Tom W Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I registered because I loved the site...the facts are very interesting. But are there any more sites that deal with trivia, "did you know...", facts on songs and artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hey Tom & welcome to the boards. I used to post at Rolling Stone with trivial stuff; until some other guy decided it wasn't cool, so I told him "Hey man, your not Mick, so you can't like own Rolling Stone" or the name. That website is nothing but pure $%#@ now. Anyways, apart from Song Facts, there's a few good sites that are specific to Movies, Games, Sports, Marriage, Pregnancy, Medication, etc. etc. It all depends on which catagory you're interested in.

Red Fish Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 http://www.imdb.com/ has some trivia stuff on both artists and movies. Not sure if it's the kind of thing you're looking for, but hey, worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 But are there any more sites that deal with trivia, "did you know...", facts on songs and artists. You might find some threads at these sites... a couple already mentioned - ddd and imdb.com then rateyourmusic.com and able2know.com but this one has less traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom W Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) The reason why I ask is that I'm trying to get a fellow programmer to program me a program that spits out some "off the wall" facts about the song/artist while the music plays along with the standard bio, discography, album art, etc. It makes music far more interesting if this info displays on the visualization screen, questions could pop up at the beginning of the song, then the answer could show up at the end. "Did you know..." facts can fill the middle portion along with the usual bio and discography info. Alot like what's displayed at movie theatres before a movie is played or like what Music Choice (Digital Cable TV Music Channels) displays while the music plays. So obviously I would need sites that keeps a database of the info all organized by artist/title/album and such in order for the program to work properly. Songfact.com seems to be the only one that organizes the "off the wall" facts...glad there is a site like this on the web...but its unfortunate that its the only one of its kind...movies and actors are "out in the cold" on this.

Levis Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 IMDB is definitely the best place for movie/actor trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songfact.com seems to be the only one that organizes the "off the wall" facts...glad there is a site like this on the web... Damn straight Glad to hear you like it here also, it's a pretty solid site, filled with interesting factoids regarding song, posted by people who know & understand "Real Music". This site ownz over all other song message boards, especially those musically-illiterate n00bs at Rolling Stone & MTV.com its unfortunate that its the only one of its kind...movies and actors are "out in the cold" on this. For the 5th time in your thread.. IMDB! __________________________________________________________ Edited July 6, 2006 by Guest I said a curse word & also had to correct some analog info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
