I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
a young French all-woman rock'n'roll band that formed a few years ago. They consist of:
Katty Beanard - vocals + guitar
Marine Neuilly - guitar
Louise Basillein - bass
Anais Vandevywere - drums.
Their sound is based on post-punk and New Wave styles, pretty similar to another great all-woman band from the 80's, the Go-Gos. The singing is done in both English and their native French. Their first album was LP1, which featured the hits "Loser", "Pop In, Pop Out" and the Joan Jett -inspired "Shake". Late last year they released "about love" - it's one of the best albums put out last year. Check them out, they're one terrific export from France.

1. The Plastiscines got their name from "plastiscine", a word found in the lyrics of the psychedelic Beatles hit "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". That word itself refers to a glue or cement which is sold in the U.K. and Europe.
2. The Plastiscines are the vanguard of what may well be a revival of rock'n'roll music. For over a decade there has been chumpy boy bands, gangsta (c)rap, American Idol puke pop, phony country, phony punk, phony r & b, stupid airheads who have zero talent who shake their butts (with dancers behind them), lip-syncing to a disc while people gawk in an empty-headed way, and other bullshit. Now here is an all-female rock group that writes and sings their songs and actually plays their own instruments. Yes they are young, cute and French (ooh la la) but they make and perform SONGS. Music is their #1 priority. How about them apples?
3. There's other fresh new bands too - the Danish boy/girl (ala Eurythmics) duo the Ravionettes, Datarock from Norway, the French band Phoenix and the new guitar goddess from Down Under - Orianthi Panagaris - all who are worth hearing. After so many years of musical hell and the "Worst Decade Ever" (the 00's), rock'n'roll and its culture may finally be coming back to life again. I hope so.

Get the Plastiscines mug.1. the opposite of GOOD. See some of the synonym tags below.
2. tough, cool, macho, poised, refined, alright, reserved, studly, get the idea? You don't have to be a man to be bad - some women fit into this category too. Also, "bad" isn't exclusively for straight people either. There are many gay men (and women) who are "bad" too. "Badness" is a description of a personality and character, not a shallow imitation.
3. Michael Jackson's famous album from 1987. It entered the album charts at Number One ( a rare feat at the time) and scored several big hits like the previous 1982 classic album "Thriller". However this time a new chart record was also achieved: BAD scored FIVE Number One hits - "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (with Siedah Garrett), the title track (... I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it...really really bad..."), "The Way You Make Me Feel" (... ain't nobody's business...), "Man In The Mirror" (...make that change!), and "Dirty Diana" (come ON!). Check it out.

5. BAD is also
Big
Audio
Dynamite,
a clubby techno dance rock band formed by Clash guitarist Mick Jones around 1984. They made innovative albums and in 1990 a new lineup resulted in BAD II. They're best known for their 1991 hit "Rush", about this time their music became oversampled big time. A few years later the band became just "Big Audio". They split up about a year afterward. The first BAD incarnation made the best stuff like "The Bottom Line" and "C'mon Every Beatbox".

1. Stay away from Vanessa, Rico. She is bad news. A real bad apple.
2. My girlfriend is a smoker but she keeps trying to quit. She says to me to don't ever start, it's a bad habit.
3. Billy Idol is one bad dude. You can tell by his songs, his videos, his sneer and his shows. They don't call him an "idol" for nothing!
4. U2 made a tune called "Bad". So have other people. Also, George Thorogood has proclaimed himself to be "Bad To The Bone". So have the reggae band Inner Circle on a different tune of the same name. They also scored a big hit "Bad Boys" (the theme from COPS).
5. Michael Jackson's BAD album had a chart run that lasted for the rest of the decade. The hits kept on a-comin'.
6. Al Bundy established his BAD club during one of the first few seasons of the show, IOW while it still had some funny elements to it, before it "jumped the shark".
7. Big Audio Dynamite's second album had Mick Jones' Clashmate Joe Strummer make a guest appearance on it.

Get the BAD mug.1. Quite possibly the worst and most addictive drug in the universe. The original way to cop it is via hyperdermic needles. Dirty needles can also give you some terrible diseases, including AIDS. It can also be snorted and then there's Mexican tar, which is smoked and can stop your heart in under 30 seconds. Either method can give you a quick "rush" but when it wears off you are really DOWN and you crash real hard.
2. In the 60s the Velvet Underground wrote a song called "Heroin". The pace and tempo of the music speeds up as Lou Reed sings the words describing the rush: smack gets into the veins, I feel like Jesus' son, etc. Then the electric viola puts out a slow drone and Lou stretches out the chorus words to similate the downful drag that comes after the fix wears off. At the last verse the electric guitar and electric viola rev it up in an onslaught and the drummer pounds the skins rapidly to emulate a junkie's pulse while on the fix again. Of course, this rapid increase in music playing, among other aspects of this song) became one of many inspirations for what would later be referred to as punk rock.

1. Richard from Reno, Nevada turned himself for detox treatment in Northern California. His IV use of heroin caused the veins in both his arms to collapse, making them solid purple. They looked like a massive bad tattoo botch job.
2. Heeeehhhh-ro-o-o-innn
It's my life
And it's my wife
It's going to be the death of me!
LOU REED
3. Geoff Tate of Queensryche described the motive behind the writing of "The Needle Lies". He said he never touched that smack but he knew some people who have. He said, "It's shit".
4. One time I was surfing the Net and I came upon a strange website. It detailed about how the Taliban cultivates opium, from which heroin is derived. The pagemaster exhorted junkies to be "patriotic" and quit buying horse from the Afghanistan region and to buy and use Mexican tar heroin only. (!). No shit. I ain't kidding. Can you believe it?!

Get the heroin mug.1. when I was in college I was reading the university newspaper while eating my lunch on the 3rd floor study lounge. Nearby I heard activity going on the same floor. After I finished lunch I went over there and the Student Muslim Organization was holding a vigil/teach-in about what was happening in Bosnia at the time. The details in the videotape, the atrocity accounts told, and the pictures were a bit much. I felt icky inside and ready to upchuck.
2. All the sorry-ass boy bands and pop tart "divas" make me wanna upchuck when their shit is played and broadcast like some sort of Orwellian Newspeak.
3. When the cops busted into the hotel to see if Marie Provost was OK they saw her deceased body and noticed that her hungry little dauschound had partially eaten her hand. This and other things there made the cops upchuck. This story is detailed in a Nick Lowe song. Check it out.
4. I really liked the Stallone flick "First Blood", it was pretty good. The follow-up sequels however are so sick and incredibly stupid they may make you upchuck because of their outright suckability.

Get the upchuck mug.1. waste material that can't be disgested or consumed by a person or an animal. Gooshy texture, horrible smell, good for nothing except to fertilize plants - maybe.
2. anything that can't be used for much of anything. Trash. Something substandard, especially when you need something better.
3. lies. A favorite tool for politicians and used car dealers and others who think you're an idiot.

1. a long time ago I was watching the Tonight Show and Jay Leno was joking about the recent American Music Awards show and the new categories that were added that night, who got nominated, who won and so on. He made up a new category: he said that if you combine country music and rap music what do you get?
Country + Rap makes CRAP.
2. Country was once vital, now it's cliched and formulaic. Since Barf Brooks hit it big it's become dumbed down crap for the yuppies.
3. Rap was once fun and creative as well. The first 3 albums by RUN-D.M.C., and stuff from the Fat Boys, L.L. Cool J and Tone Loc were good but now rap is mostly ultra-violent, pornographic, mysogynistic and stupid crap.
4. So look at what Jay Leno said. Combine today's country and today's rap and what do you get?

Get the crap mug.1. a series of art sculptures shaped like bears that are wearing various outfits. These statues are also colored in many different ways. They are exhibited in cities thruout Europe and beyond. Their function is for promoting peace and tolerance and diversity to children everywhere.
2. a trio of cartoon bears (Billy, Bobby, and Bertie) who frequently appear on the Saturday morning cartoon show "Garfield and Friends". They are the irritating bane of Garfield because he is an independent-minded fat cat who likes to eat lasagna, nap in his box, and watch TV all day. The Buddy Bears spout and espouse conformity in their song and dance routine with nauseating propagandic soul -crushing platitudes like "never have an opinion of your own".
3. any group of people who do and think everything together because SOMEBODY SAID SO. They NEVER question anything. It's "rally-around-whatever" for them. Sound like anything from the early 21st century?

1. The Buddy Bear statues are a great delight for children to see in metropolitan parks everywhere.
2. Oh, we are the Buddy Bears, we always get along ...
if you ever disagree, it means that you are wrong. Oh, we are the Buddy Bears, we always get along!
3. At the beginning of one episode after the opening song Garfield said that the Buddy Bears come on after the commercial break so you can practice your channel-flipping skills.
4. for the past number of years the American public has blindly accepted whatever crap has been dished out by self-appointed "experts".People forget that America became so great as it is by the thoughts and actions of those who don't "go with the flow" or "get with the program". The Buddy Bears and their lemming conformist type are the opposite of what American democracy is all about.
5. Bertie: It's noon. Where would we like to eat? I say we go to the salad bar.
Bobbie: Bertie has just suggested it and we are the Buddy Bears and we never disagree so I say we head to the salad bar.
Billy: Well Bertie and Bobby agree to go to the salad bar for lunch and we are the Buddy Bears and if I were to disagree then that would mean I would be wrong, so I say I we go to the salad bar.
All three bears: ALRIGHT! It's a deal! (they sing their little song again...)
6. Don't join the Buddy Bears crowd. Be yourself.

Get the Buddy Bears mug.during 1995 - 1996 the Beatles Anthology miniseries aired on TV (on Ay-Beatle-Cee in America of course) and 3 double disc sets containing outtakes, new engineered tracks, rare stuff and old gold from the days they called themselves the Quarrymen and more. The Anthology book came out a few years later (and it's a whopper - mamma mia, look at the size of the thing!).
During this time the American media referred to this as a "Beatles reunion" but since John Lennon was slain in 1980 there were only George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney around to promote the Anthology project. They posed for photos, gave a few impromptu performances and talked with the media. They themselves stated that this "reunion" was simply George, Ringo and Paul. In one now - famous photo the 3 are standing in front of a yellow tarp and Sir Paul is wearing round-lensed shades to honor John. Many sites in the Internet used the nickname "Threetles" to denote the three surviving Beatles.

Many sites in the Internet used the nickname "Threetles" to denote the three surviving Beatles.
1. The disbanded Beatles have worked together in various groupings and even all together, making some music that's still in "the can" but may see the light of day in the future. They have made guest appearances on each other's solo records as well, and they've worked on the Anthology together (in secret).
In early 1981 after John was killed by a nutcase in New York City Paul (with his wife Linda) and Ringo guested on a new hit by George. It was "All Those Years Ago", a tribute to John. It was on George's album, he wrote it, he sang it, he played guitar on it so it became a George hit. Technically it was a "Threetles" collaberation but no one officially called it that. The DJ on 92X said it was the 3 surviving Beatles.
2. The Threetles wrote, played and recorded at least 5 instrumental songs for the Anthology but they put them in the can as well since the 3 figured that those songs weren't really needed for the program. If they are ever released then under what name(s) will they be released as? It's just George, Ringo and Paul - the Threetles, not the Fab Four Beatles.
3. Since that time, sad to say, there can never be a "Threetles reunion" and a "Beatles reunion" is totally impossible - has been for quite some time. In late 2001, which was an ugly and horrible time to begin with, George Harrison died from lung cancer. Now there are only 2 Beatles left. R.I.P. George.
