Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. She sings about wanting to be a "Dolphin" and being "Haunted."

Answer: Poe

"Dolphin" is from Poe's debut album, "Hello." "Haunted" is from an album by the same name.

2. This band guested on the Go-Betweens' "Friends of Rachel Worth" album.

Answer: Sleater-Kinney

Janet Weiss, Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney appeared on the "Friends of Rachel Worth" album. They have put out a number of albums on their own, including "Dig Me Out," "The Hot Rock," and "All Hands on the Bad One."

3. This Riot Grrrl was featured on Mike Watt's "Ballhog or Tugboat?" album, requesting that he give back her "Annie" soundtrack.

Answer: Kathleen Hanna

"And I know you haven't even listened to it yet."

Answer: Ani DiFranco

This poem was written by Ani about September 11th. It appears on her new album, "So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter." I was fortunate enough to be at the concert at which it was recorded.

5. Her "Exile in Guyville" album was written as a female response to the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Mainstreet."

Answer: Liz Phair

The whole album was recorded in her bedroom!

6. This punk poetess sang "Lo and Beholden".

Answer: Patti Smith

This track appears on her "Gung-Ho" album.

7. Wesley Willis sings about which two women on his "Rock and Roll Will Never Die" album?

Answer: Courtney Love, Liz Phair

"Rock over London, rock over Chicago. Tower Records: the difference is selection."

8. Almost all of the songs on this group's first album are named after food.

Answer: Cibo Matto

Cibo Matto is Italian for "food madness," but this band is actually Japanese. Go figure!

Answer: Tori Amos

Tori's credits include "Little Earthquakes," "Under the Pink," "Boys for Pele," "From the Choirgirl Hotel," "To Venus and Back," and "Strange Little Girls." Sarah has put out several albums including "Fumbling Toward Ecstasy" and "Surfacing." Fiona has two albums so far, "Tidal" and "When the Pawn." Beulah is not a piano woman, but a group of guys who refer to themselves as the "friendliest pop band on Earth."

10. She used to front Throwing Muses, but is now doing the solo thing.

Answer: Kristen Hersh

Kristen is currently on tour with Grant Lee Phillips (formerly of Grant Lee Buffalo) and John Doe (formerly of X). Their tour is called "Exile Follies," because all three of them have left a band to pursue a solo career. They do an amazing show if you can find them in your area.
