And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Beck’s “Mixed Bizness” samples The Rolling Stones’ “Honky Tonk Women.” An unusual choice that adds a certain energetic swagger to the track.
2. Paolo Nutini’s “New Shoes” was certified Platinum in both the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Quite the transcontinental success for a pair of footwear.
3. “All Sparks” is from Editors’ debut album, “The Back Room.” The album helped establish them as notable figures in the post-punk revival scene.
4. The German duo Marc et Claude released “Tremble” in 2001. The track had modest chart success, blending their characteristic electro-trance style.
5. “The Rest Will Follow” appears on the “Worlds Apart” album by …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Known for its sonic depth, like the name suggests.
6. Athlete’s “El Salvador” video features a man undergoing facial surgery. Ambitious visual metaphors complement their eclectic pop-rock sound.
7. “Voices” by Disturbed was featured in the *Jeepers Creepers* trailer. A fittingly unsettling track for a horror film’s marketing campaign.
8. In the “She Said” video, Jon Spencer, as a vampire, is pursued by nuns. Initially an unusual premise, but in context, it becomes a cult classic.
9. Finch’s “Letters to You” belongs to the pop-punk genre. It’s distinguished by emotional intensity and catchy hooks on debut album *What It Is to Burn*.
10. In 2005, “The Salt Wound Routine” by Thirteen Senses reached number 45 on the UK Singles Chart. It left a modest yet polished impression.
11. The album *Frengers* by Mew blends “friend” and “stranger.” This duality reflects the band’s unique blend of familiar yet otherworldly soundscapes.
12. Aloud’s music is best described as electronic. Their 2004 single output adheres to the duo’s synthesis of house and electro rhythms.
