HARD-Fi's debut album Stars of CCTV was initially recorded as a nine track mini-album in a disused mini cab office; it was then mixed in a variety of unusual acoustic environments - in bedrooms, in pubs, and in their producer, Wolsey White's, BMW. 1000 copies of this record were pressed with only 500 going on public sale. It quickly sold, receiving critical acclaim and radio play.

Amy Winehouse - You Know Im No Good

Trivia

* Winehouse has a number of "old skool" tattoos of naked women about her person. When asked about them, she was quoted as saying “I like pin-up girls. I’m more of a boy than a girl. I’m not a lesbian, though — not before a sambuca anyway.”[25]
* Winehouse's favourite cocktail is a Rickstasy (three parts vodka, one part Southern Comfort, one part banana liqueur, and one part Baileys). “By the time you’ve had two of them you’re like, don’t even try and go anywhere. Sit down and stay down, until the birds start singing.”[22]
* She was friends with Matt Willis and, for a brief time Billie Piper whilst at the Sylvia Young Theatre School.[3]
* In November 2006 Winehouse was featured in NME Magazine's annual Cool list for the first time, reaching Number 50.
* She also made an appearance on the third series of The Fast Show, appearing in a school play sketch featuring Simon Day in his "Competitive Dad" guise — which seemed to be in jest "considering the nature of the show."
* On January 10th Amy sang for BBC Radio 1 Show The Live Lounge. During the session, Amy sung her new single "You Know I'm No Good", and covered the Zutons song "Valerie".

Rick James - Super Freak

REM - "It's the End of the World"

Trivia

* The band members picked the name R.E.M. out of the dictionary. They liked the name because it was so ambiguous and was easy to write on posters and put on buttons.[8] They started out as Twisted Kites for the first show they played at a party, but, according to It crawled from the South, they considered Negro Eyes, Slut Bank, and Cans of Piss before settling for R.E.M.
* According to one boxed set of their albums, R.E.M. stands for Rapid Ear Movement, a play on Rapid Eye Movement.
* In 1982, R.E.M. was the first band to play Chicago's Metro.
* In 2001, R.E.M appeared in an episode of The Simpsons called "Homer the Moe", as themselves.
* R.E.M. re-wrote "Shiny Happy People" for their guest appearance in Sesame Street. It was re-named "Furry Happy Monsters" and features Buck, Mills and Stipe playing amid a group of Muppets.
* Disappointed with the results of his lip-synching in the band's first video, "Wolves, Lower", Michael Stipe vowed never to lip-synch in a video again. He performed vocals live for all of R.E.M.'s videos until 1991's "Losing My Religion". He changed his mind after watching Sinéad O'Connor video for "Nothing Compares 2 U". Stipe has lip-synched in the video for the lead single from each album since.
* When Rolling Stone named R.E.M. "America's Best Band" in November 1987, drummer Bill Berry said, "We're not the best rock 'n' roll band in America." Pylon, he said, was the best.
* In 1996, the entire band excluding Mike Mills cowrote "Slapstick Heart" for Sam Phillips' album Omnipop (It's Only A Flesh Wound Lambchop).
* In response to R.E.M.'s release of Green, Chicago-based band Green released a CD entitled R.E.M.
* R.E.M.'s album Green was referenced in the episode 'Animals R Us' of the TV show Northern Exposure. (Maggie O'Connell's late boyfriend is said to have been accustomed to listening to the album and singing along with it after dinner each night.)

CRACKERJACK JUNCTION sings THE EWOK CELEBRATION SONG

Ewok Celebration (also known as Yub Nub from its incipit, which means 'freedom' in Ewokese) is a musical theme recurring in the ending of the Return of the Jedi. It was composed by John Williams.
It is the song sung during the celebration of the Ewoks on Endor with the Rebel Alliance pilots after the destruction of the Death Star II.
The song's lyrics are in the language of the Ewoks.
In the 1997 edition of the movie (see List of changes in Star Wars re-releases), a different song (Victory Celebration) without lyrics replaces the original version. Like several other changes in the original movies made for the new editions, some fans of the films were somewhat upset with the absence of the song. It does not even appear on newer soundtracks, availible only in an obscure box set.
The song appears in an episode of the sitcom Spaced; the producers could not acquire the rights to use the original recording, so Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg performed and recorded their own version.
The song has been covered by the rock band The Solids.
It was used as the name entry music for the Return of the Jedi arcade game released in 1984.
