Powder were a Britpop band who existed between 1994 and 1997 and released three singles on Parkway Records. Signed in late 1994 by well known music Public Relations agents John Best and Phill Savidge, they were the first band on the label. Powder were fronted by Pearl Lowe, with songwriters Mark Thomas on guitar and Tim McTighe on bass. Their first single "20th Century Gods", a Select Single Of The Month, sold out of its pressing of 1,500 within two days. This was followed by the release of "Afrodisiac" in June 1995 and appearances at music festivals as well as prime-time BBC music special Britpop Now.
As the Parkway offices were situated in Camden, Powder were subjected to a fair amount of criticism from the music press for being a "Scenester" band, though in fact none of them actually lived there. They also acquired a stigma for touring with Menswear, who were at that time continually mocked by the NME and Melody Maker.
After the release of their third and last single "Deep Fried" in November 1995 Powder stopped touring as Pearl was pregnant. By the time she was ready to tour again the band was finished, finally announcing their split in 1997 with a retrospective release of the tracks from their three singles in Japan.
Pearl went on to front Lodger and has recently released a solo album.

Usually refers to amphetamine HCl or amphetamine sulfate (the active ingredient in adderall). It's the best way to fly through loada of homework and chores. It may sometimes contain isopropylamphetamine to mimic extended release formulas. If it's just amphetamine salts, it acts like a instant release formula. The oral dose range is 5mg to 20mg mixed in juice, water, or an energy drink. Not recommended to be taken more than twice a week.
I took 10mg of adderall powder and it was awesome. College became fun and all the subjects they force on you that's unrelated to your field of atudy became less dull for a while. Chores were fun too. It goes grwat with fluorenol, nefiracetam, and prolintane. Cycle it on and off.

A day after/during an amazing snowfall in the mountains where the ski area is transformed into a slice of heaven by light, fluffy, deep powder snow. Skiers and snowboarders have perma-grin etched on their faces for at least 24 hours. Exultant whooping can be heard all around. This is your chance to huck huge cliffs and try a backflip with no consequences. If you miss it you will hear about it the next day and feel regret.
1. Next powder day, I am definitely calling in sick.
2. We haven't had a good powder day around here in weeks.
3. One has no friends on a powder day (meaning the good snow conditions trump all family and friend relationships, I will not meet you for lunch, I will not help you move, I will not go to your wedding, because tomorrow is going to be a powder day, sorry buddy).

To dose off... Pass out briefly... or power nap. During a heavy cocaine binge, normally consisting of “train track” sized bailers.
