i got a 100% on this bostonian-to-english quiz but i grew up near boston..... i'm curious what you guys get. there's a couple things in here i didn't even know are regionalisms + a couple things i hadn't heard before but could parse pretty easily from context. tag/reply with what you got and if you're familiar with the area or not!

I don’t think i will ever get tired of david bennett piano beatles quizzes
Iykyk
I think Travels in Nihilon is the best song ever made
eating so much candy my teeth hurt listening to boston self titled perfect album
Phil Collins could (can) do Apocalypse in 9/8 but Peter Gabriel couldn’t do the Duke’s Travels Guide Vocal reprise
brad delp singer of boston fronting a beatles tribute band is insanely good and makes me happy
Yay ranking party if I had to rank Duke it would be
That was so hard

XTC
Ty!!! I love XTC
Do I know them already?: yes | no
Potentially could go higher considering they’re one of my top-priority get-into-this-more bands rn and also Andy Partridge is one of the people ever
graveyarding asked:
Genesis for the ask game ?
@carlpalmer also asked me this so here you go :)
Am I a fan?: No what makes you think that
First song I heard by them?: Well That’s All from the radio probably, but also when I was a kid my mom used to listen to A Trick of the Tail (the album) a lot plus random songs like Just a Job to Do and the Three Sides Live versions of Turn It On Again and The Lamb title track, so something in there.
Favorite song?: Supper’s Ready, A Trick of the Tail, Guide Vocal + Duke’s Travels (well the entire Duke suite really), Los Endos, Unquiet Slumbers + Quiet Earth (+ Afterglow), Dodo/Lurker, The Fountain of Salmacis, Home by the Sea + Second Home by the Sea, Dance on a Volcano, the live In the Cage medley (+ Afterglow), and for a current (as opposed to certified all-time) favorite, Deep in the Motherlode has really been growing on me lately. Also everything (OH WAIT AND WHO DUNNIT)
Favorite album?: In no particular order, A Trick of the Tail, Nursery Cryme, and Duke. Then the next tier is probably like, Wind & Wuthering and Mama or self-titled or whatever you want to call it, and then after that it’d be like Abacab and Foxtrot and I gueeeeeess Selling England. Etc. Most recently I’ve been in my “listen to [intimidatingly dense album] on repeat till it’s baked into my brain” phase with And Then There Were Three. Still getting there. What was the question again
Favorite music video?: A Trick of the Tail will always be adorable. Robbery Assault & Battery is great too. OH and Jesus He Knows Me is like, the peak of iconicity. That might actually be my favorite full stop. Oh and I Can’t Dance is so good too
Have any merch?: Mhm I’ve got some CDs + records and a t-shirt or two. I really oughta get more stuff. Oh and I have Mike’s book but digitally not physically
Seen them live?: Yeah :,) I saw them back in December and if I talk about it any more than that I will cry
Favorite member?: Ehh idk tbh. Completely unrelated somebody should send me Tony Banks as a separate ask for this game
