So, I'm turning to all of you for help.  You're welcome to try your hand at winning the iPod yourself (at least it'll go to a Chromie), or you could just help me out. 

1. Name the all-synth pop band whose founding member went on to form the group who sang about "Chains of Love?"
2. In issue #2 (or #3) of the original Transformers comic book series, what song is Jazz playing on his radio while ignoring Optimus Prime?
3. What guitar amp did Clapton use when recording the 12 note guitar lick in his hit song "Layla"?
4. What piece of electronic music hardware often includes buffalo wings, mozzerella sticks, and fajitas?
5. Name the spoof band whose album appeared in the same movie as the singer whose 1995 album included a song named after a reanimated corpse?
6. What electronic effect did jazz legend Miles Davis use in the '70s? On what color instrument?
7. What color were the CGI girls in the video for Poison's "Unskinny Bop"?
8. Which Brazilian bossa singer cursed and showed his tongue to a huge audience claiming the brand new theater acoustics were not good enough for him?
9. Name the company whose second-generation audio oscillator was used by Disney to test the twelve specially-equipped movie theaters that first showed Fantasia?
10. Is terrestrial broadcast television transmitted in AM or FM?

Good luck!

I just don't think they care. 

Oh, and here is the updated list of questions, as a couple of the questions need re-wording.  I don't think I have question number 5 right.

Gizmodo also says they'll now be dropping hints on their website from time to time.  I figure if they post something that directly leads to an answer, then it's alright to post the answer in public in this thread.

1. Name the all-synth pop band whose founding member went on to form the group who sang about "Chains of Love?"
2. In issue #9 of the original Transformers comic book series (US), what song is Jazz playing on his radio while ignoring Ratchet?
3. What guitar amp did Clapton use when recording the 12 note guitar lick in his hit song "Layla"?
4. What piece of electronic music hardware often includes buffalo wings, mozzerella sticks, and fajitas?
5. Name the spoof band whose album appeared in the same movie as the singer whose 1995 album included a song named after a corpse reanimated by chemicals (or lightning, depending on who you ask)?
6. What electronic effect did jazz legend Miles Davis use in the '70s? On what color instrument?
7. What color were the CGI girls in the video for Poison's "Unskinny Bop"?
8. Which Brazilian bossa singer cursed and showed his tongue to a huge audience claiming the brand new theater acoustics were not good enough for him?
9. Name the company whose second-generation audio oscillator was used by Disney to test the twelve specially-equipped movie theaters that first showed Fantasia?
10. Is terrestrial broadcast television transmitted in AM or FM?

"I think you hear me knocking.  I think I'm coming in.  Quoth the Raven, nevermore!"

Hmm..  It looks like another searcher has turned to Google Answers for help in this contest.  And, with what I have seen on that page, I think that someone found Chromehenge in search of the answers. 

Thanks, Rainbow - both for answers and clarification on site procedures.

I'm not sure if the 2nd answer can be verified as correct - the site
owner clarified the question by saying "The Band's album was in the
movie (as a prop); the movie also starred a
singer who was acting." I'm not sure that Dolores O'Riordan actually
acted in the movie; she had a song ("Liar") that was on the
soundtrack. Also, the album, "No Need to Argue", which contained the
song "Zombie" actually was released in 1994, although the song was
re-released on an enhanced CD, "Doors & Windows" in 1995. Finally, I
think zombies are traditionally raised by spells/black magic; a corpse
reanimated by chemicals or lightning might be more of a
Frankenstein-type monster. There are exceptions: corpses were turned
into zombies by chemicals in "Return of the Living Dead" and by
radiation in "Night of the Living Dead".

So - I could make an argument for your answer if:
1. GWAR's album appears as a prop in the movie
2. Delores O'Riordan actually appears in the movie as an actor

Let me know - thanks!
