Oasis

An Alternative Rock/Britpop band active from 1991 to 2009, fronted by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. Hit the big time in 1995 with the album "(What's the Story) Morning glory" and the song "Wonderwall". Other good songs include "Supersonic", "Champagne Supernova", and "The Shock of the lightning". Sadly, brotherly love wasn't always present in the band, and the last few years became less about music and more about Liam and Noel trying to one up each other (though their last album, 2008's "Dig out your soul" was pretty good), which lead to the band's breakup in Fall 2009. Noel started his own project while the other members and Liam started the band Beady Eye.

Oasis was a good band. It's too bad Liam and Noel couldn't work out their differences too well.

Beavis and Butthead Do America

A freaking hilarious 1996 movie based on the MTV animated series Beavis and Butthead. The plot of the film finds the duo looking for their stolen TV and, in doing so, becoming involved in the plot of two crooks and end up becoming "the most dangerous men in America".

Mike Judge, who also is the creator of the series, naturally voices the duo (among other series regulars) in the film, while guest voices for the film include Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Robert Stack, Cloris Leachman, Greg Kinnear, and David Letterman (though he was credited under a different name). The film's soundtrack includes music from White Zombie, Isaac Hayes, Rancid, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and AC/DC.

I was gonna go to a party tonight, but I didn't feel well so I ended up watching Beavis and Butthead Do America.

withdrawn course

College term for a class that gets cancelled for a semester due to insufficient enrollment by the semester's start date.

This does not mean the college has removed the class altogether. They still plan to offer it in the future starting the next semester (assuming they meet the minimum required enrollment by the specified date).

Greg: So how's music theory going?

Tom: It became a withdrawn course after only five students signed up for it. I'll just try again next semester.

Youtube

The video sharing site that allows you to "broadcast yourself". Launched in 2005 and purchased by Google in 2006, the site was good until around late 2008/early 2009 when Youtube started acting more like a dictatorship, enforcing stupid copyright rules, forcing users to adapt to new designs and formats they don't want, eliminating user groups, and requiring users to sit through ads before letting them watch their video. If you are thinking of starting an account I urge you to reconsider. If you currently have an account, I would consider deleting it and not returning until Youtube agrees to return to the way things worked from around 2005-mid 2008.

Youtube has gone to hell since Google took over. They want to kick the everyday you and me users off the site and only allow popular people like Fred and Rebecca Black to post videos. To the YT heads, if you don't pay money, you aren't worth their time.

Randy Michaels

A fat disgusting pig of a human who hates music and enjoys destroying great music stations for his own financial gain. Current CEO of Merlin Media and former CEO of Chicago-based Tribune Co. Michaels became public enemy number one in Chicago in June 2011 after it was announced he had purchased alternative radio station Q101 and planned to turn it into a news/talk station. The station's staff was let go on July 14th and the station became a news station later that month.

"My favorite radio format has always been spoken radio"

"As music moves to the ipod, it's time for news radio to move to FM"
-both quotes from Randy Michaels, who is one of the most hated men in Chicago

MTV

From 1981-1997, MTV was a great network, playing great (and sometimes not so great) music and good programming, most notably Beavis and Butthead. However, around 1997, MTV started focusing on Pop music, shifting away from the Rock music that made them famous, and canceling Beavis and Butthead (though fortunately brought it back in 2011). While MTV did air decent reality shows in the early part of the 21st century like Jackass and Viva La Bam, it was mainly focused on crap-tacular programs like Room Raiders. Then in 2009 started the era of their worst programs-crap like Teen Mom, 16 and Pregnant, and worst of all Jersey Shore. MTV is now a network of complete filth and is in need of a complete overhaul.

MTV was once a great network for music but now focuses on the most mind-numbing crap imaginable.

Charlie Harper

Charlie Sheen's character on Two and a half men. A hedonistic ladies man who works as a commercial jingle writer (and at least once a children's song writer). Harper was almost a mirror image of Sheen (the major difference being drug use, Sheen being a major user of most drugs whereas Harper only occasionally does weed, though still drinks a lot). Charlie does not enjoy the company of his mother Evelyn or brother Alan, but does occasionally enjoy hanging out with his nephew Jake (though does not hold back from making fun of his slow intelligence and frequent "toilet usage").

Sheen was fired from the show on March 7, 2011. For the upcoming ninth season, Harper will have been killed off in Paris after being hit by a train (reported as an accident but may have been done by wife/former stalker Rose due to her catching him with another woman). His house will be purchased by Walden Schmidt (played by Ashton Kutcher).

Charlie Harper was the heart of Two and a half men. Even if Kutcher's character is twice as funny, it still won't be able to replace him.
