Q7. Abbreviated suits = MGMT   (ManaGeMenT)

I've never heard of them.
BTW, if you're wondering how I got Tom Tom Club out of "abbreviated suits", well I was trying to think of bands with items of clothing in their name, and the best I could come up with was "Menswear", an obscure Britpop band from the '90's.
Then I thought, what if "suits" is a bit of a red herring. So I thought of playing cards suits, and hence "clubs", and Tom is an abbreviation of Thomas. Not bad huh? Now if only it had been correct :P

Q1. Cursed Teachers Hoodoo gurus
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

You probably would've heard MGMT's song KIDZ even as background music to the footy as they went to ad breaks. It's been a fairly heavily played song over the last 12 months.

Hey, does anybody know if it's possible to suggest a piece of music to the programmers at channel nine, or a contact number/e-mail if it is possible. I know a song that would be perfect for next summer's cricket telecast with a gnarly rock beat, and heaps of lyrics alluding to the great game. And it absolutely wouldn't be on their radar at all, because it's so obscure.
I kind of know the guitarist as well,so getting his permission to use it would be easy, and I'm sure he'd love the royalties...

I'm gonna say Crazy Heart, although all I know is that is a movie (is it a movie about a band? Is there another band called Crazy Heart?)....
