@TruePopFacts' TopPopTips! Love the trapped-air sound of vinyl but get annoyed with all the pops and clicks? Simply sand down your records for a tone smoother than Luther Vandross!
@AnnieLennox has never tried eggs. #truepopfacts
Everyone here at TPF Towers has enjoyed their summer fortnight holiday, and we're back to, more eager than ever to fill your brains only the finest, most thought-provoking, fascinating facts! And you better believe our first one will be a DOOZY! #truepopfacts
US Farmer Clayton Wexley conducted an experiment to see if playing music effected the growth of his corn. Did it? You betcha! The corn did not like jazz star @KamasiW, but DID respond to @kennyloggins, leading to a 6% increase in yield! Turns out Corn loves Pop! #truepopfacts
#FACTATTACK! - @eltonofficial's allergic to peas - @adamlevine can ride a bike, but won't - @kylieminogue's favourite biscuit is the chocolate Hobnob Phew! #truepopfacts
Move over Hoddle & Waddle! There is an ex-pro who became a real pop superstar! He "bent" in 12 goals for Ipswich Town helping "shape" 3 seasons there. Who is it? Why Amen Corner's Andy Fairweather Low, of course! #truepopfacts
#MisnomerTime! Nobody in @thekillers has a criminal record, let alone killed anyone, and nobody in @thebreeders have any children. However @HowlinPelle from @the_hives does suffer from the skin condition. "It can be a nightmare, especially when it's humid," he said. #truepopfacts
@RitaOra has a false leg. "From knee to hip on my right leg is pure teak, but it will never hold me back!" said the pop sensation. She's dead right! #truepopfacts
Born in Cardiff in 1948, despite being constantly told that someone from Wales could never a be a pop star, Robert Brine dreamed of being on Top of The Pops. Unfortunately, he never was, but Shakin Stevens appeared regularly, so technically the naysayers were wrong. #truepopfacts
In 2015, a manuscript of John Cage's was found showing "4:33" was initially going to be a piece, not of silence, but of contrasts; 4:34 onwards being musical. The 2nd, musical, movement has now been performed, available to the public to hear. youtu.be/dmpfbMhwmkw #truepopfacts
Bigger than both Gorillaz or The Archies, the most popular fictional band of all time is @CrowdedHouseHQ. Brainchild of conceptual artist Gert Bixley, his idea that "two bickering brothers from NZ, that people think are from Oz, will be a winner!" He wasn't wrong! #truepopfacts
What's the frequency? 1224Hz! But why, and who is Kenneth? Of course, here at TPF Towers, we have all the answers. If only there was some way to give you guys a clue to who makes this noise... #truepopfacts
Happy Birthday @KateBushMusic, 60 today! 'KB' was the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written, book-based song, but is also famed for a 12-year gap between albums. "I just couldn't be sh*ted with it all." Well, TPF are glad you came back! #truepopfacts
ZZ Top are famed for their big riffs and long beards, but only 2 members of the group, Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill, actually play riffs. The third member plays drums, but can you guess what his name is? It's Trevor BIGRIFF! #truepopfacts
In 1963, a New York Theremin-maker changed the face of Pop forever. Whilst studying at the Columbia-Princeton Music Centre, Robert Moog designed voltage controlled oscillators and ADSR envelope generators, leading to the manufacture of the word's first Rick Wakeman. #truepopfacts
Like many popstars, James Dean Bradfield changed his name, incorporating the name of his heroes: James Bond, the international spy, and John Bradfield, the 13th Century Bishop of Rochester. Far better than his birth name, boring old James Dean! Not very rock n roll! #truepopfacts
Truro in Cornwall may be one of England's smallest Cities, but it's had a BIG impact on pop music: @duranduran's Roger Taylor is from there, as is Mick Hucknall, @ChakaKhan, and most famously of all, Kenny Rogers! Not bad for a city of less than 20,000! #truepopfacts
The famous "Chck, chka-chkaah" from Yello's "Oh Yeah," was an accident! Session musician, Randy Buxom: "I wasn't even a pro 'chka' singer, I was just trying stuff out in the background when Boris [Blank] heard it & was like "'That's the riff! Turn THAT up!'" #Truepopfacts
Few popstars show their spiritual side quite like @belindaofficial: 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' is the obvious nod, but did you know '(We Want) The Same Thing' was inspired by the Dr Martin Luther King speech, & 'Leave A Light On' is a metaphor for going to heaven? #truepofacts
Famously, @ringostarrmusic provided the narration for Thomas the Tank Engine, but did you know he also provided all the voices for stop-motion classic 'Bertha,' and Wooly the rabbit in 'Wizbit?' Wizbit himself was of course famously played by @PaulMcCartney . #truepopfacts
