no
 

Keep trying, here's another hint: it's not a swallow.

PT was around in the 70's?

D'oh!!!!!
 

British Band and Birds............

There's a Mockingbird singing songs in MY tree.

BJH?

I don't think so, Keith
 

I'm quite busy, so I'll help...

Moses said 70's bands, ruling out PT. I think the King refers to King Crimson.

I'm also thinking the Wall is a Floyd refernce.

royal whim = King Crimson - Lark's Tongue In Aspic

nice pass, Rick! Easy lay up with that assist...

I was thinking off the wall was a Floyd reference too, so I listened to the whole stinking album (The Wall) but didn't catch it. I did rip the album for addition to the playlist though, so it wasn't a total loss...

sneaking in a post
 

Grenchester (sp) Meadows off Ummagumma has birds tweeting all through it.....

another one for pdj
 

Yes, I would have taken that or any of the parts.

1. Water, water everywhere - Pink Floyd - Echoes - Albatross
2. Off the wall
3. Holy Spirit wings - Iona - The Flight of the Wild Goose (Instrumental) - Goose
4. A royal whim - King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic - Lark
5. She's your sister? - Yes - Starship Trooper - Bluebird

Just one more. I would have thought you'd have this one by now. It's not too difficult. In fact, it's nothing at all. ;)

Jim 2, Rick 1, Yesspaz 1...

Tull?
 

One White Duck? 0 to power of 10 = nothing at all

Re: another one bites the dust
 

might it be "over" the wall instead?

Re: Re: another one bites the dust
 

Then might it be 2Two little love birds" who "cuckoo" to you.

Keep them mowingblades sharp!!!

It's knockin' off time for the cosmic lawnmower!!!!

Finally!

That's the one I was thinking of. I had no idea there were so many bird brains on the Moon. Final score:

Jim 2, Rick 2, Yesspaz 1

Want a tiebreaker, or do you just want to flip for it?

why doesn't Rick take it, since his assist on KC - Lark was key, and I've posed a question more recently....

Jim -
 

I can do one but it would be in a day or two - work is quite the bitch. I didn't expect to be competitive on this question, that's why I punted it before.

I should be able to do one by Wed.

go for it - I'm going to be out of the competition for most of the next two-three weeks between work, skiing, and London - I may get a guess or two in if Keithie lets me near his computer though...

formulating a teaser
 

The travelling theme ties in well with the next question. I have some research to do, and this is a busy week for me, so hopefully you will see it by Monday.

It will involve the use of DISTANCE.

ooh ooh!
 

is it...

D=RxT

by the Pixies?

Re: ooh ooh!
 

funny! Actually it will be ten questions, and you will get extra points for getting them right without clues. As the clues are given, the point value decreases.

Don't worry it's not nearly as complicated as it sounds.

I'll try to ask them by Monday.

Geography!!!
 

OK, let's see how this goes. What you need to do is tell me, based on the clues, the two geographical regions mentioned. They could be countries, US states, or cities around the globe. Hell, there's even a space question!

There's no need to identify the songs, just the places. Each place could be part of a song title, or more frequently, part of a lyric. All of the artists are on Aural Moon, but three or four songs are not. I've also pinned each clue down to the continent,

Without clues, I'll give you a bonus point. Otherwise, it's one for each question.

Example: If I say, 90 miles from North America Elton John to North America Zappa, the answer would be Philadelphia (Freedom) and Baltimore (what's new in Baltimore). They are approx 90 miles apart. Let's go:

1) 600 miles from Eurasian Focus to European Jethro Tull.
2) 1,000 miles from Asian Rush to Asian Dregs.
3) 1,900 miles from North America Genesis to N. A. Djam Karet.
4) 1,000 miles from North America Zappa to N.A. Supertramp.
5) 0 miles from Noth American Transatlantic to Flower Kings.
6) 500 miles from North American Yes to N.A. King Crimson.
7) 60 light years from Celestial FM to Gentle Giant.
8) 1,430 miles from Central America ELP to North Amer Marillion.
9) 2,700 miles from African Al Dimeola to African Peter Gabriel.
10) 750 miles from European UK to European Mike Oldfield.

Have fun, plenty of clues available!

First stab....
 

1) Turkey - Budapest
2) Bangkok - Seattle
5) Memphis
7) Aldebaran - The Moon

I'll get working on the rest in a while.

Re: First stab....

[b]1) Turkey - Budapest Very close - Budapest is right and Turkey is close in proximity (very close) - I forgot Focus has a tune called "Turkey Lurkey" - however, I did not include place names if they weren't meant to be (eg PG's "San Jacinto" refers to the Indian, not the city so it wouldn't be admissible). Now here's the tricky part - It's a lyric in a Focus song (that should greatly narrow it down).
2) Bangkok - Seattle Bangkok is right, looking for Asia with the Dregs.
5) Memphis NO
7) Aldebaran - The Moon Yes! Check Avian for the distance
:)

So, Keith has 2 for #7, and a half point each for the other two = 3 points total.

Re: Geography!!!
 

Roswell, NM?

Genesis Back In NYC... 1900 to NM...
Djam Karet Lights Over Roswell
