title: Vivaldi (web browser)

text: Vivaldi features the ability to "stack" and "tile" tabs, annotate web pages, and add notes to bookmarks. Furthermore, users can place digital bookmarks on a "speed dial" page for quick access and harness "quick commands" to search bookmarks, browsing history, open tabs, and settings. Vivaldi is built around and based on web technologies such as HTML5, Node.js, React.js, and numerous NPM modules. As of Technical Preview 4, Vivaldi also supports numerous mouse gestures for actions like tab switching and keyboard activation. Vivaldi can also be set to a "Chromeless UI", which gives users more screen real-estate and the ability to focus on a single page without distractions. To accommodate users who prefer to use a large number of tabs at the same time, Vivaldi supports hibernation for both individual tabs and for tab stacks, freeing resources while the user does not actively use those tabs.


title: Vivaldi (web browser)

text: Vivaldi can use many browser extensions developed for Google Chrome and Firefox (they use common WebExtensions API), and users can install extensions directly from the Chrome Web Store. Most of these work properly in Vivaldi, with the exception of user interface customizations due to its visual changes to the Chromium source code.


title: Vivaldi (web browser)

text: Starting with version 2.10, Vivaldi changed its user agent string to mimic a generic build of Chromium, which results in it not being recorded as a unique browser and causing a decrease in its recorded market share.


title: Vivaldi (web browser)

text: "Ars Technica" reviewer Scott Gilbertson wrote about version 1.0 in April 2016. He praised its innovative features, such as its tab handling, while noting that it will most likely remain a niche browser and not see widespread uptake. In October 2018, Gilbertson gave version 2.0 a very positive review and stated that Vivaldi is now his usual browser and that he would be hard put to go back to a browser without its unique features.

text: "Ghacks" editor-in-chief Martin Brinkmann wrote about the privacy of Vivaldi in January 2018. He criticized the lack of an opt-out option for the unique user ID it generates to get general statistics about the browser's userbase, but commented that the unique ID "is easy enough to delete" and "it is different anyway if you use Vivaldi on multiple devices".


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: Young Justice: Outsiders is the third season of the American animated superhero series "Young Justice", developed by Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman. The series follows the lives of teenage superheroes and sidekicks who are members of a covert operation group, referred to simply as "The Team", that acts as a young counterpart to the famous adult team, the Justice League. In the second season, "Invasion", the Reach revealed the existence of the meta-gene. Following on from these events, the third season focuses on the Team battling metahuman trafficking as various nations and organizations have started participating in such activities. It also features the superhero team Outsiders.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: "Young Justice" originally aired on Cartoon Network for two seasons from 2010 to 2013, before being cancelled due to low toy sales and Mattel pulling funding. Following a strong fan campaign and high viewership ratings on Netflix, the series was officially renewed for a third season by Warner Bros. in November 2016. Development on "Outsiders" began the next month. By July 2017, it was split into two separate sections/arcs, each consisting of 13 episodes, making a total of 26 for the whole season.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: The first half of the season was released between January 4 and 25, 2019, on DC's new digital platform, DC Universe, for a total of 13 episodes. The second half of the season, consisting of the remaining 13 episodes, premiered on July 2, 2019. During the "Young Justice" portion of the DC Universe panel at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, executive producers Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti announced that production for the fourth season titled "Phantoms" is already underway to continue the story after "Outsiders". The fourth season premiered on HBO Max on October 16, 2021.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: In January 2013, Cartoon Network had meetings with potential clients and promotional partners in which they announced their 2013–14 programming lineup with "Young Justice" being absent. A Warner Bros. Animation representative confirmed in an interview with Newsarama the cancellation of both "Young Justice" and "", with the DC Nation block replacing the series with "Teen Titans Go!" and "Beware the Batman". While a fan-campaign was created in the hopes of financing continuations for both shows, Warner Bros. halted the campaign in May as they did not believe the goal could be reached.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: In December 2013, Kevin Smith and Paul Dini claimed in an episode of Smith's podcast "Fatman on Batman", that "Young Justice" was cancelled due to the program's high female viewership, as network executives did not believe girls would buy toys based on the show. Greg Weisman however denied this rumor and in a January 2016 episode of "The Hip-Hop Nerd" podcast, revealed the real reason why it was canceled. The show's funding was based on a toy deal with the toy company Mattel and due to low toy-sales, Mattel pulled the funding. With no other source of income to replace the money Mattel provided, the series was effectively canceled.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: The possibility of "Young Justice" revival first occurred in early February 2016 when the series' second season was released on Netflix, with Weisman urging fans to watch all episodes "over and over" or buy the Blu-rays if they wished for a third season. Weisman later clarified that while neither Warner Bros. nor Netflix had expressed interest in picking up the show for a third season, high viewership on Netflix could motivate Warner Bros. into renewing the show. During June, Weisman revealed that the possibility of "Young Justice" being renewed was "very real" but noted that fans needed to keep the show trending in order to convince Warner and Netflix of its potential.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: On November 7, 2016, it was officially confirmed by Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Digital Series, that "Young Justice" was renewed for a third season, stating that the dedicated fanbase and "[its] rallying cry for more episodes" resonated with them. It was also confirmed that Weisman and Brandon Vietti would be returning as showrunners.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: Weisman revealed in December 2016, that he and Vietti had already started working on the show's third season, and that the series would pick up story elements from the first two seasons, as well as the tie-in comic series. On February 27, 2017, Phil Bourassa—lead character designer of "Young Justice"—revealed that he had begun working on the third season. A week later, he revealed that some scripts had already been completed. On April 25, it was announced that the show's third season would be titled "Young Justice: Outsiders" and would debut on DC's new digital service. In late May, it was revealed that Chris Copeland joined the crew as a storyboard artist.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: "Outsiders" had its own panel at San Diego Comic-Con International 2017 on July 21. During the panel, which was presented by Weisman, Vietti and Bourassa, they revealed that the first 12 scripts had already been finalized, ten were still being written and four more had not been started yet; this brought the total number of episodes for "Outsiders" to 26. The team's current roster was also revealed, consisting of: Static, Kid Flash, Robin, Wonder Girl, Spoiler, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, and Arsenal as well as new characters Arrowette and Thirteen. It was also revealed that Dick Grayson / Nightwing, Artemis Crock, and Superboy would all be returning. Vandal Savage and the Light were confirmed to return. Regarding the all-black stealth suits worn by Nightwing, Artemis, Superboy, and Black Lightning, Bourassa stated that they are connected to Nightwing's story arc from the second season. The show jumps forward a few years.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: Due to "Young Justice: Outsiders" airing on a streaming service rather than a television channel, it would "skew more adult to keep up with the characters as they age". When discussing the third season additions to "The Team" and its line-up, Weisman said that while the show would continue to focus on the characters introduced in the first season, they also wanted to introduce new characters as "Young Justice" is "a show about generations". According to Vietti, "Outsiders" would revisit ideas that he and Weisman had originally planned while making the first two seasons of the show.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: The first voice actor confirmed to return was Khary Payton as Aqualad in February 2017. It was later revealed in April that voice work on "Outsiders" had started. In May, Alyson Stoner was later confirmed to return. In June, Nolan North revealed that he had recorded five episodes. In July, Marina Sirtis confirmed she would return to voice Queen Bee. Some actors did not reprise their roles. Miguel Ferrer who originally voiced Vandal Savage died in January 2017. He was succeeded in the role by David Kaye. Tim Curry who voiced G. Gordon Godfrey suffered a stroke in July 2012 that affected his voice. He was replaced by James Arnold Taylor. The show's voice work is recorded at Bang Zoom! Studios, succeeding at Studiopolis where the first two seasons were recorded at.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: As with the previous seasons, Weisman confirmed that studios in South Korea are working on the animations. Digital eMation, another Korean studio which haven't worked on the series before, was also confirmed to be animating certain episodes. Post-release credits have shown that DR Movie and Digital eMation (credited as eMation) have worked on alternating episodes, and none of the studios from the first two seasons were involved in the production. The episodes "Nightmare Monkeys" and "Illusion of Control" were entirely animated by Studio Mir.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: "Young Justice: Outsiders" premiered on January 4, 2019, on DC Universe, DC Comics' new digital media service. The first 13 episodes were released throughout January, with three episodes being released every Friday except January 25, where four episodes were released. The second half of 13 episodes premiered on July 2, 2019. In November 2017, it was announced that "Outsiders" would premiere "sometime after September", during the fourth quarter of 2018, but was pushed back to 2019 in June 2018.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: A panel to promote "Outsiders" was held at San Diego Comic-Con International (SDCC) on July 21, 2017, and was attended by Greg Weisman, Brandon Vietti and Phil Bourassa. At the panel, two pieces of artwork were released, showcasing the main members of the Team, which included three new characters. Additionally, new designs for Nightwing, Artemis, Superboy, and Black Lightning were also shown. Another panel was held at SDCC on July 20, 2018. The panel was once again attended by Weisman, Vietti, and Bourassa, alongside voice actors Troy Baker, and Stephanie Lemelin. During the panel, the first trailer was released, introducing numerous new characters.


title: Young Justice: Outsiders

text: On August 31, 2018, it was announced that a DLC level pack based on the series would be integrated for "Lego DC Super-Villains". The level pack was released on May 14, 2019, where it served as an abridged version of the season two episode, "Summit".

text: The second half of "Outsiders" was promoted at RTX during the weekend of July 5, 2019 in Austin, Texas at the Austin Convention Center.


title: Pallas (Titan)

text: In Greek mythology, Pallas (; ) was, according to Hesiod, the son of the Titans Crius and Eurybia, the brother of Astraeus and Perses, the husband of Styx, and the father of Zelus ("Zeal" or "Emulation"), Nike ("Victory"), Kratos ("Strength" or "Power"), and Bia ("Might" or "Force"). Hyginus says that Pallas, whom he calls "the giant", also fathered with Styx: Scylla, Fontus ("Fountains") and Lacus ("Lakes"). Pallas was sometimes regarded as the Titan god of warcraft and of the springtime campaign season.


title: Pallas (Titan)

text: The "Homeric Hymn" "To Hermes" makes the moon goddess Selene (usually the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia), the daughter of a Pallas, son of (an otherwise unknown) Megamedes, which is possibly the same as this Pallas. Ovid uses the patronymic "Pallantias" or "Pallantis" as another name for Aurora, the Roman equivalent of the Greek Eos ("Dawn"), who was the sister of Selene; Ovid apparently regarding Aurora (or Eos) as the daughter of (or otherwise related to) Pallas.


title: Pallas (Titan)

text: The "Suda" in discussing Athena's epithet "Pallas" suggests a possible derivation "from brandishing ("pallein") the spear". The geographer Pausanias reports that Pellene, a city in Achaea, was claimed by its inhabitants to be named after Pallas, while the Argives claimed it was named for the Argive Pellen.


title: Cassia fistula

text: Cassia fistula, commonly known as golden shower, purging cassia, Indian laburnum, or pudding-pipe tree, is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. The species is native to the Indian subcontinent and adjacent regions of Southeast Asia, from southern Pakistan through India and Sri Lanka to Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand. It is a popular ornamental plant and is also used in herbal medicine.


title: Cassia fistula

text: The golden shower tree is a medium-sized tree, growing to tall with fast growth. The leaves are deciduous, long, and pinnate with three to eight pairs of leaflets, each leaflet long and broad. The flowers are produced in pendulous racemes long, each flower diameter with five yellow petals of equal size and shape. The fruit is a legume, long and broad, with a pungent odor and containing several seeds. The tree has strong and very durable wood, and has been used to construct "Ehela Kanuwa", a site at Adam's Peak, Sri Lanka, which is made of "C. fistula" ("ahala, ehela", or "aehaela", ඇහැල in Sinhala ) heartwood. The golden shower tree is not a nitrogen fixer.


title: Cassia fistula

text: "Cassia fistula" is widely grown as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical areas. It blooms in late spring/earlysummer in hot, dry weather. Flowering is profuse, with trees being covered with yellow flowers, many times with almost no leaf being seen. It grows well in dry climates. Growth for this tree is best in full sun on well-drained soil; it is relatively drought-tolerant and slightly salt-tolerant. It will tolerate light brief frost, but can get damaged if the cold persists. It can be subject to mildew or leaf spot, especially during the second half of the growing season. The tree blooms better with pronounced differences between summer and winter temperatures.


title: Cassia fistula

text: Various species of bees and butterflies are known to be pollinators of "C. fistula" flowers, especially carpenter bees ("Xylocopa" sp.). In 1911, Robert Scott Troup conducted an experiment to determine how the seeds of "C. fistula" are dispersed. He found that golden jackals feed on the fruits and help in seed dispersal.


title: Cassia fistula

text: In India, flowers of the golden shower tree are sometimes eaten by people. The leaves have also been used to supplement the diets of cattle, sheep, and goats fed with low-quality forages.


title: Cassia fistula

text: In Ayurvedic medicine, the golden shower tree is known as "aragvadha", meaning "disease killer". The fruit pulp is considered a purgative, and self-medication or any use without medical supervision is strongly advised against in Ayurvedic texts. Though it has been used in herbalism for millennia, little research has been conducted in modern times, although it is an ingredient in some mass-produced herbal laxatives. When used as such, it is known as "cassia pods".


title: Cassia fistula

text: "Cassia fistula" is both the national tree and national flower of Thailand – in Thai "ratchaphruek" (Thai: ราชพฤกษ์) and the blossoms commonly referred to as "dok khun" (Thai: ดอกคูน). Its yellow flowers symbolize Thai royalty. A 2006–2007 flower festival, the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek, was named after the tree. "Cassia fistula" is also featured on a 2003 joint Canadian-Thai design for a 48-cent stamp, part of a series featuring national emblems.


title: Cassia fistula

text: The Indian laburnum is the state flower of Kerala. The flowers are of ritual importance in the Vishu festival of Kerala. The tree has been depicted on a 20-rupee stamp. The tree is frequently cultivated in Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka where the Sinhala name is "Ehela", ඇහැල.


title: Cassia fistula

text: In Laos, its blooming flowers known locally as "dok khoun" are associated with the Lao New Year. People use the flowers as offerings at the temple and also hang them in their homes for the New Year in belief that the flowers will bring happiness and good luck to the households.


title: Cassia fistula

text: The laburnum is the school tree of National Taiwan Normal University, thought to be because of the seed pods' similarity to the whips used by teachers in times past.

title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: Daylight is a 1996 American action thriller disaster film directed by Rob Cohen and starring Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Dan Hedaya, Stan Shaw, Jay O. Sanders, Karen Young and Danielle Harris. The film was released by Universal Pictures on December 6, 1996, in the United States, and on December 26 in the United Kingdom. It received mixed reviews and grossed $159 million worldwide.


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: In upstate New York, a waste management firm loads barrels of toxic waste onto trucks, intending to illegally dispose of them at a site in New Jersey. They are shown heading into a tunnel beneath the Hudson River along with several commuters, including struggling playwright Maddy Thompson, a bus of juvenile offenders, a vacationing family, an elderly couple with a dog, and sporting goods retailer Roy Nord. Meanwhile, a gang of grunges grabs gems from a gem buyer after mugging him and takes his car to escape the NYPD by racing into the tunnel. The gang force their way through the north tube traffic where the driver loses control and smashes through a security booth and into one of the trucks, causing it to detonate, and resulting in a sympathetic detonation of the remaining trucks. The tunnel entrances cave in, and a devastating fireball sweeps through the tunnel, incinerating the majority of the motorists within it.


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: About to enter the Manhattan end of the tunnel, former New York City Emergency Medical Services Chief Kit Latura, now working as a taxi driver, witnesses the fireball erupting from the entrance. While racing to help whoever he can, he runs into an old EMS colleague who tells him that the tunnel is severely damaged and could collapse if any wrong moves are made. Kit then checks with tunnel administrators and finds that most of the old exits have been sealed off or are considered unsafe. Kit makes his way into the tunnel through the ventilation system, risking his life as the massive fans can only be slowed down for a short time.


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: A group of survivors band around Nord, who believes he can find a way out through the mid-river passage, a service corridor running between the north and south tubes. Kit arrives and warns Nord that the passage could come down at any moment, but Nord dismisses the possibility. Kit barely escapes as the passage collapses, killing Nord and causing another explosion which kills a juvenile offender.


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: Water begins seeping in from the river above, and Kit uses an explosive to stop the leak. Police officer George Tyrell returns from investigating the Manhattan end and is crushed under a truck as the road shifts. The group manages to free him before he can drown, but he is left with a broken neck. The water level continues to rise, and the angry survivors confront Kit. He claims he can slow it down but not stop it, as the clean-up effort on the Manhattan side of the tunnel is causing water to enter their side. Kit recalls that there are sleeping quarters beside the tunnels (leftover from the tunnel's construction) and asks George how to access them. Kit finds one by swimming under a security booth and leads the group to this area, but George has to be left behind. He gives Kit a bracelet intended for his girlfriend Grace and tells him to "get them to daylight."


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: Eleanor, one of the elderly survivors, is distressed that her late son's dog Cooper is missing. She refuses to go on, then suddenly yet quietly passes away, presumably from hypothermia. The group moves to another room as the first one floods, convincing Eleanor's husband Roger to come with them. As they reach the top of an old wooden staircase, Kit notices Cooper swimming in the water below and dives down to rescue him, passing him up to one of the survivors, but a beam falls and destroys the lower half, sending Kit into the water. Maddy tries to help Kit up, but she falls as well, as more of the staircase is knocked down. Kit orders the rest of the group to leave. The majority of the group escape through a manhole into daylight while the corridor caves in behind them, leaving Kit and the hysterical Maddy behind in the rising water.


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: Kit and Maddy swim around looking for a possible way out, with the main highway tunnel now almost completely submerged. Kit realizes he will have to use his explosives to cause a "blow out" and rip the tunnel roof open. A mass of mud crushes Kit and Maddy tries to pull him out. The blast forces Maddy towards the surface, but Kit gets stuck in the mud. Maddy finds a barely conscious Kit and keeps him afloat as a boat discovers them offshore. Lying on a stretcher, Kit sees Grace in the crowd and hands her George's bracelet. Maddy insists on riding with him in the ambulance to which Kit replies, "On one condition: We gotta take the bridge."


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: In summer 1995, prior to starring in "Daylight", Sylvester Stallone was in talks to star in a different film, an action thriller titled "High Roller", which was described as ""Die Hard (1988)" in a casino", in which he would play an Italian ex-hitman and a gambler who is inside some Las Vegas casino when it gets taken over by mobsters led by his former boss who also kidnap the casino owner, and he has to stop them and protect casino owner's daughter. J.F. Lawton, who a few years earlier wrote the very successful "Die Hard" rip-off "Under Siege" (1992), wrote the original spec script for "High Roller", which he sold to Savoy Pictures for $1 million against $2,5 million in July 1995. The project got some attention after it was reported how Savoy signed Stallone for a paycheck of $20 million. Savoy also wanted Stallone to star in another film they were working on titled "Firestorm", which would have been about a firefighter who goes into a forest fire to save a female senator who gets kidnapped by an escaped convict. But pretty soon after Stallone got attached to that project as well, Savoy went bankrupt. The original script by Chris Soth was later bought by 20th Century Fox and was re-written by other writers before it was finally made into "Firestorm" starring Howie Long, which turned into box office bomb. J.F Lawton's original "High Roller" spec also went through "tug of war" between several other studios who were trying to buy the rights for it in August 1996, but it still never got made.


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: Once "High Roller" was cancelled, Stallone went on to star in "Daylight" which was in development at Universal Pictures, but before the production on it began in September 1995, in August Stallone already got involved in another action film project with Universal. Much like "High Roller", it was another "Die Hard" rip-off, titled "No Safe Haven", and it was described as ""Die Hard" (1988) on Martha's Vineyard". The script for it was written by two first time writers: Drew Yanno (who at the time was a lawyer) and his friend Anthony Borghi (who was a real estate broker). The script was about a disgraced ex-marine who goes back to his home at Martha's Vineyard to patch up the relationship with his mother. At the same time, the U.S. president and his family are vacationing on the island. The island is soon taken over by a militia terrorist group, led by a "David Koresh-like cult leader". While his wife and daughter are kidnapped, the President manages to escape. He and the ex-marine team up to battle the cult militia and save the President's family. The entire film would take place during a storm on the island. The script was apparently liked so much by everyone, in particular the plot idea of the President as a sidekick to the main hero in an action film, that it was on the market for only 24 hours before it was bought by Universal for $300,000 after an eight-hours-long bidding war between the studios for it in August 1995. Yanno and Borghi were going to get an additional $300,000 when the film was made, and they had already started to work on re-writes based on some notes they got from studio and producers when Stallone got attached to star in the film in the ex-marine role. "No Safe Haven" was possibly going to be his next film at Universal after "Daylight". A few months later, Universal stopped working on the project, and just like "High Roller", "No Safe Haven" was also never made.

text: The film was released by MCA/Universal Home Video on VHS & LaserDisc with a digital DTS soundtrack on May 20, 1997.

title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: The film has a 26% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 42 reviews and an average rating of 4.9 out of 10. The critical consensus reads: "The opening's got a great fiery explosion and Stallone puts in another earnest, sympathetic performance, but all else in "Daylight" feels designed to annoy the audience into submission."


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: There were, however, some moderate and positive reviews. Roger Ebert gave the film two stars out of four, commenting, ""Daylight" is the cinematic equivalent of a golden oldies station, where you never encounter anything you haven't grown to love over the years. At one point, when a trapped civilian asks him if they have a chance, I expected him to say, 'Calm down, lady. I've done this in a dozen other movies.'" "Empire" gave the film four stars out of five, stating, ""Daylight" is great because it never tries to be any more than it is — a disaster movie with all the special-effects hoopla the '90s can bring." Randy Edelman's musical score was also praised.


title: Daylight (1996 film)

text: The film won a Golden Reel Award for best Sound Editing and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category (Richard L. Anderson and David A. Whittaker). It was also nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards, Worst Actor (Sylvester Stallone) and Worst Original Song ("Whenever There Is Love"). For the 1996 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards, Stallone was nominated for Worst Actor too.

Two years later, he was temporarily blinded as a result of abuse from his mother’s boyfriend. He later regained sight in one eye. When he was 15 the house in which he had lived for most of his life burned down.

text: Croce's first paying gig was at the age of 12, when he was paid $20 (worth $53.45 in 2019) to perform at a bar mitzvah party. By the age of 16, Croce was performing regularly at San Diego nightclubs as a sideman and band leader. Croce reflected, "I was into every kind of music... you might say I was unfocused, but I consider an eclectic taste in music to be the foundation of versatility."


title: A. J. Croce

text: Ron Goldstein and Peter Baumann of Private Music signed Croce to his first recording contract, at age 19. He recorded two albums for Private Music: his self-titled debut, "A. J. Croce", produced by T-Bone Burnett and John Simon; and "That's Me in the Bar", produced by Jim Keltner, and featuring Ry Cooder and David Hidalgo. Croce is also the owner/operator of his own record label, Seedling Records.


title: A. J. Croce

text: Croce's third album, "Fit to Serve", was recorded in Memphis and produced by Jim Gaines, who produced Van Morrison, Santana, and the Steve Miller Band. Croce then made a musical change with the release of his album "Transit". He explained, "I had been playing blues-based music for a long time, and I was ready to try something new." "Transit" was compared by critics to the work of John Lennon, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, and Van Morrison. Glen Starkey of "New Times" labeled Croce "a song crafter of the first order".


title: A. J. Croce

text: Croce's next three albums were self-produced. "Adrian James Croce" (Croce's only pop-oriented album) was the only independently produced album of 2004 to chart in the Top 40 in America. In Europe it was on the charts for six months, tracking between songs by U2 and Coldplay. That same year "Adrian James Croce" won Best Pop album at the San Diego Music Awards. His 2006 album, "Cantos," on his own label, Seedling Records, features Ben Harper. In 2009, his album "Cage of Muses" was released on Seedling, garnering a 4-star review from "Rolling Stone" magazine.

text: In 2013, Croce signed with Compass Records and released "Twelve Tales." He recorded two songs with each of six producers in five U.S. cities throughout a yearlong period, simultaneously releasing one song per month exclusively on iTunes in 2013. The full album was released on CD and LP in 2014. The album's producers were 'Cowboy' Jack Clement, famous for his work with Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash; Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer Allen Toussaint, producer of Dr. John and Irma Thomas; Golden Globe-nominated Mitchell Froom, whose work includes Randy Newman and Crowded House; Grammy-winning engineer and producer Kevin Killen, who produced multiple albums by Elvis Costello; notable A&R executive and record producer Tony Berg, whose sessions have included Bob Dylan and Fiona Apple; and Greg Cohen, avant-garde bass player and producer, known for his work with Tom Waits. Croce co-wrote a few of the songs on "Twelve Tales", including one song with songwriter Leon Russell. Croce's albums have appeared on eight radio charts, including AAA, Blues, College, Jazz, and Americana.

title: Miami International Autodrome

text: The Miami International Autodrome is a purpose-built temporary circuit around Hard Rock Stadium and its private facilities in the Miami suburb of Miami Gardens, Florida. The track is long and features 19 corners with an anticipated average speed of around . The track was designed and delivered by Formula One track designers, Apex Circuit Design, for the Miami Grand Prix, which was added to the Formula One calendar for the 2022 World Championship.


title: Miami International Autodrome

text: The track had been proposed as early as October 2019 with an initial design at the venue, with up to 75 circuit designs having been considered, and 36 being simulated. The stadium's owner, Stephen Ross, had been attempting to attract Formula One for several years before the initial design was published. Organizers for the Grand Prix at Hard Rock Stadium had an agreement in principle to host a race from 2021, but this was delayed. Miami Gardens commissioners had initially voted against the track's creation, but this was reversed on April 14, 2021. On September 2, 2021, the track was officially named as the "Miami International Autodrome".


title: Miami International Autodrome

text: This circuit, which is on the private grounds of Hard Rock Stadium, uses new and existing roads within. The new permanent asphalt pathways of the circuit are integrated into the Hard Rock Stadium parking areas. The circuit is a temporary-type circuit, and does not use any public streets that are located around Hard Rock Stadium, though it does cross public roads. Each year and a few weeks before the race weekend, the circuit and its safety features are assembled just for the race weekend. After the race weekend, the circuit is dismantled and Hard Rock Stadium grounds are converted back to normal.


title: Mythopoeia

text: Mythopoeia (), or mythopoesis, is a narrative genre in modern literature and film where an artificial or fictionalized mythology is created by the writer of prose, poetry, or other literary forms. This meaning of the word follows its use by J. R. R. Tolkien in the 1930s. The authors in this genre integrate traditional mythological themes and archetypes into fiction. Mythopoeia is also the act of creating a mythology.


title: Mythopoeia

text: The term "mythopoeia" comes from Hellenistic Greek (), meaning 'myth-making'; an alternative is "mythopoesis" () of similar meaning. The definition of "mythopoeia" as "a creating of myth" is first recorded from 1846. In early use, it meant the making of myths in ancient times. It was adopted by J. R. R. Tolkien as the title of one of his poems, written in 1931 and published in "Tree and Leaf".


title: Mythopoeia

text: While many literary works carry mythic themes, only a few approach the dense self-referentiality and purpose of mythopoesis. Mythopoeic authors include Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, William Blake, H. P. Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, Mervyn Peake and Robert E. Howard.


title: Mythopoeia

text: Works of mythopoeia are often categorized as fantasy or science fiction but fill a niche for mythology in the modern world, according to Joseph Campbell, a famous student of world mythology. Campbell spoke of a Nietzschean world which has today outlived much of the mythology of the past. He claimed that new myths must be created, but he believed that present culture is changing too rapidly for society to be completely described by any such mythological framework until a later age.


title: Mythopoeia

text: The philosopher Phillip Stambovsky argues that mythopoeia provides relief from the existential dread that comes with a rational world, and that it can serve as a way to link different cultures and societies.


title: Mythopoeia

text: Mythopoeia is sometimes called "artificial mythology", which emphasizes that it did not evolve naturally and is an artifice comparable with artificial language, and therefore should not be taken seriously as mythology. For example, the noted folklorist Alan Dundes argued that "any novel cannot meet the cultural criteria of myth. A work of art, or artifice, cannot be said to be the narrative of a culture's sacred tradition...[it is] at most, artificial myth."


title: Mythopoeia

text: William Blake set out his mythology in his "prophetic works" such as "Vala, or The Four Zoas". These name several original gods, such as Urizen, Orc, Los, Albion, Rintrah, Ahania and Enitharmon.


title: Mythopoeia

text: Later in the 19th century, stories by George MacDonald and H. Rider Haggard created fictional worlds; C. S. Lewis praised both for their "mythopoeic" gifts.


title: Mythopoeia

text: Lord Dunsany's 1905 book of short stories, "The Gods of Pegana", is linked by Dunsany's invented pantheon of deities who dwell in Pegāna. It was followed by "Time and the Gods", by some stories in "The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories", and by "Tales of Three Hemispheres". In 1919, Dunsany told an American interviewer, "In "The Gods of Pegana" I tried to account for the ocean and the moon. I don't know whether anyone else has ever tried that before." Dunsany's work influenced J. R. R. Tolkien's later writings.


title: Mythopoeia

text: T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" (1922) was a deliberate attempt to model a 20th-century mythology patterned after the birth-rebirth motif described by the anthropologist and folklorist James George Frazer.


title: Mythopoeia

text: J. R. R. Tolkien wrote a poem titled "Mythopoeia" following a discussion on the night of 19 September 1931 at Magdalen College, Oxford with C. S. Lewis and Hugo Dyson, in which he intended to explain and defend creative myth-making. The poem describes the creative human author as "the little maker" wielding his "own small golden sceptre" and ruling his "subcreation" (understood as a creation of Man within God's primary creation).


title: Mythopoeia

text: Tolkien's wider legendarium includes not only origin myths, creation myths, and an epic poetry cycle, but also fictive linguistics, geology and geography. He more succinctly explores the function of such myth-making, "subcreation" and "Faery" in the short story "Leaf by Niggle" (1945)"," the novella "Smith of Wootton Major" (1967), and the essays "" (1936) and "On Fairy-Stories" (1939). Written in 1939 for presentation by Tolkien at the Andrew Lang lecture at the University of St Andrews and published in print in 1947, "On Fairy-Stories" explains "Faery" as both a fictitious realm and an archetypal plane in the psyche or soul from whence Man derives his "subcreative" capacity. Tolkien emphasizes the importance of language in the act of channeling "subcreation", speaking of the human linguistic faculty in general as well as the specifics of the language used in a given tradition, particularly in the form of story and song:


title: Mythopoeia

text: Tolkien scholars have likened his views on the creation of myth to the Christian concept of Logos or "The Word", which is said to act as both "the [...] language of nature" spoken into being by God, and "a repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I AM".


title: Mythopoeia

text: Verlyn Flieger wrote that Elias Lönnrot intentionally created the "Kalevala" as a mythology for Finland, giving it "a world of magic and mystery, a heroic age of story that may never have existed in precisely the form he gave it, but nevertheless fired Finland with a sense of its own independent worth." In her view, Tolkien, who had read the "Kalevala", "envisioned himself" doing exactly the same thing, except that the mythology would be entirely fictive. Lönnrot had travelled the backwoods of Finland for 20 years, collecting stories and songs "from unlettered peasants". Tolkien meant to invent both the collectors and the storytellers, in his case Elves: "he would be at once the singer and the compiler, the performer and the audience."


title: Mythopoeia

text: At the time that Tolkien debated the usefulness of myth and mythopoeia with C. S. Lewis in 1931, Lewis was a theist and liked but was skeptical of mythology, taking the position that myths were "lies and therefore worthless, even though 'breathed through silver. However Lewis later began to speak of Christianity as the one "true myth". Lewis wrote, "The story of Christ is simply a true myth: a myth working on us in the same way as the others, but with this tremendous difference that it really happened." Subsequently, his "Chronicles of Narnia" is regarded as mythopoeia, with storylines referencing that Christian mythology, namely the narrative of a great king who is sacrificed to save his people and is resurrected. Lewis's mythopoeic intent is often confused with allegory, where the characters and world of Narnia would stand in direct equivalence with concepts and events from Christian theology and history, but Lewis repeatedly emphasized that an allegorical reading misses the point (the mythopoeia) of the Narnia stories. He shares this skepticism toward allegory with Tolkien, who disliked "conscious and intentional" allegory as it stood in opposition the broad and "inevitable" allegory of themes like "Fall" and "Mortality".


title: Mythopoeia

text: Frank McConnell, author of "Storytelling and Mythmaking" and professor of English at the University of California, called film another "mythmaking" art, stating: "Film and literature matter as much as they do because they are versions of mythmaking." In his view, film is a perfect vehicle for mythmaking: "FILM...strives toward the fulfillment of its own projected reality in an ideally associative, personal world." In a broad analysis, McConnell associates the American western movies and romance movies with the Arthurian mythology, adventure and action movies with the "epic world" mythologies of founding societies, and many romance movies where the hero is allegorically playing the role of a knight, with "quest" mythologies like "Sir Gawain" and the "Quest for the Holy Grail".


title: Mythopoeia

text: Filmmaker George Lucas speaks of the cinematic storyline of "Star Wars" as an example of modern myth-making. In 1999 he told Bill Moyers, "With "Star Wars" I consciously set about to re-create myths and the classic mythological motifs." McConnell writes that "it has passed, quicker than anyone could have imagined, from the status of film to that of legitimate and deeply embedded popular mythology." John Lyden, the Professor and Chair of the Religion Department at Dana College, argues that "Star Wars" does indeed reproduce religious and mythical themes; specifically, he argues that the work is apocalyptic in concept and scope. Steven D. Greydanus of "The Decent Film Guide" agrees, calling "Star Wars" a "work of epic mythopoeia." In fact, Greydanus argues that "Star Wars" is "the" primary example of American mythopoeia:


title: Mythopoeia

text: Roger Ebert has observed of "Star Wars" that "It is not by accident that George Lucas worked with Joseph Campbell, an expert on the world's basic myths, in fashioning a screenplay that owes much to man's oldest stories." The "mythical" aspects of the Star Wars franchise have been challenged by other film critics. Regarding claims by Lucas himself, Steven Hart observes that Lucas didn't mention Joseph Campbell at the time of the original "Star Wars"; evidently they met only in the 1980s. Their mutual admiration "did wonders for [Campbell's] visibility" and obscured the tracks of Lucas in the "despised genre" science fiction; ""the epics" make for an infinitely classier set of influences."


title: Mythopoeia

text: Superman, for example, sent from the "heavens" by his father to save humanity, is a messiah-type of character in the Biblical tradition. Furthermore, along with the rest of DC Comic's Justice League of America, Superman watches over humanity from the Watchtower in the skies; just like the Greek gods do from Mount Olympus.


title: Mythopoeia

text: In classical music, Richard Wagner's operas were a deliberate attempt to create a new kind of "Gesamtkunstwerk" ('total work of art'), transforming the legends of the Teutonic past nearly out of recognition into a new monument to the Romantic project.


title: Mythopoeia

text: While ostensibly known for improvised jamming, the rock group Phish first cemented as a group while producing leading member Trey Anastasio's senior project in college, called "The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday". The song cycle features narration of major events in a mythical land called Gamehendge, containing types of imaginary creatures and primarily populated by a race called the "Lizards". It is essentially a postmodern pastiche, drawing from Anastasio's interest in musicals or rock operas as much as from reading philosophy and fiction. The creation of the myth is considered by many fans the thesis statement of the group, musically and philosophically, as Gamehendge's book of lost secrets (called the "Helping Friendly Book") is summarized as an encouragement to improvisation in any part of life: "the trick was to surrender to the flow."


title: Mythopoeia

text: The black metal band Immortal's lyricist Harald Nævdal has created a mythological realm called Blashyrkh filled with demons, battles, winter landscapes, woods, and darkness, described by the band as a northern "Frostdemon" realm.


title: Mythopoeia

text: The Mythopoeic Society exists to promote mythopoeic literature, partly by way of the Mythopoeic Awards.


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: Arrival is the fourth studio album by the Swedish pop group ABBA. It was originally released in Sweden on 11 October 1976 by Polar Records. It became one of ABBA's most successful albums to date, producing three of their biggest hits: "Dancing Queen", "Money, Money, Money" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You". The track "Fernando", which had been recently released as a single in March 1976, was included on the Australian and New Zealand versions of the album. "Arrival" was the best-selling album of 1977 in the United Kingdom and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: The album was first released on compact disc (CD) in 1984 and then re-issued in digitally remastered form a total of four times; first in 1997, then in 2001, 2005 as part of "The Complete Studio Recordings" box set, and again in 2006 (as a special Deluxe Edition).


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: On 7 October 2016, the album was released as a double vinyl mastered at Abbey Road Studios using Half Speed Mastering.


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: By the time ABBA began working on their fourth album in August 1975, they had achieved a modest level of success around the world. It was with "Arrival" however, that they would achieve global superstardom. Recording sessions began in August 1975 and continued until September 1976 at Metronome and Glen studios in Stockholm, Sweden.


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: The first song to enter the studio was a track called "Boogaloo" on 4 August. Taking inspiration from the current disco sound (and in particular George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby"), the backing track was laid down. The group knew that they had something big on their hands, as member Agnetha Fältskog remarked: "We knew immediately it was going to be massive." With re-written lyrics, the song became known as "Dancing Queen", and would go on to be ABBA's biggest ever hit. Work on the song continued intermittently until December 1975 as the group's activities were increasing in the latter half of the year as they saw a sudden surge in popularity in the United Kingdom and Australia. During this time they also recorded a song (in Swedish) for member Anni-Frid Lyngstad's solo album, "Fernando".


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: In March 1976, with "Fernando" re-written with English lyrics, it was released as an ABBA single, becoming the group's biggest hit to date - hitting No.1 in many countries, including a 14-week stay at No.1 in Australia. It was featured as the brand new track on their "Greatest Hits" album which was selling in huge numbers around that time, becoming the biggest-selling album of the year in the UK (in Australia, it was featured on the "Arrival" album placed between "Why Did It Have to Be Me" and "Tiger"). In the midst of this success, the group finally found time to return to the studio in late March. The next song they began working on was "Knowing Me, Knowing You", which was to become yet another major hit worldwide. Member Benny Andersson has said that it is "one of our five best recordings".


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: By the end of April two other songs had been laid down: "That's Me" and "Why Did It Have to Be Me". The latter was reworked into "Happy Hawaii" before ultimately arriving back at its original title with completely different lyrics and member Björn Ulvaeus on lead vocals as opposed to Faltskog and Lyngstad ("Happy Hawaii" would later be released as a B-side). A similar situation occurred with the next recording when a song entitled "Money, Money, Money" became "Gypsy Girl" and then back to its original title. "Money, Money, Money" would also be released as a single and become a major hit some months after the album's eventual release.


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: In June 1976, a TV special dedicated to the group (entitled "ABBA-dabba-dooo!!") was filmed. Around the same time they recorded a song called "When I Kissed the Teacher," which would become the opening track on their new album. Late July saw the next two tracks, "Tiger" and "Dum Dum Diddle" recorded. Considered by biographer Carl Magnus Palm as the "complete antithesis" of each other, the former being a hard rocker against the pure pop of the latter, both Lyngstad and Ulvaeus have expressed dissatisfaction with "Dum Dum Diddle", with Ulvaeus admitting that it was a nonsense lyric he had come up with in desperation. The next song to be recorded was "My Love My Life". Originally titled "Monsieur Monsieur" and more upbeat, the song soon became a lush ballad with backing harmonies inspired by 10cc's hit "I'm Not in Love".


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: The final track to be recorded was an instrumental piece entitled "Ode to Dalecarlia". Featuring Andersson prominently on keyboards, the track was renamed "Arrival" – a word that had already been decided as the title of their new album. By September 1976 work on the album was finished just as "Dancing Queen" was topping the charts all over the world. The album cover shots were taken of the group posing in and out of a Bell 47 helicopter at the Barkarby Airport, northwest of Stockholm. The now-renowned "mirrored-B" copyrighted ABBA logo, an ambigram designed by Rune Söderqvist in 1976, was also premiered on the album cover. "Arrival" was released on 11 October 1976.


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: In a contemporary review for "Rolling Stone", music critic Ken Tucker panned "Arrival" as "Muzak mesmerizing in its modality" and wrote, "By reducing their already vapid lyrics to utter irrelevance, lead singers Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog are liberated to natter on in their shrill voices without regard to emotion or expression." Robert Christgau of "The Village Voice" gave the album a "C", indicating "a record of clear professionalism or barely discernible inspiration, but not both."


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: In a review upon the album's 2001 reissue by Universal Records, AllMusic editor Bruce Eder found the material "brilliant" and complimented the reissue's "upgraded sound," as well as "those dramatic musical effects that this group played for maximum effect, which gave their music a raw power that their detractors usually overlooked; in the new edition, it's impossible to ignore." In "The New Rolling Stone Album Guide" (2004), music journalist Arion Berger recommended its Universal reissue to consumers.


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: The album became a major seller all over the world, becoming the top-selling album of 1977 in both the UK and West Germany for example. It had three of ABBA's biggest hits; "Dancing Queen," "Money Money Money" and "Knowing Me Knowing You," and in some territories a fourth with the inclusion of "Fernando" (which in most markets had featured on their earlier "Greatest Hits" album). "That's Me" was released as a single in Japan only.


title: Arrival (ABBA album)

text: The album was included in Robert Dimery's "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". "Arrival" re-entered the UK album charts at #94 for the week of August 3, 2018, for the first time since 1979.

title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Cowboy Junkies are an alternative country and folk rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1985 by Alan Anton (bassist), Michael Timmins (songwriter, guitarist), Peter Timmins (drummer) and Margo Timmins (vocalist). The three Timminses are siblings, and Anton worked with Michael Timmins during their first couple of bands. John Timmins was a member of the band but left the group before the recording of their debut studio album. The band line-up has never changed since, although they use several guest musicians on many of their studio albums, including multi-instrumentalist Jeff Bird who has performed on every album except the first.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Cowboy Junkies' 1986 debut studio album, produced by Canadian producer Peter Moore, was the blues-inspired "Whites Off Earth Now!!", recorded in the family garage using a single ambisonic microphone.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The band gained wide recognition with their second studio album, "The Trinity Session" (1988), recorded in 1987 at Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity. Their sound, again using the ambisonic microphone, and their mix of blues, country, folk, rock and jazz earned them both critical attention and a strong fan base. The "Los Angeles Times" named the recording one of the 10 best albums of 1988.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Cowboy Junkies have gone on to record 16 studio albums and five live albums, with tour dates booked into 2023.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Alan Anton and Michael Timmins, lifelong friends who met in kindergarten, formed their first band in high school. In 1979, influenced by post-punk bands such as Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, they recruited drummer Geoff Railton and vocalist Liza Dawson-Whisker, and formed Hunger Project in Toronto. They moved to Manhattan's Lower East Side and performed at a variety of clubs. In early 1981, the Hunger Project embarked on a multi-city tour of the United States. After that, Hunger Project moved to the United Kingdom, where they toured for three months and released the single "The Same Inside/Assembly" on their independent label, Latent Recordings.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: When Hunger Project disbanded, Alan Anton and Michael Timmins remained in London and started an improvisational band named Germinal. The members – Michael Timmins on guitar, Alan Anton on bass, a drummer, and saxophonist, played whatever they wished on their instruments at the same time. Germinal released two studio albums: "Germinal 1" (1983) and "Din" (1984). The music newspaper New Musical Express said Germinal "ranks among the most innovative and aggressive sounds to emerge from the independent scene this year." Alan Anton and Michael Timmins had a somewhat different take, saying, "It was the ultimate release for us. But for the audience, it was quite a chore." In London, they developed journeyman skills as musicians, and expanded their knowledge of music history — Michael Timmins worked in a record store for a year to make ends meet while with Germinal. Among those who were to influence Michael Timmins and Alan Anton were jazz musicians Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, along with the sound of early blues musicians Lightnin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Bukka White, and Robert Johnson. Germinal broke up after three years in autumn of 1984. Alan Anton moved to Berlin and Michael Timmins returned to New York City.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Upon their return to Toronto in 1985, Alan Anton and Michael Timmins rented a house, insulated the tiny garage, and, with younger brother Pete Timmins sitting in on drums, began exploring a new musical direction. Margo was drafted to join and recalls, "I was contemplating going on to graduate school, staying in school. That was safe. I never wanted to be a musician or be onstage." Nevertheless, Michael Timmins began to hear something in what they were doing with their initial jams, realizing that a female voice was what the band needed. Michael Timmins said, "I thought if you had this female voice on top of it, you could do anything you wanted."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: However, the slow musical tempos and whispery, hushed tones that defined their early work was not just musical inspiration, but came about by necessity. Their recording studio was their repurposed garage, which was just behind the house and bordered closely with their neighbours. On their first jam session, the police showed up due to a noise complaint from the neighbour. According to Michael Timmins, "We realized we had to tone down. One thing fed into the other: Margo began to realize that her singing voice was more effective quiet. We began to realize, if we can get down underneath Margo, the sound will be more effective. Pete picked up brushes – he was just learning to play drums at that point. Everything sort of came down. We learned to play with less volume."

text: When the unnamed band was preparing for its first gig, the members considered various names before choosing Cowboy Junkies. During their early gigs the band would perform at the Rivoli which had a small space in the back. The group would perform a rhythmic groove while Margo sang improvised vocal melodies and portions of old blues songs. Many times the Junkies entire performance would be a single jam session.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Peter Moore, a recording enthusiast who had ambitions of becoming a producer, was at their very first show. According to Moore, "I was mesmerized by Margo. The very first show, people weren't paying attention to them, because they were playing so softly and quietly. Margo had her back to the audience a lot of the time."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: When the Cowboy Junkies were ready to record a studio album the band sought a like-minded recording engineer. They met Peter Moore at a dinner party, and when they began talking about recording equipment and techniques, they found that Moore's interest in single-microphone recording meshed with their desire to capture the intimate sound of their rehearsal garage. Moore had just purchased a Calrec Ambisonic microphone at the wholesale price of $9,000. The Cowboy Junkies and Moore came together at the rehearsal space on June 26, 1986, and turned the garage into a recording studio. Moore arranged the group around his Calrec, jury-rigged a control room in the kitchen, and started recording.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The Cowboy Junkies shopped their material but were unable to find a label to distribute their work, so they revived the indie label Latent Recordings that Michael Timmins and Anton had used for their Hunger Project and Germinal works, and released "Whites Off Earth Now!!" in October 1986. They sold 3,000 copies. The band then toured the US. Michael Timmins described the experience: "While touring "Whites" we had spent a lot of time in the Southern states, especially Virginia, Georgia and the Carolinas. For some reason the club owners down there took a liking to what we were doing so we spent a lot of time crossing the kudzu choked highways that ran through the heart of the old Confederacy. Those were the days when having to spend a night in a hotel room would mean the difference between eating the next day or paying for the gas to get us to the next town, so we spent a lot of our time sleeping on the floors of friendly promoters, fans, waitresses and bartenders."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The band's next project, "The Trinity Session" (1988), became their breakthrough. Peter Moore again produced the album. They approached the project as a reaction against the MIDI–dominated musical styles of the '80s. Moore said, "I was angry that music had gotten into drum machines and MIDI. No humanity, no nothing. I'm listening to these recordings from the '50s with two or three mics and I'm going, 'Man that's real music.'" He chose the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto for its natural reverb. To better persuade the officials of the historic church, Moore claimed "The Timmins Family Singers" were recording a Christmas special. The session began early on November 27, 1987. Songs with the fewest instruments were recorded first, and then the songs with gradually more complex arrangements. In this way Moore was able to solve acoustic problems one by one. To better balance Margo's vocals against the electric guitars and drums, she was recorded through a PA system left behind by a previous group. By making subtle changes in volume and placement relative to the microphone over six hours, Moore and the band finally reached the distinctive sound of the album.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Music critic for "Rolling Stone" magazine, Anthony DeCurtis, summed up the result of the group's efforts in a four-star review of the album: "The Trinity Session is in the great tradition of albums that establish a mood and sustain it so consistently that the entire record seems like one continuously unfolding song. The mood in this instance is hypnotic and introspective – an intense, melancholic longing that blends the elemental emotions of country music and the blues with the poetic world-weariness of the Velvet Underground. [...] Having good songs, the skill to convey what they have to say and, most important, a vision, the Cowboy Junkies dispensed with high-tech trumpery and made their record simply and seriously. That attitude helped make the album as important as it is inspiring."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The band's third studio album was more challenging, requiring three attempts to get the sound the band desired. Yet despite the problems with the making of it, the band considers it a very exciting and turbulent time in their career and state that "The Caution Horses" (1990) remains one of their favourite albums. The band rented a small recording studio in the docklands of Toronto with the intention of using the room like the garage their debut studio album was recorded in, instead of a room with live acoustics like the church room they used for "The Trinity Session" (1988). The session went badly because the group had just come off the road after a gruelling tour and were tired, particularly Margo Timmins who had a terrible head cold. After a few hours they realized the session wasn't working out, and they left.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The second attempt was made on April 21 of 1987 when Peter Moore rented the Sharon Temple, an historic landmark located in the village of Sharon, Ontario. Michael Timmins recalls, "The arrangements that we had developed for this new set of songs were at times so full and lush, unlike the spareness of most of Trinity's songs, that we were immediately confronted with the problem of how to control this swirl of sound so that it didn't just turn to mush on tape. Another problem was that the Temple was a lot more acoustically lively than any of us had imagined. As a result when the music swelled it would often spill over into Margo's vocal mic and feedback." At the end of three days during which the temperature would drop below freezing, Michael Timmins states, "When we packed up and left Sharon that day I don't think that any of us felt that we had captured anything special. It had been a difficult three days and I think that we were all just happy that on that third day we had at least made some decent recordings of the songs if not necessarily memorable ones." Over the next several months the band were touring and playing songs on the Sharon tape. As the band listened, new ideas for them evolved. They also wrote additional songs. Although the band truly loved the recordings, the songs continued to develop on stage, and they believed the session no longer accurately represented where they were as a band. In 2022, however, they released the Sharon session as a special edition vinyl album as well as in streaming formats.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: At the end of the tour, they decided to go into Eastern Studios in downtown Toronto and reinvent how they recorded themselves. "The Caution Horses" sessions went quickly and smoothly, and were recorded over several days in December 1989. Michael Timmins believes: "The beauty of the recording and one of the reasons it remains one of our favourites is that it captures the essence of the band which magically fell together during the recording of The Trinity Session and which forged its own voice, under the glare of a very intense spotlight, in the clubs and concert halls of the world."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: With their next studio album, "Black Eyed Man" (1992), Michael Timmins wanted to explore music structure, specifically time shifts and tempo shifts; while Margo Timmins wanted to expand her singing style and her range. Several musicians from previous albums showed up during the rehearsal sessions, along with about twenty five other Toronto players that were known to the band, or recruited because of their skills with instruments the band wanted to include in the album. Realizing he needed a theme to hold the album together what Michael Timmins decided upon was "love found, love lost and love betrayed - it was to be the journey of the faceless, nameless and haunted Black Eyed Man."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The band's fifth studio album, "Pale Sun, Crescent Moon" (1993) is a song cycle about male-female relationships. Margo Timmins describes the theme of the album as "there is love and there is all that conspires to steal love away." Michael Timmins says, "It is a very dense and complex work both lyrically and musically." Music critic, Mike Boehm, summed the album up this way: "By the album's end, Margo Timmins, the singer known for her preternatural hush, can be heard declaring herself with assertive bite: 'It's a (expletive) ole world, but this ole girl, well she ain't giving in.' While it hasn't exactly turned into a hard-rock band (the closely drawn, highly literate, mood-conscious internal monologue remains the signature of the band's style), those aggressive opening and closing moments do signal a desire to avoid being typecast as that whispering band that found success by recording in an echoing church."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The Cowboy Junkie's sixth studio album, "Lay It Down" (1996), was one in which the group wanted to make the music outside of Toronto and away from usual routines, so they searched for a place that was a comfortable drive away from Toronto, but would feel remote. Alan Anton recalls, "We found Rock Island, named not for music but for geology. It is actually one big rock with stuff growing on it and has one small house with a great stone fireplace. We went there for a week at a time and between chopping wood, cooking, boating, whittling, hiking and staring into the fire, worked up some songs that were as laid back and sparse as the setting." When the Junkies went to record the songs, they felt that their chosen songs would come together if they could "find a studio which would approximate the vibe of Rock Island in the sense of a relaxed but focused mood and its remoteness from the music industry mainland." They found a big-porched southern house in Athens, Georgia that fit their needs. The Junkies moved into the rented home in the suburbs of Athens in June 1995. The producer and engineer John Keane had built a homey but state-of-the-art studio, and the band settled in quickly.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The Cowboy Junkie's last studio album of the decade is an alternative country album, "Miles from Our Home" (1998). Wanting to repeat the process of writing and creating used for "Lay It Down", Michael Timmins found a house near a gristmill on a pond, a couple hours drive from Toronto, where he spent six months writing songs. During that time, Margo and Peter Timmins and Alan Anton would come down to work on songs. Then Michael wrote more, until the songs were worked out and ready to record. On New Year's Day in 1997, just as Timmins was planning the album, the band heard that Townes Van Zandt had died. Van Zandt was a friend of the band, had toured with them in their bus in 1990, and was perhaps the biggest influence as a songwriter on Michael. On the day that Michael Timmins had heard that Van Zandt had died he wrote the first draft of "Blue Guitar", "as a tribute to the man who had the bluest guitar that I had ever heard."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Throughout their career, Cowboy Junkies have approached each studio album to see where they can change or improve. "Open", which was released on May 15, 2001, follows in that tradition. While they were on a tour to support their live album "Waltz Across America", which lasted nine months and had many breaks in the schedule, they began working on new material. They added two to three new songs a month into their performances, allowing the songs to evolve on stage. During breaks, they would go to sound engineer Daryl Smith's studio, Chemical Sound, to live record material they had created. Being able to set up in a couple hours, record some tracks, and be done by the end of the day was a departure from their habit of trying to complete an album's worth of songs in a set recording period. On each visit, they would record two or three songs. They also took the opportunity to re-record songs. After the band had recorded fifteen tracks, they listened and decided they had the songs they needed, with two additional songs recorded at Peter Moore's home studio.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: "One Soul Now" (2004) was recorded over the course of a year, from October 2002 to October 2003. Its central idea is that everyone is interconnected. When the band returned home after their Open Tour, they decided to turn their rehearsal area into a recording studio which they dubbed The Clubhouse. This new arrangement changed the process of how they created their tracks. Previously, they would start in the rehearsal space, determine how the songs would work, then go to a studio. Now, the band recorded everything as they worked through the rehearsal process.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The Cowboy Junkies next project was "Early 21st Century Blues", which was recorded February through March 2005, and released in August of that year. It was begun a few months after their previous tour. The theme for the album was war, violence, fear, greed, ignorance, or loss, and everybody had to bring two or three songs written by other people. This album was unique in that John Timmins recorded with his siblings, playing guitar.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: "At the End of Paths Taken" was released on April 9, 2007. Michael Timmins wrote songs that "reflect the complex, frustrating, edifying, and conflict-ridden web of relationships that constitute the family, from nuclear to extended to global. He is a parent, and a son with aging parents. He plays with his siblings in the Cowboy Junkies." Timmins blends his alternative country music sound with ferocious guitar work on "My Little Basquiat" and "Mountain". At times Timmins sounds as if he has lost control of his guitar playing, "until you realize there's not a stray note to be found. . . . Timmons' [sic] guitar playing has grown more aggressive over the years."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: For the twentieth anniversary of their breakthrough studio album, "The Trinity Session" (1988), the Cowboy Junkies reinterpreted the album to highlight what twenty years of performing experience brought to the songs. In order to expand upon the goal of reinterpreting, the Cowboy Junkies invited three guest musicians whose work has affected the Cowboy Junkies, and whose work and lives were affected by the album. Guest musicians on the 2007 album include Natalie Merchant, Vic Chesnutt, and Ryan Adams. Each does lead vocal on one of the album's songs (Merchant on "To Love Is to Bury", Chesnutt on "Postcard Blues", and Adams on "200 More Miles"). They also perform on other tracks. Jeff Bird, a session musician who has appeared on virtually every Cowboy Junkies album, is also included in the project. In order to create the same atmosphere, they kept rehearsal to a minimum, getting together for a few hours a day before the recording. The guest musicians worked with the band to re-imagine the songs, making suggestions, trying out fresh nuances. The album contains a performance film, "Trinity Revisited", and a documentary film, "Trinity Session Revisited". Directors Pierre and François Lamoureux, produced and recorded the album and the films. Although the album was not recorded with a single microphone like the original album, the directors placed the musicians in a circle and used a surround microphone, augmented the recording with ten close-mics to record them.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: "The Nomad Series" (2017) is a set of four studio albums that was released over three years from 2010 to 2012. "The Nomad Series" is not based on a particular theme regarding music, but are based on a set of paintings by their friend, artist Enrique Martinez Celaya. The group found the name appropriate, since they have been touring for over 30 years. The Junkies had no recording contract when they created "the Nomad Series", which freed them up to be experimental with their music, to avoid categorizing the planned releases.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The first album in the series is "Renmin Park" (2010), which is based on ideas the band's principal songwriter, Michael Timmins, got while living in China for three months with his wife and three children. Two of his children were adopted from China, and during their stay they visited the birth village of his adopted daughters. Most of their time was spent in Jingjiang, situated on the Yangtze River about two hours' drive from Shanghai. The music that inspired Timmins most during the visit was found at Renmin Park, where a variety of musicians would gather throughout the day, bringing their erhus, pipas, shangxians, various percussion instruments; and a mix of singers performed. Timmins found most of the musicians outstanding, he thought the singers were good because they all performed with passion. About halfway through the visit, Timmins was introduced to Eric Chen, who was passionate about music, and became Timmins' friend. Chen brought Timmins a variety of CDs and videos that showcased the Chinese rock scene.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Michael asked his brother, Peter Timmins, to send him a high-end portable recorder, which he carried everywhere he went, and recorded music, conversations, exercise classes, badminton games, traffic, students chatter in classrooms, street hawkers, and more. He sent the recordings to Joby Baker in British Columbia with instructions to create loops of the sounds, and to use his imagination. The core of the album is built around a fictional love story between two people who live in different worlds that always keep them apart. "Renmin Park" is also a thank-you letter to the people of the city that so kindly welcomed him and his family.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: On December 25, 2009, at the age of 45, Cowboy Junkies friend, Vic Chesnutt, died from an overdose of muscle relaxants. Chesnutt was generally a friendly and cheerful man, but he sometimes suffered bouts of severe depression. "Demons", released January 18, 2011, is the Cowboy Junkies tribute to him. The band had included him in their twentieth anniversary celebration of "The Trinity Session" when they made "Trinity Revisited" (2007). Chesnutt sang lead vocals on the song, "Postcard Blues." He had also toured with the group several times, starting with the tour supporting "Lay It Down" (1996). Michael Timmins stated, "One of the hopes of this album is that it inspires people to seek out the originals and keep his music alive. We had intended to do an album where he would write the songs, and we would be the band. Now we're trying to fulfil a bit of that desire." The Cowboy Junkies managed to turn an album born from grief into an assertion of life.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: On October 14, 2011, music critic Jason Lent began his review of "Sing in My Meadow" with this observation, "When R.E.M. called it quits, the band talked about walking away having maintained their artistic integrity throughout a 30-year career. As Cowboy Junkies pass the quarter century mark, the Toronto band must rest well at night. The band's consistent work flies under the radar more times than not and the band sounds content with keeping it that way." He continues, "One of the band's live staples in recent years is "Hunted" from 1994's "Pale Sun Crescent Moon". Revisiting the song here, the original sounds frail and timid in comparison. Margo belts out the lyrics with the dry bitterness of someone who has witnessed first-hand the arrows that fly between men and women. As the band shakes the rafters, Bird delivers a mandolin solo that redefines the possibilities of the instrument."


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: "The Wilderness" was released on March 27, 2012, and is the fourth and final entry of "The Nomad Series". The album reflects the introspective nature of winter. The album is a return to the folk vibe the band played with in the late 80s and early 90s. Songwriter Michael Timmins states: "I started to think in terms of an album of songs reflecting on the lives of characters I'd written about early in the bands career and bringing those characters . . . into the future to see where their lives were at now." About his lyrics, Timmins says: "Some of those songs have little touch points where . . . you can see how they connect to earlier songs -- even character's names and stuff pops into them, and that's intentional." The style of the songs on the album comes closer to the typical Cowboy Junkies music, more than the other albums in "The Nomad series".


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The Cowboy Junkies studio album, "All That Reckoning", was released on July 13, 2018. In an interview about the upcoming album with "Billboard", guitarist and songwriter Michael Timmins said, "There's a lot of pressures and a lot of crumbling of institutions, very little foundation to put one's feet on again, especially at an older age. You sort of expect things to be there and realize, 'My God, what I thought was a standard, whether it be an institution or a way of dealing with people in our society, is disappearing." In 2019, they joined the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: The band contributed a cover version of Bob Dylan's 2020 song "I've Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You" to the "Dylan Revisited" compilation album in 2021. "Variety" ranked it the 17th best Dylan cover of all time the month after it premiered.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Their nineteenth studio album, a cover album, "Songs of the Recollection", was released on March 25, 2022.


title: Cowboy Junkies

text: Michael Timmins states that "By the Spring of 1990 we had been on the road for close to two years straight, trying to stay right-side-up in the whirlwind of attention that was created by the release of "The Trinity Session" (1988) and the subsequent release of "The Caution Horses" (1990). We had accumulated, literally, trunks full of press clippings from around the world, but most importantly we had built up our confidence on stage. Margo was emerging as a true front-person and we were gelling as band. In May of that year we landed in the London for our first full fledge UK tour and were greeted with much adulation and interest. The tour was a tremendous success on all levels and thankfully the BBC was there to record one of the shows at The Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester."

title: Yaksha: Ruthless Operations

text: After a botched attempt to prosecute Lee Chan-young, chairman of Sangin Group, Han Ji-hoon, a prosecutor from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, is demoted to the legal support office of the NIS. Ji-hoon eagerly takes up an assignment declined by his superior and prosecutor Park and is sent by Director Yeom to inspect the NIS Shenyang branch, a highly classified black ops base involved with North Korean counter-intelligence. The Black Team is led by Ji Kang-in and fronted as Samjin Travel Agency. After upsetting Kang-in by intervening in an operation, Kang-in has Ji-hoon framed for prostitution and using illegal drugs to test his skills at improvising a response.


title: Yaksha: Ruthless Operations

text: Ji-hoon climbs out the hotel window where the drugs were planted to flee police, thus passing the test, and he officially joins the team at its secret base. Kang-in is briefed on the mission to extract Moon Byung-uk, the head of Room 39, part of the North Korean Central Committee involved in maintaining the Kim family's slush funds. Moon intends to defect South Korea, but the extraction fails when he is pursued by various parties who wants the information he holds. The team manages to secure Moon's adult daughter Ju-yeon. When they intend to torture her for information on her father, Ji-hoon allows her to escape. The Black Team tracks Ju-yeon to Moon's safe house, only to find they have been set up by Yoshinobu Ozawa for the murder of Moon and kidnapping of Ju-yeon.

title: Yaksha: Ruthless Operations

text: Kim Bo-ram reviewing for "Yonhap News" wrote that the film is a "pulsating spy thriller set in precarious political landscape in Northeast Asia". Kim praised the performance of actor Sol Kyung-gu, stating that he "well portrays Kang-in", and "his performance creates an unexpected on-screen chemistry with Park Hae-soo". Kim opined that, unlike other spy films, this "action-packed thriller takes a different approach, revolving around a non-professional agent drawn into the dangerous and relentless intelligence operation." She appreciated "its action set-pieces", and stated that "gun shootouts are one of the outstanding parts of the film." Archi Sengupta of "Leisure Byte" rated the film with 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, ""Yaksha: Ruthless Operations" is a beautiful film, the colours are rich and the night-time scenes look ravishing, especially those of the skyline." She criticised its length and found it "sluggish during the last leg". Summing up the review, Sengupta stated that the film is "interesting and high-octane, and watching it is a mixed bag."


title: Yaksha: Ruthless Operations

text: Abirbhab Maitra of "Ready Steady Cut" rated the film with 2.5 stars out of 5 and praised the "chemistry between Yaksha Sol Kyung-gu and prosecutor Ji-hoon (Park Hae-soo)" terming it as "one of the highlights of the film"; however, Maitra found the "overall film half-cooked" concluding that "it gives you moments of entertainment, but the bumpy roads give you the jerk, which is neither comfortable nor satisfying." Roger Moore of "Roger Movie Nation" rated the film with 2.5 stars out of 4 and wrote, "A pulpy, gonzo espionage story of mutual mistrust, old grudges, beatings, torture, kidnapping and summary executions. And those acts are committed by the good guys."


title: Yaksha: Ruthless Operations

text: Johnny Loftus of "Decider", recommending to stream the film, wrote, ""Yaksha: Ruthless Operations" brings a heap of trigger-happy spycraft to its tale of secrets and lies and two-faced promises on the way to sorting out some hard-earned justice." Loftus stated that the film "hums with ease through... tightly-edited action sequences" and noted that visually, it "benefits from palette, with neon reds bleeding in from every corner of the frame", showing the "gleaming, teeming Shenyang cityscape."


title: Yaksha: Ruthless Operations

text: James Marsh of the "South China Morning Post" rated the film with 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Sluggish, predictable and almost wilfully devoid of thrills, South Korean action drama "Yaksha: Ruthless Operations" offers none of the unpredictable or mischievous antics teased by its curious title." Marsh concluded "[it] is a blandly functional thriller, executed with workmanlike competence, that woefully lacks any discernible glamour, intelligence or style."


title: Lemon Demon

text: Lemon Demon is a musical project and band created by American comedian and musician Neil Cicierega in 2003 in Boston, Massachusetts. Most Lemon Demon music is performed solely by Cicierega, who is the project's sole official member, but a full band is usually assembled for live performances. Cicierega previously released instrumental music and several remixes of video game music under the monikers "Trapezoid" and "Deporitaz" in the late 90's and early 2000's whilst frequently active on Adventure Game Studio.


title: Lemon Demon

text: Neil Cicierega released three instrumental albums under the name "Trapezoid", which was changed retroactively to Deporitaz as an existing band called Trapezoid demanded that he change it. On the change to Lemon Demon, he said: "Eventually I started experimenting with singing, and once I felt ready to do that full time, I christened myself Lemon Demon and went into it head on."


title: Lemon Demon

text: Since 2003, Cicierega has released seven full-length albums as Lemon Demon. In 2005, he and animator Shawn Vulliez released a Flash animated music video called "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" on Newgrounds. This had over 12 million views on Newgrounds as well as topping the "Funny Five" on "The Dr. Demento Show" for several weeks and becoming the No. 1 Request for 2006. The song was later included in the 2006 album "Dinosaurchestra". In April 2009, Cicierega released his first four albums as free downloads on his website. An updated recording of "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" was released to the Rock Band Network in 2010.


title: Lemon Demon

text: In January 2016, Cicierega announced "Spirit Phone", a full-length Lemon Demon album released on February 29, 2016. The album was the No. 1 best-selling album on Bandcamp for the first week of its release. On July 10, 2018, it was announced that copies of the album on CD, cassette, and vinyl would be sold through Needlejuice Records, who would later distribute remastered versions of Lemon Demon's EPs "I Am Become Christmas", "Nature Tapes", along with the albums "View-Monster" and "Dinosaurchestra". "Touch-Tone Telephone" became Lemon Demon's most played song, the first to surpass "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" and, as of April 2022, garnering over 40 million plays on Spotify.
