Extra-Curricular Canon

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

You will recall that on Monday we spent time talking about pop stars who do OTHER STUFF. Well, having scientifically aggregated the poll results we can now determine exactly which musicians are best at OTHER STUFF, using the time honoured canon format. You get five picks per category except for visual arts, where you only get four. GOOD LUCK.


[Poll #1035527]


ALSO! I posted the Pop Open groups yesterday, for those of you with big friendslists.

ALSO ALSO! That's enough interests now, ta.

ALSO ALSO ALSO! Apparently it is ALEX JAMES who now makes cheese and farms things. Graham Coxon doubtless has many fascinating strings to his bow too though.

Astro PhD submission + playing GSTQ on guitar made out of fireplace and knitting needles on top of Buckingham Palace = OK by me. Even if he has got silly hair and likes Mika a bit too much.

I'm almost certainly going to go back to this and add a vote for Gerard Way when I have read his comic but for now it feels like cheating to vote on the basis that "I have not read it but am sure it will be GREBT".

I have ticked Brian May because I would not know from reading it if his PhD was any good but a proper scientist (i.e. not a Queen fanboy) bigged up his sk1llz in the BBC article.
