Happy Saturday, folks. Hope you’re having a rocking weekend.
I have been working diligently on a new series of reviews. I’m very excited to bring you this next artist. But can you guess who it is, just by the haircuts below? Leave your guess in the comments and prove who knows their rock!
Hmmmm?
We have a winner! Check out the big brain on Brian Zinger (AGAIN!) who nailed this one!
Here are the four tracks:
And here’s my original email to Craig explaining the answer:
“Only the real fans will get this one. I thought it was real cool yesterday when you did the “five play” with “Little Guitars (intro)”. So, here’s 4 VH songs…and when you play them, fans will realize that on the albums, all songs have INSTRUMENTAL INTROS!” 1. “Intruder” 2. “Little Guitars (intro)” 3. “Cathedral” and 4. “1984”
RECORD STORE TALES Mk II: Getting More Tale
#338: Unreleased 4-Play Quiz No. 2
At the conclusion of Record Store Tales, I told the story of how I earned the nickname LeBrain. It started with a contest on the Craig Fee Show (on 107.5 Dave FM) called the 4 O’Clock 4-Play which I dominated. I also sent Craig numerous 4-Plays of my own creation.
The challenge is to figure out the common thread that ties all four songs together. The theme could be anything: lyrical, musical, background trivia, artist related…and I liked to come up with unique themes.
Play the tracks in order as a listener would, and make a guess in the comments section! Be specific.
Good luck!
Congrats to Brian Zinger for the win!

RECORD STORE TALES Mk II: Getting More Tale
#325: Unreleased 4-Play Quiz No. 1
At the conclusion of Record Store Tales, I told the story of how I earned the nickname LeBrain. It’s a fairly common question. It all came down to a contest on the Craig Fee Show (on 107.5 Dave FM) called the 4 O’Clock 4-Play…which I dominated. I was the undisputed champion. I had more wins under my belt than anyone, including two wins on the very first song. I also sent Craig numerous 4-Plays of my own creation, some of which still haven’t been used yet. I thought it would be fun to post one or two that I especially liked. Here’s my favourite.
The challenge is to figure out the common thread that ties all four songs together. I had to choose songs that Dave FM would be willing to play. This one isn’t overly difficult (although I may have thrown a curveball in there), but I did enjoy constructing it. So put yourselves in the shoes of a listener, and trying to figure out the theme one song at a time. Also keep in mind that Craig would not tell you what song he is about to play. A casual listener could easily mistake the Freddie Mercury track for Queen, or the David Lee Roth song for Van Halen. This could potentially affect your guess. But the theme could be anything: lyrical, musical, background trivia, artist…and I liked to come up with unique themes.

I’ll post the answer right here later today, so check back. Good luck! Take a swing at the piñata and post a guess!
