A top notch - and very tricky - edition of Snapshots this weekend. Many thanks to C from Sun Dried Sparrows for her hard work. C, of course, is an artist (as is Ron Wood and today's header image, multi-disciplinary artist Yayoi Kusama). Perhaps that was the best clue to this week's link...
15. Viv Daisyland is confused.
Viv Daisyland is an anagram of David Sylvian.
14. Destination Saturday?
If you were to go to David Bowie’s Drive In Saturday, you would be At The Drive In.
13. Not ewe twos!
Not ewe = ram, not twos = ones, put them together and you get the Ramones.
Extra kudos to C for finding a picture of the Ramones where they don't immediately look like the Ramones. From past experience, I know that's a tough one!
12. A rabbit follows an Ant.
Harvey the rabbit (from the film) comes after Ant (McPartlin) who was P J in P J & Duncan / Byker Grove.
Ditto Polly Jean, actually.
11. Little and fluffy.
10. A distant Pet Shop Boy.
Chris Lowe is a Pet Shop Boy, if he’s distant he’s far, put them together for Chris FARlowe.
9. Picasso’s identical friends.
Jean Cocteau was a friend of Picasso and twins can be identical.
8. Orion and Gogmagog, perhaps.
Orion is from Greek mythology and Gogmagog is from English folklore - they might be giants!
7. Gilded French software program.
‘Kraftwerk’ means power station in Walter’s native tongue!
Well, you learn something new every day!
3. Sandi and the disgraced Duke add email.
2. Reorganise! Win a kinder cow!
Reorganise ‘win a kinder cow’ to spell Dionne Warwick (anagram).
1. Ruddy regal frippery!
Robert Fripp was in King (regal) Crimson (ruddy)
King Crimson: Frame by Frame
More Snapshots next Saturday - but nothing quite as inspired, I'm afraid to say.
Thank you both (I think)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ernie and sorry it wasn't a better one - quite the learning curve for me! How does he do it?!
DeleteIt was a good one - hard but fair like old school football defenders. Continuing the analogy, I think the team struggled because we were already two men down with John and CC not available and then we discovered our star striker was lining up for the opposition.
DeleteMight be even worse next week. There's a rumour that the Quiz Queen herself may be unavailable for selection.
Stellar clues, C. I especially liked the distant Pet Shop Boy. - Brian
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian - it was lovely to see you there on Saturday morning (or late night Friday for you?!)
DeleteThanks to Rol too for letting me have a go!
