Hurricane #1 were a UK indie/Britpop band, formed in 1996 by former Ride guitarist Andy Bell, along with vocalist / guitarist Alex Lowe, bassist Will Pepper and drummer Gareth Farmer. Signed to Creation Records (along with fellow bands such as Oasis, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Primal Scream) they released their debut album in 1997, entitled Hurricane #1. This included their first single, "Step Into My World", which reached number 29 in the UK Singles Chart (and a remix of which reached number 19 in 1997),[1] and other less successful singles "Just Another Illusion" and "Chain Reaction". Their other biggest hit single was "Only The Strongest Will Survive", which also reached number 19 in 1998,[1] and which featured on their second album, Only The Strongest Will Survive.
Bell quit the band in 1999 to become the new guitar player for Gay Dad.

Audition also found its place at the number 11 spot in Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments for its infamous torture scene. It is here that Rob Zombie and John Landis claim that the film is extremely disturbing.

Harold's best friend & roommate, free spirit Kumar, is not afraid to let go of his inhibitions, making Harold the symbolic personification of the suppressed Asian-American employee and student in the United States. Harold, at times, lets go of his inhibitions, but only during moments of extreme duress, to the point where he amazes even the free-spirited Kumar. Harold is the yin to Kumar's yang, with the both of them being united through their enjoyment of cannabis smoking after a long day's work and or leisurely fun (such as aboard an airplane in the sequel, and an after work "Friday night special" in the first film).

The cover photo was taken by Robert Mapplethorpe using natural light in a penthouse in Greenwich Village. The triangle of light on the wall was the product of the afternoon sun. The record company wanted to make various changes to the photo including airbrushing out Patti Smith's moustache but Smith overruled such attempts.

Apparently this is true. General Santa Ana played a key role in inventing chewing gum.
In 1869, exiled former Mexican president and general Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (infamous for his victory over the Alamo defenders) was living in New Jersey. He brought a ton of Mexican chicle with him, in hopes of selling it to raise funds to help him return to power in his own country. He persuaded Thomas Adams of Staten Island, New York to buy it. Adams, a photographer and inventor, intended to vulcanize the chicle for use as a rubber substitute. Adams' efforts at vulcanization failed, but he noticed that Santa Anna liked to chew the chicle, which the ancient Mayans had done. Disappointed with the rubber experiments, Adams boiled a small batch of chicle in his kitchen to create a chewing gum. He gave some to a local store to see if people would buy it; they did and he began production.

"Nothing Gold Can Stay" is one of Robert Frost's most famous poems. Written in 1923 , this poem was published in The Yale Review in October of that year. It was later published in a collection called 'New Hampshire' (1923), which featured other notable poems of Frost such as Two Look at Two and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Some say the poem helped Frost to win a Pulitzer Prize. Only eight lines long, this poem is still considered one of Frost's best. "Nothing Gold Can Stay" is also featured in the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and its film adaptation.
Stylistic devices
The relatively simple rhyme scheme is as follows:AABBCCDD
The poem's meter is Iambic Trimeter.

Delmore Schwartz had the rock star, Lou Reed, as one of his students at Syracuse University and reportedly told Reed at one point, "You can write—and if you ever sell out and there's a Heaven from which you can be haunted, I'll haunt you," and Reed never forgot..[citation needed]

In November 2006, Furtado revealed that she once turned down US$ 500,000 to pose fully-clothed in Playboy.[35]
from the reference:
And although the singer turned it down - she says she still wouldn't rule it out.
"I (was) offered half a million dollars to pose fully clothed," she said. "(To do it would be a) vanity thing, an egotistical thing Its not to say that I would never do it. Its intriguing, its very tempting. Its got to be under the right terms. We will see what happens."

Gay Dad were one of the last UK Britpop bands to be launched in the late 1990s. They generated massive news media interest and had moderate chart success, but they failed to sustain their popularity and broke up in 2002. The best-known line-up of the band (during their most successful period) was Cliff Jones (guitarist/vocalist), James Riseboro (keyboardist), Nigel Hoyle (bassist), Charley Stone (guitarist) and Nicholas "Baz" Crowe (drummer).

Seeing the reference in the Low thread about Travis from Days of the New being on A&E's Intervention ended up leading me to this nugget from the Tantric wiki page:
On March 9th 2009, Tantric announced through MySpace that their new album will be entitled Mind Control and that the band were in the process of recording the album. Produced by Brett Hestla (Creed), they have announced a tentative release date of August 4th, released exclusively through Arby's store locations, with the title track released to radio in June.
Really? Arby's?
