Burning The Candle At Both Ends (Meta)

· Por benchen71 · Publicado 2024-12-03T05:00:43.904Z

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a well-known Australian band
We're back into "week 1" territory here. I could have made this harder, but I've tried to put lots of hints in to dial down the difficulty. The answer to the meta is a well-known Australian band; but don't be put off by "Australian" - you will have heard of them (at least, you should have heard of them!)
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

    I guess I'm burning the midnight oil, but it's still early out on the West Coast. Nice puzzle!
    • Berto 1s · 2024-12-03T09:07:14.061Z
      Thought it was going to be INXS at first lol. Band sounds familiar, will have to listen to a couple of hits to see if I really know them..
      • benchen71 constructor · 2024-12-03T10:24:05.312Z
        Check out "Beds are burning". I think that was their biggest international hit.
      • woozy 9:50 · 2024-12-03T06:04:28.627Z
        "you will have heard of them (at least, you should have heard of them!)"
        Um... seriously?
        Anyway fun puzzle. And pretty breezy. Like the title and the metanism. Can't tell if you are joking about claiming we will have heard of them.
        • boharr 3s · 2024-12-03T13:43:48.145Z
          You are correct. I never heard of this band.
          • Cindy Heisler 4s · 2024-12-03T14:14:17.305Z
            I was surprised that I could actually solve one about a musical band and not have to use Google. Fun! Thanks, Ben!
            • Dave C 4s · 2024-12-03T15:28:06.281Z
              I have not heard of them, but Mr. Google confirmed.
              • Clark E. Tripe 7:19 · 2024-12-03T15:35:10.645Z
                One of my favorite Australian bands, Ben! Nice job!
                • kurtalert 🤓6:33 · 2024-12-03T16:09:59.582Z
                  Thanks Ben!
                  • imontoo 3s · 2024-12-03T16:19:57.429Z
                    I have not heard of this band. But, I would not call myself a music aficionado. The middle of the three long answers jumped out at me and Google confirmed. Thanks, Ben.
                    • Morendil 🤓5:54 · 2024-12-03T17:46:30.327Z
                      The time has come…
                      • DrTom 4s · 2024-12-03T18:11:46.915Z
                        No the fist Aussie band I thought of, but a clean mechanism amidst a very "educational" fill. I am adding MYRIMIDONS to my vocabulary. LOTS of Easter Eggs with the group's hit songs. Was ARIA also an EE because they have won numerous ARIA awards. I was looking for PETER or BALD in the grid too, guess there is a limit to how many you can provide. Fun Tuesday; now I have to follow that with something good.
                        • Qmark 3s · 2024-12-03T15:13:24.842Z
                          Definitely an "Oiler!"...have always loved this band and definitely exposed my (now adult) children to their tunes as they were growing up! (Knew the answer from your clever title and description, but loved the solve even knowing where you were going). Also loved the shout outs to just some of the many important songs of theirs in your clues and the center of the edges of your grid. It gave me a reason to revisit their videos on YouTube and some interviews with PG. Thanks so much, Ben!
                          • hoover 5s · 2024-12-03T15:59:51.736Z
                            Didn't see anything, Googled famous Australian bands, was about to submit AC/DC for no reason whatsoever, saw Midnight Oil and thought, hey, that is something that gets burned, like in the title, went back to the grid and backsolved the MID NIGHT OIL from the themers. Then remembered the song about beds are burning... I think.
                            • MatthewL 🤓8:15 · 2024-12-03T17:04:04.423Z
                              Was so sure it was going to be Men at Work (puzzle title works for that too). But that was probably too obvious. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!
                              • HeadinHome 🤓1:19 · 2024-12-03T19:12:33.080Z
                                Not unlike the TUR DUC KEN ruse. ( :
                                Well done - thanks for the fun!
                                • KayW 🤓6:21 · 2024-12-04T01:30:45.794Z
                                  Wow! I have heard of them! Tho I wasn't aware they're Australian. The "alternate title" hint helped aLOT. But I love the current title and the way it applies to both the band and the metanism. Fun one. Thanks, Ben!
                                  • Darth 9:51 · 2024-12-04T15:20:53.338Z
                                    New for me, but the answer popped out and I didn't need to Google. :D Thanks, Ben!
