Subject: Musician Roulette - COMPLETE

Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Dec 04 18

Every December we seem to put it on ourselves to make the most ambitious challenge out there and accomplish everything before the holiday season comes to an end. This year, I wanted to do something a bit more ambitious, mainly because this idea doesn't seem achievable in that small time.

Our Music category is looking for help filling in some of its lesser-covered sections, specifically our alphabetical sections. When we don't have enough quizzes about a specific band, those quizzes tend to be alphabetized in overview subcategories listed as 'A' or 'B' or 'C', etc. as a placeholder. And when we get a couple of quizzes about said musicians they get their own subcategory to be found with ease.

So what we're going to do is play a game of roulette. If you're interested in writing a quiz about a musician/band, say so in the comments here. The roulette wheel will spin and give you two letters. You can choose one of them. With that letter, you need to write a quiz to go into that subcategory. So if you're given T and G, you can choose G and finally write that quiz we need for Glass Animals. Or you can pick a band we already have in that letter subcategory. We already have an Ariana Grande quiz, but one more, and we can make a subcategory!

You may write as many quizzes for this challenge as you want, but you may only have one letter at a time. You can spin the wheel again once your quiz is online.

Each letter appears on the roulette wheel TWICE, so this challenge is looking for fifty-two quizzes in total.

Does anyone else listen to the band in question while writing the quiz? I had 'Radiator' on while writing my SFA one.

When I'm editing a quiz. I make a concurrent Spotify playlist of some of the songs mentioned in the quiz especially if the quiz is a which song is this type. Quiz. I normally pick 5-6 songs which is about 20 minutes worth of music and this is the amount of time it takes to edit a quiz with few errors. If I like the music I might add another song or two even though I have finished editing. Two authors have had all ten questions represented in their my temporary playlist and three authors have had the dubious honour of having their temp playlist retained in perpetuity by me. I also have a playlist of music which I first heard about via a FT music quiz and subsequently liked at least enough to be a keeper. My "FT Finder and Keeper" playlist currently has 127 songs on it.

That's a heckuva good idea, Nick, and I think I'm going to start doing it when I edit.

I absolutely listen to the band when writing quizzes on them, but usually they are bands I listen to all the time anyway.

Speaking of, here’s my offering for B:

I’ll have another spin if possible? :)

Beach House is a good one to add to those setlists.

Your next spin is F and Z.

I was mainlining Wham! when I wrote that quiz. My mum is a big fan of them and George Michael, and I'd forgotten what a fun band they were. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go is definitely my fave. Underworld, I'm not as into them, but they're good to chill to.

Btw did you edit any of my quizzes and if so, what songs did you pick? Something For the Weekend and Northern Lites are my favourite SFA songs. Not sure about Housemartins as they have a few candidates.

I’ll take F, Kyle, thanks.
