Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the subject of Pete's 2006 song "Bandstand in the Sky"?

Answer: Musician Jeff Buckley

The track is a poignant tribute to Buckley. The singer and guitarist passed away, as a result of drowning, in 1997. Although Buckley had endured bipolar disorder in the past, prior to the incident he was reported to be in good spirits; he had been working on an album. The coroner ruled his death an accident, not a suicide.

2. What is Pete doing on the cover of his 2006 album, "Nightcrawler"?

Answer: Just sitting there

In the cover photo, he's sitting there, in some part of the process of getting ready for a show. There is music gear all around him. The title is the third in a row to reference successive parts of a day.

3. What Smiths classic has Pete been known to cover live?

Answer: Panic

Pete plays the song on acoustic guitar. He's been known to change the city names in the middle of the song--when he played in Los Angeles, he mentioned them. Nice touch.

6. What song, also from Yorn's debut album, shared a name with a car treatment?
