Aly Tadros pop quiz 2.0 – Austin

I believe Aly Tadros is our first popolio pop quiz Artist to answer Number 12 with an actual quote, and from a Broadway musical, no less.  Just wanted to point that out, because I don’t know about you, but I’m impressed.

Name:  Aly Tadros
Genre:  Alternative Folk
Debut Release:  Things Worth Keeping (Self-Released)
Release Date:  August 22, 2009

This, That, or the Other
1. Straight-Up Funk or Down-and-Dirty Punk? Straight-Up Funk
2.  Lyrics or Beats? Beats
3. Fan-Favorite or Critics’ Darling? Fan-Favorite
4. Closed Fist or Open Hand? Closed Fist
5. Wall Flower, Life of the Party, or Dancing Your @$$ off? Dancing Your @$$ off

Fill in the Blank
6. Music keeps me from controlled substances.                                                     
7. If I wasn’t a musical artist I’d be a bad artist.                                                       
8. My favorite all-time music video is  “Ironic”  by Alanis Morissette.   Still makes me dizzy.                                                          
9. If I could have a super power it would be to speak every language because it would open up a whole world of menu options.  
10. Peace, Love, and Happiness should change to Tolerance, Appreciation, and Boots

Short Answer
11. Musicianship means:  An innate sense in arranging/executing music….whether it be organic or built after hours and hours and hours of trial and error.  Mine would be the latter.

12. If I could convey one perfect thought or sentiment through one perfect song it would be:  “After they had explored all the suns in the universe, and all the planets of all the suns, they realized that there was no other life in the universe, and that they were all alone. And they were very happy, because then they knew it was up to them to become all the things they had imagined they would find.” Lanford Wilson from his play, The Fifth of July

13. If I could change one thing about myself it would be:  Pull ups.  I can’t do a single pull up.  I will, however, hang onto to the bars for long periods of time in the vein hope that I’ll figure it out.  The whole situation makes working out in public parks really embarrassing.     

14. Wild Card!  Though no one else has ever noticed it (to my knowledge), I’m pretty sure I have a lazy eye.

15. The most important thing to me RIGHT NOW is:  Getting the electrical outlet in the car fixed before we head back on tour tomorrow.  I don’t know if I can handle the drive from Austin to El Paso without Facebook.

Aly Tadros’ favorite all-time video!
