1 1 a 2002 Quiz Over to You 2002/2003 1 A 2002 Quiz Programnr: 02058/ra17 A 2002 QUIZ Manus: Claes Nordenskiöld Producent: Claes Nordenskiöld Sändningsdatum: 22/1, 2003 Längd: 14’31 Media mix – based on news inserts in the program Music: No Way Out” Peter Gabriel Claes Nordenskiöld: Hello there! And welcome to the yearly news quiz – A 2002 Quiz, Well, how much can you remember of all the things that took place last year? I’m going to ask you eleven questions and if you answer them correctly you’ll end up with a name that was very much related to the news last year. Now, before we start, write the numbers one to eleven down the left- hand side of a piece of paper. OK? Let’s get started, here’s the first clue. Listen carefully and good luck! Walt Disney’s latest animated movie is about Lilo – a little girl on Hawaii who lives with her sister and suddenly gets an unexpected visitor from another planet. At first she thinks that it’s just a fisty dog, but soon enough she realizes that it’s much more than that. What is the name of Lilo’s friend and co-star? Write the first letter of the name at number 8. Their names make up the movie’s title. Music: ”Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” Lilo & Stitch Soundtrack CN: Music from the soundtrack to the latest Disney’s movie. Write the first letter of the name of Lilo’s friend at number 8. Now to number 10. I’m looking for a continent. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate was released from house arrest in Myanmar, the country formerly known as Burma. Democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi was released in May after nineteen months in house arrest. The question for number 10 is: On which continent is Myanmar located? Here’s a report: Insert: For the past 12 years Suu Kyi has fought for democracy in Myanmar. When her opposition party won a majority in 1990, the military rejected the results and seized power. The United Nations official who worked for Suu Kyi’s release says elections could come within two years. CN: On which continent were we? Write the first letter in the name at number 10. 1 Over to You 2002/2003 2 A 2002 Quiz Programnr: 02058/ra17 Music: ”Without Me” Eminem CN: Now to number 6. Listen to this. Insert: A right-wing politician is gunned down. There is no known motive for the killing. CN: Right-wing politician Pim Fortuyn was brutally murdered in late spring. Fortuyn had been expected to get about 15% of the votes in the upcoming Dutch elections. For number 6, I’m looking for another name for the country of Holland. Music: ”Without Me” Eminem CN: At number 6 – another name for Holland. So, on to 9. We go back to the summer and the 2002 World Cup Football in Korea and Japan. Brazil won their gold medals, Germany clenched the silver, but who got the bronze medals? Write the first letter in the name of this country at number 9. Music: ”Without Me” Eminem CN: The name of the country which finished third in last year’s Football World Cup, at number 9. Now, here’s number 3. Elections have been held in France, Zimbabwe, as well as in Germany and many other countries. Here’re a couple of Swedish politicians in statements before the Swedish elections. My question is this. When a whole country holds elections another word is put in front of elections. Which word? Write the first letter of the word at number 3. Insert: The society need more than ever before some values to trust in…(Alf Svensson) And one of the biggest problem is that our lifestyle with all this consumption that we have…(Maria Wetterstrand)…Extreme right-wing parties, so we think it’s important to show that we…(Lars Leijonborg)…We’ve had a development where the results in school are worse every year. We have a situation with the lines in health care…(Bo Lundgren). Music: ”Without Me” Eminem CN: A little tricky there… At number 3, I wanted the first letter in the word that comes before elections, when a whole country holds elections. And – for number 11, I have a music question. Who sings this song which was a hit in the spring. Write the first letter of her first name at number 11. This is ”On the Radio”. Music: ”On the Radio” Nelly Furtado 2 Over to You 2002/2003 3 A 2002 Quiz Programnr: 02058/ra17 CN: The singer’s first name at number 11. On to 5. I’m looking for a Latin American country where the economy went wild in 2002. People’s savings lost their value and people couldn’t even get their money out of the banks! Listen to this reporter and write the first letter in the name of the country at number 5. Insert: … the peso, is worth less and less and there is rising fear among economists that the extreme financial crises will spread to other countries in South America. …they are doubtful of their leaders and their currency. And so they've been flocking to banks and exchange houses to turn in their pesos for dollars. Music: ”No Way Out” Peter Gabriel CN: At number 5, the name of the Latin American country in the report. Now here’s 7. I want the name of a religion. Shia and Sunni are two fractions of this religion where the believers are called Muslims. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict could also be said to be a conflict between Judaism and… Well, what? Listen to this and write it at number 7. Insert: Israeli forces rounded up hundreds of Palestinian boys and men for interrogation and are holding them in a camp near Jerusalem…Electricity supplies are patchy, water to much of the city cut off. United Nations agencies believe the water problems threaten the health of the population here. Adding to the water woes, some Palestinians say, pot-shots are taken at reserve tanks which then quickly empty. Music: ”No Way Out” Peter Gabriel CN: For number 7, the name of a religion. And now to one of the newer stars of r&b – Alicia Keys. Her album ”Songs in A Minor” was a big hit in 2001 and 2002. And so was this song. What is it called? Write the first letter in the title at number 2. Here’s Alicia Keys. Music: ”Fallin’” Alicia Keys CN: Alicia Keys in… Well, write the first letter in the name of the song at number 2. Now, for number 4, I want you to write the capital city of a country which held presidential elections this spring. Here’s a report. Insert: The opposition claims that Mr. Mugabe is abusing his power in trying to disrupt pre-elections political rallies with the passage of the new public order and security act…And once again the people came out to try their luck. Many here are tired, hungry and frustrated, but they're also determined not to be denied their constitutional right to vote. 3 Over to You 2002/2003 4 A 2002 Quiz Programnr: 02058/ra17 CN: So, for number 4 – what is the capital of Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe? Music: ”No Way Out” Peter Gabriel CN: At number 4 – the first letter in the name of Zimbabwe’s capital city. So we’re at the last letter – number 1, a sports question. Kajsa Bergqvist, Christian Olsson and Carolina Klüft, Swedish track-and-field stars aiming for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games. But where will they be held? Write the first letter in the name of the city at number 1. Music: ”Without Me” Eminem CN: So, time’s up – get ready for the correct answers and the answer to the whole quiz. Number 1 was A – for Athens, Greece, where the next Summer Olympics will be held. Number 2 was F – for ”Fallin’”, Alicia Keys’ hit song. Number 3 was G – for General Elections, a little tricky I think… Number 4 was H – for Harare, the Zimbabwean capital city. Number 5 was A – for Argentina. Number 6 was N – for Netherlands, The Netherlands or Holland. Number 7 was I – for Islam. Number 8 was S – for Stitch, as in Disney’s movie Lilo & Stitch. Number 9 was T – for Turkey, and their excellent football team. Number 10 was A – for Asia, the continent where Myanmar is located. And finally 11, which was N – for Nelly Furtado. And the quiz answer this year is – AFGHANISTAN – an Islamic country which, despite severe problems, hopefully will move towards a more democratic rule where men, women and children may live their daily life with enough food to eat and without the threat of war and violence. Hope you’ve enjoyed listening to this quiz as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together. The sampled music you heard in the background between the questions were Eminem’s ”Without Me” and Peter Gabriel’s ”No Way Out”. And here’s some more of Nelly Furtado’s ”On the Radio”. Thanks for listening, and bye for now. Music: ”On the Radio” Nelly Furtado 4 .

  • Lead a Normal Life
    1: Lead A Normal Life “My family arrived in this country from Spain at the time of the Armada, and the story goes we were adopted by Cornish peasants . .” Peter Gabriel, 1974 “My dad is an electrical engineer, inventor type, reserved, shy, analytical, and my mum’s more instinctive, she responds by the moment – music is her big thing. And I’ve got both.” Peter Gabriel, 2000 HEN Peter Gabriel spoke of rather trusting a ‘country man than a Wtown man’ in Genesis’ 1974 song ‘The Chamber Of 32 Doors’, he could well have been talking about his own roots. For in his 63 years (at the time of writing), Gabriel has spent less than a decade living in a city. Although he keeps a residence in West London, Gabriel lives in rustic splendour at his home by his Real World studios in Box near Bath in Wiltshire, which echoes the rural idyll of his childhood in the Surrey countryside. The physical roots of his life could be a metaphor for his semi-detached relationship with showbusiness; near enough, yet far away. Surrey is less than an hour from London and his residence now is less than 15 minutes from the bustling city centre of Bath. He can get into the middle of things easily when he needs to, yet he remains far enough removed. It is not dissimilar to his relationship with the mainstream of popular music. Whenever Gabriel has neared the big time (or indeed, ‘Big Time’, his 1986 hit single) he has been there just enough to receive acclaim and at times, stellar sales, before retreating back to the anonymous comfort of the margins.

  • Get 'Em out by Friday the Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction
    Genesis: Get ‘Em Out By Friday The Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction Depending on where one looks for the information, the original release dates of Genesis singles and albums are often misreported. This article uses several sources, including music paper cuttings, websites and books, to try and determine the most likely release date in the UK for their officially released product issued between 1968 and 1978. For a detailed analysis to be completed beyond 1978 will require the input of others that know that era far better than I with the resources to examine it in appropriate levels of detail. My own collection of source material essentially runs dry after 1978. As most people searching for release dates are likely to go to Wikipedia that is where this search for the truth behind Genesis’ back catalogie. The dates claimed on Wikipedia would themselves have come from a number of sources referenced by contributors over the years but what these references lack is the evidence to back up their claims. This article aims to either confirm or disprove these dates with the added bonus of citing where this information stems from. It’s not without a fair share of assumptions and educated deductions but it offers more on this subject than any previously published piece. The main sources consulted in the writing of this article are as follows: 1. The Genesis File Melody Maker 16 December 1972 2. Genesis Information Newsletter Issue No. 1 October 1976 3. Wax Fax by Barry Lazzell - a series of articles on Genesis releases published in Sounds over several weeks in 1977 4.

  • Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis
    Copyrighted Material 12 Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis MARK SPICER Th e title of this chapter might remind some readers of an article by Andrew Mead that appeared in Perspectives of New Music more than two decades ago (Mead 1985), in which the author used sophisticated set-theoretic analytical techniques to dig beneath the surface of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, disclos- ing a “large-scale strategy” at work within several of the twelve-tone composi- tions. Mead had the advantage of writing for a scholarly community already well convinced of Schoenberg’s genius. I suspect the idea of placing the music of the British rock group Genesis in the same league as Schoenberg would be greeted with considerable skepticism—if not downright horror—by many musicologists, and this is certainly not my intent in the present essay. (Alas, it will probably require some drastic revolutions in taste before such early- Genesis classics as “Th e Return of the Giant Hogweed” are admitted into the canon of twentieth-century masterworks.) But I do hope to show that despite being several musical worlds removed from Schoenberg, Genesis’ music is rich, diverse, and equally worthy of our analytical attention. One of the most infl uential and long-lasting of the so-called “progressive rock” bands that emerged in Britain around 1970 in the wake of the Beatles, Genesis is probably better known to most pop-rock fans as the supergroup who made frequent appearances on the Billboard charts during the 1980s and early 1990s, with

  • Peter Gabriel by W Ill Hermes
    Peter Gabriel By W ill Hermes The multifaceted performer has spent nearly forty years as a solo artist and music innovator. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PETER GABRIELS: THE PROG rocker who steered the cosmos-minded genre toward Earth; the sem i- new waver more focused on empathic storytelling and musical inno­ vation than fashion or attitude; the Top Forty hitmaker ambivalent about the spotlight; the global activist whose Real World label and collaborations introduced pivotal non-Western acts to new audiences; the elder statesman inspiring a new generation of singer-songwrit­ ers. ^ So his second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a solo act this time - his first, in 2010, was as cofounder of the prog-pop juggernaut Genesis - seems wholly earned. Yet it surprised him, especially since he was a no-show that first time: The ceremony took place two days before the notorious perfectionist began a major tour. “I would’ve gone last time if I had not been about to perform,” Gabriel (b. February 13,1950) explained. “I just thought, 1 can’t go. We’d given ourselves very little rehearsal time.’” ^ “It’s a huge honor,” he said of his inclusions, noting that among numerous Grammys and other awards, this one is distinguished ‘because it’s more for your body of work than a specific project.” ^ That body of work began with Genesis, named after the young British band declined the moniker of “Gabriel’s Angels.” They produced their first single (“The Silent Sun”) in the winter of 1968, when Gabriel was 17.

  • ENGLISH Presstext Genesis Classic
    performed by former frontman Ray Wilson "Celebrating 50 Years" RAY WILSON, ex singer of GENESIS, presents their greatest hits and best from his solo career. Not only does 2018 herald 50 years since the birth of one of the world's greatest Rock Bands, Genesis, but it also will be 50 years since the birth of one of the UK's finest vocalists, Ray Wilson. Ray and his band will be performing songs dating all the way back to the early Genesis years, right up to the most recent recordings from the band and his own solo career. Ray's show is well renowned for including some of the best songs from the World of Genesis, during which he also performs a few classics from the solo careers of Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford.
