  • Daughtry's New Album Cage to Rattle out Now
    DAUGHTRY’S NEW ALBUM CAGE TO RATTLE OUT NOW RELEASES LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO OF CURRENT SINGLE “DEEP END” – WATCH HERE HEADLINE TOUR UNDERWAY! “The band fronted by the American Idol alum still stomps and swaggers on this fifth LP, which is loaded with still more no-frills, down-and-dirty area rock. And, of course, there’s the guy behind the mike: He easily upstages most other contemporary rockers”- People Magazine (July 27- New York, NY)— Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated chart-topping rock band Daughtry unveil their anxiously awaited fifth full-length album, Cage To Rattle [19 Recordings/RCA Records], in stores and at all digital retailers. Additionally, the group releases a performance video of their current single, “Deep End” (watch here). Get the album HERE. The record is currently #2 on the iTunes Top Rock Albums Chart and #5 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart. Cage To Rattle sees Daughtry once again firing on all cylinders. Produced by Jacquire King [Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Norah Jones] in Nashville, the album echoes the relentless energy and uncontainable spirit of the group’s most definitive anthems, while advancing boldly into new territory. Whether it’s the bluesy stomp and snap of “Backbone” or the sweeping piano of latest single “Deep End,” the album evinces evolution across the board for the musicians.

  • This Ain't a Scene, It's a Buzzer Race.Pdf
    This Ain’t a Scene, It’s a Buzzer Race Sadboys are temporary. Sad trumpets are forever. Written by Brian Luong Tossups: 1. This band’s extensive and impressive merchandise catalogue can be attributed to guitarist Nick Steinhardt’s side occupation as a graphic designer. A live EP following this band’s sophomore studio album was titled Live on BBC Radio 1 and featured vocals from Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute. It’s not Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this band’s distinct asterisk-shaped logo was meant to evoke converging road markings leading to a sunset, and was first used in promotional artwork for the band’s second album, with that album’s initials “PTSBBAM” arranged in the negative spaces of the logo. This band’s 2016 single “Palm Dreams” was described by their frontman as a song about his inability to ask his mother about why she moved to California after she passed. The album from which that single is taken, as a whole, deals with themes of frontman Jeremy Bolm grieving the loss of his mother due to cancer. For 10 points, give the name of this Los Angeles-based post-hardcore band, which you may know from the albums Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me and Stage Four. ANSWER: Touché Amoré 2. This website once hosted a stand-up and sketch comedy tour titled All Comics Are Bastards. This website’s sister site was also responsible for the creation and management of the Twitter account of Ace Watkins, whose bio reads, “The only Gamer running for President of the United States”.

  • Comp Comm Report 2010 (TM and LN) – Appendices and Glossary
    APPENDIX A Terms of reference and conduct of the inquiry Terms of reference 1. On 10 June 2009 the OFT sent the following reference to the CC: 1. In exercise of its duty under section 33(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (‘the Act’) to make a reference to the Competition Commission (‘the CC’) in relation to an anticipated merger the Office of Fair Trading (‘the OFT’) believes that it is or may be the case that— (a) arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation in that: (i) enterprises carried on by or under the control of Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. will cease to be distinct from enterprises carried on by or under the control of Live Nation, Inc.; and (ii) the value of the turnover in the United Kingdom of the enterprise being taken over, as specified in section 23(1)(b) of the Act, exceeds £70 million; and (b) the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services, including the supply of live music ticket agency services. 2. Therefore, in exercise of its duty under section 33(1) of the Act, the OFT hereby refers to the CC, for investigation and report within a period ending on 24 November 2009, on the following questions in accordance with section 36(1) of the Act— (a) whether arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services.
