NTN Encore Question of August 18th, 2007.

Answers:

  1. The Jam
  2. Eddie And The Hot Rods
  3. The Boo Radleys
  4. Squeeze
  5. XTC

I wasn't playing this week. I went to the Canadian National Exhibition for the purpose of looking around and watching the MLS soccer game between Toronto FC and Chivas USA and the Reserves game after that.
Thanks to Steven/SEKA from the Playback message board for the recap.

I don't know if I'd have got 20000 before the Encore. Since I couldn't find the scores of my friends on the NTN site, I don't think they came out this week so playing solo, there's a good chance I wouldn't have made it.

Encore Question:..."Cool For Cats" and "Argybargy" are albums from which influential U.K. band?:

Correct Answer:....4. Squeeze

Extra Fact:...Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook formed Squeeze in 1974.

I would have had that one. I don't own any of their albums but I know the second title and have seen the video for the single "Cool For Cats" quite often over the years. For the last few months there's a beer commercial shown cross Canada where a bottle of beer is being passed through a crowded bar from the bartender to a man who ordered it. It doesn't reach him as another man subs his fruity cocktail for the beer while the strains of the Squeeze song "Tempted" is being played. "Tempted by the fruits of another..." was originally about people's relationships not for a beer brand. The other bands I've heard except for Eddie And The Hot Rods who I see from my music books never made the charts.
