I'm struggling with the VF connection though $:-\$

I can't help you with that. I know nowt about them.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #904 on:** 03 February, 2010, 11:16:11 am »

Woffage is correct - the Violent Femmes song is "Waiting For The Bus".

in response to clarion's 'take it away dolphin' query, i think it was at the start of 'right on sister' on the rising free ep. But i could be wrong,

clarion · « **Reply #906 on:** 03 February, 2010, 12:33:35 pm »

I think you're right!

I've had Tom saying that in my head for ages, and I can recall the opening drum bit, but I just couldn't get any further.

Cheers

New question will be along soon...

Woofage · « **Reply #908 on:** 03 February, 2010, 01:10:25 pm »

Who links David Bowie, King Crimson and Talking Heads?

citoyen · « **Reply #909 on:** 03 February, 2010, 01:12:02 pm »

Robert Fripp?

Next guess would be Brian Eno.

Sorry CS, it's Crimson's other guitarist, Adrian Belew. He played with 'Heads on 'Remin in Light', he's played with Bowie on tour and has sung for the Crim since their Discipline album.

Woofage · « **Reply #911 on:** 03 February, 2010, 02:18:26 pm »

Mr Bunbury is correct

. I knew it wouldn't take long!

Redlight · « **Reply #912 on:** 03 February, 2010, 02:55:53 pm »

Ah, but Smidge is right too. Fripp played with Bowie and on one of the early TH albums (I think it might also have been Remain in Light), as well as KC. So he's still a connection - he just wasn't the one you were thinking of

Fripp played on I Zimbra on Fear of Music.

Tbh, Brian Eno is probably a correct answer too - I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to find connections for Eno to all those three (King Crimson is the only link for which a connection doesn't readily spring to mind, in fact). There are probably other names that would also constitute a valid correct answer.

But since Woofage was thinking of Adrian Belew, I think that has to be taken as the definitive answer.

Why thankyou

Could Fripp & Eno count as an Eno-Crim connection, since Fripp is the only constant member of that band?

Anyway, I suppose I'd better think of a question. Hmmm......

Woofage · « **Reply #916 on:** 03 February, 2010, 03:31:10 pm »

I thought a few would put Eno forward as I wasn't aware of any connection between him and Bowie. But then I wasn't aware of any connection between Robert Fripp and Bowie either

so sorry for the confusion. I'm happy for Mr Bunbury to continue if everyone else is.

What links Bowie, Fripp, Eno, Pop, Visconti and Belew (but not Byrne)?

Okay then, here's a question.

Richard, Clive, Keith, Roger, Sheilagh and Nick were the Screaming Abdabs. Clive and Keith later had top 10 success with 'Summer Song', but the others had the last laugh. How come?

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #919 on:** 03 February, 2010, 03:45:41 pm »

Roger, Richard and Nick are Messrs. Waters, Wright and Mason and thus went on to become slightly-successful beat combo Pink Floyd.

Karla · « **Reply #920 on:** 03 February, 2010, 04:30:23 pm »

Indeed they did. Keith, on the other hand, went on to teach english & drama to sprogs like me. I wonder who got the best deal?

Redlight · « **Reply #921 on:** 03 February, 2010, 09:02:42 pm »

Sorry, I knock off at four pm...

I thought of an excellent one earlier this morning but have now forgotten it, so you'll have to make do with telling me what the following Beat Combos have in common:

Owl-loving oddballs British Sea Power
Hairy Gods of Thunder Motörhead
Desert Rockers par excellence Masters Of Reality
Post-punk growly types Killing Joke
