato shop has some new flavours. I was already eating this before I realised I needed to photograph it. It's "soupe anglais" I think, which translates to "English soup"... Now, forgive me for thinking that this might be the most horrible flavour ever, but I tasted it and, people, it's TRIFLE. Yes, the best EVER. T.RI.F.L.E. Sponge, jammy stuff, custard and all that makes trifle my fave wrapped up in the best gelato in the world.
And beer. Don't forget the beer. That helped the afternoon seem less upsetting that it really was.
