Ha. That's not bad. I think "spin doctors" is a broader term though. It can apply to all manner of PR people, not just the ones who go on TV. Talking Heads is limited to just those people on television, so I think it's the right answer.
According to Wikipedia, Texas, Virginia, Florida, and Kentucky are sometimes included as part of Dixie, and Missouri, Oklahoma, and West Virginia are included by a few, but most often it includes the states of Arkansas and Louisiana eastward to the coast.
I'm also a Virginian... and get told all the time that Virginia is not really part of the South... by ignorant people I presume. The Mason-Dixon line is the northern border of Maryland ffs and Robert E Lee is in my extended family tree. It's not the "deep South," but still the South.
Yeap, I tried Texas as well. Can it not be accepted as a type in, given it is part of Dixie and a band? That question is tough enough for us non Americans.
Whether the black keys are sharps and flats depends on which key you're in. E.g. E natural is a white note, E sharp (one semitone higher) is also a white note (and is also F natural). You might ned to re-word the question to allow for this.
Yeah, and the white key to the right of C is also C double sharp... but I think it's fair to assume that for a general audience we wouldn't call the B key C flat, we'd just call it B.
Who are Beirut ???. I have heard of all of the other bands but I never heard of them , got it from the clue . How about Exodus ( very popular us thrash metal band ). as an answer .
There is a lesser-known band called SR-71. So much lesser-known, that it is conceivable that this quiz could go eight years without it being mentioned.
AC/DC is not a motor, it means alternating and direct current the hint is misleading. The bands are obscure in some cases or the hints are not well thought out. In some cases you give the answer in the hint, e.g. Capital of Lebanon instead of maybe saying middle eastern capital city. Needs more work. You could have selected more commonly named bands with harder hints.
Fantastic category for a quiz. My only suggestion would be to use a different word for stripes in your clue (e.g. banner, line, horizontal bar). Typically, the clue should not contain the answer or part of the answer.
That was fun! Learned about bands I never heard of by just guessing the answer phrased as a "cool band name". With the American flag question, I'd find a way to not use the answer in the question. Maybe the word "lines" instead?
Maybe it's because I'm coming fresh off a crossword, but having "stripes" in the clue for the answer "white stripes" feels very awkward. Seems like the clue should just be "six of thirteen on the US flag"
I went way too specific with the Greek goddesses one... I managed to pull Clio, Thalia, Erato, Urania, Calliope, Polyhymnia, and Terpsichore before I realized what the answer was supposed to be.
Wait.
What?
Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy! And if you live in most of Virginia for any length of time, you'll quickly realize it's Dixie.
I mean we all memorise the mottos of US states before we even learn to walk.
