Trivia: Match the Quote to the Musician

In my four-plus years at AP, I've done quite a few interviews. And while most of the time these interviews are professional and straightforward, sometimes odd, surprising or downright funny things are said into my tape recorder. I recently did an interview that had a few of my coworkers laughing out loud when I shared the transcript, which got me to thinking… It might be fun to put together a little “match the musician to the quote” game–kinda like the word games you'd see in your copy of Highlights magazine when you were a kid.

So, I perused through a chunk of my transcripts from past interviews… Pretty sure they range from 2007 to last week. I'm gonna number the musicians–see if you can match them to the correct quote letter! 

 

Musicians:

1. Billy Hayes/Wavves

2. Marc Stewart/Forever The Sickest Kids

3. Forrest Kline/Hellogoodbye

4. Alex DeLeon/The Cab

5. Keith Buckley/Every Time I Die

6. Pat Brown/Sing It Loud

7. Ryan Ross/Panic! At The Disco (at the time)

8. Shawn Harris/The Matches (at the time)

9. Mike Posner

10. Matthew Caws/Nada Surf

 

Quotes:

A. “Someone farted—sorry, I’ve gotta stop.”

B. “I’m great! I’m out about to eat a chicken pot pie!”

C. “I wish fans could just see who we were at home. How big of a dork I am, sitting in my bed for three days, watching the Food Network, going online and looking up gossip sites.”

D. “Here’s the secret to girls’ clothes. It costs a lot to go a tailor. It costs so much money. Are you kidding me? It’s not that guys want to wear girls clothes—well, it is fun sometimes. But it’s that girls clothes are tapered and hemmed and tailored in many cases the way you would have your men’s clothes if you were to take them in. If album sales were still up, maybe we’d go to the tailor. But for now, Gap women’s section works just fine for some black jeans.”

E. “Can I call you right back? I just got out of the shower.”

F. “We hung out with him for a little while after that show—he was a real jerk. He had a real attitude problem, so I started life-coaching him, and I couched him into a real heavy hitter.”

G. “See you soon, Rachie Poo!”

H. “Wait a minute. I think there’s a Chinese bus from Philly to New York that costs $12.”

I. “So at this point, [there aren't any] guest stars on the album. We’ll see. Who knows what can happen. We don’t have Bono or anything on guest vocals.”

J. “Sorry we had to reschedule this interview, but I literally lost my phone in a toilet in a bar.”

 

(Disclaimer: None of these are meant to poke fun at anyone. They were all moments that made me chuckle, so even though there isn't any context, hopefully the interwebs can just take this as a fun little game.)
