"New school hip hop The new school of hip hop was a movement in hip hop music starting 1983–84 with the early records of Run–D.M.C. and LL Cool J. Like the hip hop preceding it, it came predominantly from New York City. The new school was initially characterized in form by drum machine led minimalism, often tinged with elements of rock.

De Jussieu recognized the Orchidaceae as a separate family in his \"Genera Plantarum\" (Jussieu) in 1789. Olof Swartz recognized 25 genera in 1800. Louis Claude Richard provided us in 1817 with the descriptive terminology of the orchids. The next step was taken in 1830-1840 by John Lindley, who recognized four subfamilies. He is generally recognized as the father of orchid taxonomy. The next important step was taken by George Bentham with a new classification, recognizing subtribes for the first time. This classification was first presented in a paper that Bentham read to the Royal Society in 1881. Then it was published in 1883 in the final volume of \"Genera Plantarum\" (Bentham & Hooker). The next great contributors were Pfitzer (1887), Schlechter (1926), Mansfeld (1937), Dressler and Dodson (1960), Garay (1960, 1972), Vermeulen (1966), again Dressler (1981). and and Funk (1986).

The ensemble cast includes Dom DeLuise, Marty Feldman, Bernadette Peters, and Sid Caesar, with appearances by Anne Bancroft, Liza Minnelli, Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Marcel Marceau, and Paul Newman playing themselves.

Sound is a big factor in the film's humor, as when a scene that shows the New York City skyline begins with the song \"San Francisco\", only to have it come to a sudden stop as if the musicians realize they are playing the wrong music. They then go into \"I'll Take Manhattan\" instead.

Recorded at the Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles, California and Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany from August 1983 to January 1984, the album's title comes from a comment Taylor made as recording began – \"Let's give them the works!\" During the decade, after a conservative reaction against and ban of the music video for \"I Want to Break Free\" in the United States, the band decided not to tour in North America and lost the top spot in U.S. sales, but sales around the world (especially Europe) would be even better. \"The Works\" has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.",
"The Cynic Project The Cynic Project is the name of a predominantly trance project started in 1999 by American musician and producer Alex Smith. It is known for its uplifting melodies, as well as standard club beats. It rose in popularity with the upbringing of mp3.com in 2000, where it hosted its music, which was downloadable for free. Much of the earlier works were relatively short, considering trance standards. The project originally started as an experiment and developed into the high energy trance project it is today. During Smith's time with mp3.com, he worked with various artists that enhanced his sound and overall quality. Although the names of such people are unknown, they were very much involved with the creation and overall sound of songs such as Grid(Matrix), Eurodance Megamix, On Top of The World, and many others. His song Matrix ][ achieved six million downloads on mp3.com back in 1999.",

Other than the song \"Lucky\", which was recorded in 1995, Radiohead recorded the album in Oxfordshire and Bath between 1996 and early 1997, mostly in the historic mansion St Catherine's Court. The band made a deliberate attempt to distance themselves from the guitar-oriented, lyrically introspective style of their previous album, \"The Bends\". \"OK Computer\"' s abstract lyrics, densely layered sound and eclectic range of influences laid the groundwork for Radiohead's later, more experimental work.",

Through connections to Stromkern's Ned Kirby and a variety of DJ's from local clubs, the project slowly became more focused on vocal-oriented industrial dance music, driven by Lawrence's experimental audio software. It was at this point that Goedken joined the band full-time and Null Device became a more melodic electronic pop act in the mold of Depeche Mode and New Order. After some local and underground success, they were signed to Nilaihah Records in 2002.",

"That's the Way Love Is (album) That's the Way Love Is is the tenth studio album by soul musician Marvin Gaye, released on January 8, 1970, on the Tamla (Motown) label. Built on the success of the title track (#7 US Pop, #2 US R&B in late 1969) originally taken from \"M.P.G.\", and much like Gaye's \"I Heard It Through The Grapevine\" after its success, was released with intent to sell albums based on the success of one particular single (a Motown trademark). Gaye was showing signs of disillusionment from the label's powers-that-be mentality but it didn't affect the singer's performance as he gave a powerful vocal in the title track and was especially impressive with his version of The Beatles' \"Yesterday\". He achieved some success with a cover version of \"How Can I Forget?\" (originally recorded by The Temptations), which just missed out on the US Pop Top 40, making #41, and reached #18 on the R&B Charts. It's B-Side, a cover of Jimmy Ruffin's \"Gonna Give Her All the Love I've Got\", made a separate chart entry, and peaked at #67 and #27 on the Pop and Soul Charts respectively. Gaye also recorded a version of Ruffin's \"Don't You Miss Me a Little Bit Baby\" for the album. The LP also features Gaye's rendition of the socially conscious tune \"Abraham, Martin & John\", which became a hit in the UK, peaking at #9 in June 1970. The single (and that of his duet single with Tammi Terrell titled \"The Onion Song\") is widely regarded as a hint of what would follow a year later with his \"What's Going On\". He also covered The Temptations' hits \"I Wish It Would Rain\" and \"Cloud Nine\".",

Madonna wrote six songs on the record, five of which feature Steve Bray as a co-writer. The album was recorded at Power Station Studio in New York at a quick pace. Rodgers enlisted the help of his former Chic bandmates Bernard Edwards, who was the bassist, and Tony Thompson, who played drums.

Roger used a custom-made talkbox—the Electro Harmonix \"Golden Throat,\" as well as a Moog Minimoog and later in his career a Yamaha DX100 FM synthesizer. As both band leader of Zapp and in his subsequent solo releases, he scored a bevy of funk and R&B hits throughout the 1980s.",

Gaye was showing signs of disillusionment from the label's powers-that-be mentality but it didn't affect the singer's performance as he gave a powerful vocal in the title track and was especially impressive with his version of The Beatles' \"Yesterday\". He achieved some success with a cover version of \"How Can I Forget?\" (originally recorded by The Temptations), which just missed out on the US Pop Top 40, making #41, and reached #18 on the R&B Charts. It's B-Side, a cover of Jimmy Ruffin's \"Gonna Give Her All the Love I've Got\", made a separate chart entry, and peaked at #67 and #27 on the Pop and Soul Charts respectively. Gaye also recorded a version of Ruffin's \"Don't You Miss Me a Little Bit Baby\" for the album. The LP also features Gaye's rendition of the socially conscious tune \"Abraham, Martin & John\", which became a hit in the UK, peaking at #9 in June 1970. The single (and that of his duet single with Tammi Terrell titled \"The Onion Song\") is widely regarded as a hint of what would follow a year later with his \"What's Going On\". He also covered The Temptations' hits \"I Wish It Would Rain\" and \"Cloud Nine\".",

Written by George Harrison, it was recorded mainly in February 1967 during the sessions for \"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band\" but the Beatles chose not to include it on that album.

The album was produced by John Leckie and engineered by Nigel Godrich, who would go on to co-produce all future albums by the band. \"The Bends\" marked the beginning of a shift in aesthetics and themes for the band, with greater use of keyboards and more abrasive guitar tracks, while balancing them with subtler ones. The introspective grunge-influenced style of their debut album \"Pablo Honey\" (1993) evolved into more multi-layered rock with cryptic lyrics and larger ideas, as the band and its lead singer and songwriter Thom Yorke reacted against the rigours of their near-constant world tours.",

It was rumored that the themes of trust and betrayal, particularly certain lyrics from the songs \"A Minor Variation\" and \"The Great Wall of China\", stem from Joel's legal disputes with his former manager and ex-brother-in-law, Frank Weber, who reportedly embezzled millions of dollars from Joel and used dubious accounting practices to cover it up.",

The cover art for the album is a lion roaring.",
"Thirty Three & 1/3 Thirty Three & ⅓ (stylised as Thirty Three & 1/ on the album cover) is the seventh studio album by English musician George Harrison, released in November 1976. It was Harrison's first album release on his Dark Horse record label, the worldwide distribution for which changed from A&M Records to Warner Bros. as a result of his late delivery of the album's master tapes.

The album contains the hit singles \"This Song\" – Harrison's satire on that court case and the notion of plagiarism in pop music – and \"Crackerbox Palace\". Despite the problems associated with the album, many music critics recognised \"Thirty Three & ⅓\" as a return to form for Harrison after his poorly received work during 1974–75, and considered it his strongest collection of songs since 1970's acclaimed \"All Things Must Pass\".",

"Dingo Fence The Dingo Fence or Dog Fence is a pest-exclusion fence that was built in Australia during the 1880s and finished in 1885, to keep dingoes out of the relatively fertile south-east part of the continent (where they had largely been exterminated) and protect the sheep flocks of southern Queensland. It is one of the longest structures in the world and is the world's longest fence. It stretches 5614 km from Jimbour on the Darling Downs near Dalby through thousands of kilometres of arid land ending west of Eyre peninsula on cliffs of the Nullarbor Plain above the Great Australian Bight near Nundroo. It has been partly successful, though dingoes can still be found in parts of the southern states. Although the fence has helped reduce losses of sheep to predators, this has been countered by holes in fences found in the 1990s through which dingo offspring have passed and by increased pasture competition from rabbits and kangaroos.",

Their opponents, the radical progressives in Weimar, were represented by Franz Liszt and the members of the so-called New German School (\"\"Neudeutsche Schule\"\"), and by Richard Wagner.

They then go into \"I'll Take Manhattan\" instead.

"The Big Come Up The Big Come Up is the debut studio album by the American rock duo The Black Keys, released in 2002 on Alive Records. The blues-rock duo includes singer and guitarist, Dan Auerbach, and drummer, Patrick Carney. The album was created in Akron, Ohio, also known as the Rubber City. As the two began to grow up, they realized that rubber companies, such as Goodyear, were a dying industry. They knew they were not guaranteed an automatic job by achieving a college degree, so the two dropped out of college to pursue their musical career. They began producing \"The Big Come Up\" in their basement. Carney and Auerbach recorded the album in Carney's basement, using two microphones bought off of eBay. They recorded their album on an 8-track tape recorder because there was no longer a need for a needle, it did not break or shatter, and it could be played in the car. The cheap equipment gave the album a grainy, lo-fi sound, almost as if it had been recorded in the 1960s. This made their album sound unprofessional, but in turn, gave them a sense of authenticity that was largely based on other popular rock artists, such as The White Stripes. The record contained thirteen songs. Eight of them were their own original tracks, and five were cover songs. These cover songs included covers of Muddy Waters, Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside. They also released an EP that included covers of the blues song \"Leaving' Trunk\" and the Beatles' song \"She Said, She Said\". The song \"I'll Be Your Man\" was used as the theme song for the HBO series \"Hung\". \"I'll Be Your Man\" also appeared on the FX series \"Rescue Me\". Alive Records re-presses this album regularly, often several times a year on different colored vinyl or with altered sleeve artwork. These are usually marketed as limited editions. Alive Records had released \"The Big Come Up\" on vinyl on at least 14 separate occasions, opening themselves up to criticism, particularly in regard to the marketing term \"limited edition\".",

Nevertheless, there is a meaningful degree of uniformity in written English within the United Kingdom, and this could be described by the term British English.

"West African Pidgin English West African Pidgin English, also called Guinea Coast Creole English, was the lingua franca, or language of commerce, spoken along the West African coast during the period of the Atlantic slave trade. British slave merchants and local African traders developed this language in the coastal areas in order to facilitate their commercial exchanges, but it quickly spread up the river systems into the West African interior because of its value as a trade language among Africans of different tribes. Later in its history, this useful trading language was adopted as a native language by new communities of Africans and mixed-race people living in coastal slave trading bases such as James Island, Bunce Island, Elmina Castle, Cape Coast Castle and Anomabu. At that point, it became a creole language.",

"English language in Northern England The English language in Northern England has been shaped by the region's history of settlement and migration, and today encompasses a group of related dialects known as Northern England English (or, simply, Northern English in the United Kingdom). Historically, the strongest influence on the varieties of the English language spoken in Northern England was the Northumbrian dialect of Old English, but contact with Old Norse during the Viking Age and with Irish English following the Great Famine have produced new and distinctive styles of speech. Some \"Northern\" traits can be found further south than others: only the northernmost accents of Northumberland and Tyneside retain the pre-Great Vowel Shift pronunciation of words such as \"town\" ( , \"\"toon\"\"), but all northern accents lack the – split, and this trait extends a significant distance into the Midlands."

"Immaculate Reception The Immaculate Reception is one of the most famous plays in the history of American football. It occurred in the AFC of the National Football League (NFL), between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Oakland Raiders at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on December 23, 1972.
