Mickey “Guitar” Baker was a music instructor, and Sylvia Robinson was one of his pupils. His guitar stylings, especially the insane soloing on “Love Is Strange”, inspired a plethora of guitarists, including Sterling Morrison of the Velvet Underground.
Mickey & Sylvia had a hit with “Love Is Strange” in 1957. They continued to record together until 1965. After that, Mickey had a successful career as a studio musician. Sylvia had a huge hit (#1 R&B, #3 Pop) in 1973 with the song “Pillow Talk”, and later assisted in the formation of the Sugar Hill rap label.

Louis Philippe (real name: Philippe Auclair) is a London-based French singer, songwriter, arranger and producer who has been active from the mid-80’s onwards. His name is associated with the short-lived, but very influential él record label; since this label’s demise (1989), he has grown into one of the ‘elder statesmen’ of indiepop.

Born in 1959, he first recorded for Belgian label Les Disques du Crepuscule, under the names ‘The Border Boys’ (the ‘Tribute’ 12″ EP, produced by Andy Paley, who’d worked with The Ramones and the Modern Lovers previously), and ‘The Arcadians’ (one single and one album, ‘It’s a Mad, Mad World’, 1986, later re-released on a variety of labels as ‘Let’s Pretend’). On the advice of A&R man Mike Alway, Louis Philippe moved to London in late 1986, and soon became one of the major figures of cult indie label él Records (1986-1989), a subsidiary of Cherry Red Records for which he recorded five singles and three albums (’Appointment With Venus’, 1987; ‘Ivory Tower’, 1988; ‘Yuri Gagarin’, 1989). He also appeared in one guise or another - as songwriter, arranger, backing vocalist or instrumentalist - on more than half of all the label’s releases. él, now considered to be one of the most influential labels of its time, was, however, not a commercial success in the UK; but it scored a string of independent hits in Japan, where Louis Philippe (whose ‘You Mary You’ was él’s best-selling single) became an iconic figure for the so-called Shibuya-kei, or ‘Shibuya Sound’.
Following the demise of él in 1989, he turned to Japan to pursue his career, with the support of celebrity fans such as Cornelius. A number of albums followed, all of them released on the Trattoria label: ‘Rainfall’, 1991; ‘Jean Renoir’, 1992, both of them recorded with multi-instrumentalist Dean Brodrick; ‘Delta Kiss’, 1993; ‘Sunshine’, produced by Bertrand Burgalat, 1994; ‘Jackie Girl’, 1996, the first of his records to feature XTC guitarist Dave Gregory; ‘Azure’, recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and ‘Nusch’, a collection of Francis Poulenc mélodies, 1999. All these albums were conceived and realised with the help of long-time collaborator, pianist and double-bassist Danny Manners. Trattoria’s help enabled him to find licenses for these records, first in France, Britain and Spain, then in the USA, where he’d assembled a limited but devoted fanbase. These critically well-received records consolidated his ‘cult’ status in the indiepop world; a couple of them charted: ‘L’Hiver te va bien’ reached the Top 30 in France in 1994, while ‘She Means Everything To Me’ reached the no.1 spot on the Campus Radios Charts in the USA in 1998, following an appearance at New York’s CMJ Music Marathon. However, crossover success still proved, and proves elusive, despite the accessibility of his music and the regard he’s held in among pop connoisseurs.
Louis Philippe has enjoyed a parallel career as an arranger, producer and instrumentalist since the late 80’s. The artists he’s worked with, or for, include Valerie Lemercier, April March, P.J. Proby, Martin Newell, Sean O’Hagan of The High Llamas, Matilde Santing, Towa Tei, Nina Morato, Cinnamon, Laïla Amezian, La Buena Vida, The Clientele and many others. A collaboration of note was the album ‘9th & 13th’ (Tricatel, 2001), in which he teamed up with Danny Manners and novelist Jonathan Coe, to produce musical settings for the latter’s writings. Jonathan Coe, who’d contributed the sleevenotes to ‘Azure’, and had used a verse of his song ‘Yuri Gagarin’ as an epigraph for his best-seller ‘What a carve up!’, has also written a number of lyrics for him since ‘My Favourite Part of You’ (2002).
Louis Philippe has lately been working with ex-Young Marble Giants leader Stuart Moxham, with whom he regularly plays live, and now runs his own record label, Wonder Records, in London. His latest releases include ‘My Favourite Part of You’ (2002) and ‘The Wonder of it All’ (2004). A live double-album was released in February 2007, followed by a new studio album, entitled ‘An Unknown Spring’, in May of the same year.<p>
A Very Special Christmas Live is the fourth in a series of Christmas music-themed compilation albums produced to benefit the Special Olympics. The album was recorded in Washington, D.C. at a benefit party held by then President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton in December 1998 to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Special Olympics. In October 1999, it was released under the production supervision of Bobby Shriver for A&M Records.

The Swedish hardcore act When we fall was formed in Gothenburg in the fall of 2003.
Their music is fast, aggressive. Mix that with a lot of anxiety and emotional parts and you’ll have When we fall. Their first EP, A Cry in Despair was released on The Emo Foundation in 2005 and then re-released on Panic Records in 2006. According to the band’s website, they have recorded a full-length album which will be released in Fall 2007.
“We All Go Through” is a song written by David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels in 1999, for the computer game Omikron - The Nomad Soul. Bowie and Gabrels wrote several songs for this game, and most of these was released on the album ‘hours…’. “We All Go Through” was, however, only released on the Japanese version of the album.
All I Really Want for Christmas is the second Christmas album by Steven Curtis Chapman, released in September 2005. The album includes traditional holiday favorites such as “Go Tell It on the Mountain” and “Silver Bells”, but also includes Chapman’s adopted daughter, Shaohannah, telling Luke 2:7-14 in her own words. Chapman’s artistic flavor shows through in each and every song.
“One More Saturday Night” is a song written by Bob Weir and performed by the Grateful Dead. Weir is credited with writing “One More Saturday Night”, although there is evidence that the song was originally written by Robert Hunter, with different lyrics. Weir wanted to call his version “US Blues”, but Hunter did not agree and disavowed himself of the song.<ref>Grateful Dead Lyric and Song Finder: One More Saturday Night</ref>
The song was first performed on 19 October 1971 by the Grateful Dead, and first appeared on Bob Weir’s Ace album, and The Grateful Dead’s Europe ‘72 live album. After that it became a regular part of the Dead’s repertoire, and as might be expected, was frequently heard on Saturday shows; with its short, compact form and energetic crescendoes, it was a popular break from some of the Dead’s more challenging pieces. It has more recently been performed by the reunited The Dead, and by Bob Weir’s own band, Ratdog.
Comedian and political commentator Al Franken, a Grateful Dead fan who uses the group’s music on his radio show, named his 1986 comedy film One More Saturday Night after the song. In the same idea, basketball great and Deadhead extrordinaire Bill Walton’s 2000s Sirius satellite radio show is named after the song.

In the fictional Robotech universe, Tirol is the homeworld of the Robotech Masters, who are the leaders of their race - the Tirolians, and their bioengineered Zentraedi troops. Tirol is the third moon distant from the blue-green, Jupiter-sized planet Fantoma, whose large ring system is extremely mineral rich. Fantoma is located in the Valivarre star system.
Tiresia is Tirol’s capital city and in its center is a pyramidal structure called the Great Hall, which is the seat of the planetary government. There is also a mining outpost not far from Tiresia called Rylac. Tirolian architecture appears to be Greco-Roman, for need of a Terran counterpart.
Tirol was the seat of power of the Robotech Masters Empire. After the Zentraedi failure to capture the SDF-1, and the inminent invasion by the Invid, the Masters depart with their massive spacefortresses towards Earth, in hope to capture the last supply of Protoculture in the known universe to be able to make a stand against the Invid, this being totally unknown to Earth’s forces. What was left after the Masters departure was easily overtaken by the war-inspired Invid. When the Robotech Expeditionary Force arrived at Tirol, the Masters had already departed, leaving behind the old, young, infirm, and incomplete clone triumvirates, who were incapable of defending against the Invid aggression. After being liberated by the Robotech Expeditionary Force, these Tirolians would establish a successor government to the Masters (who were killed in the Second Robotech War), designed after Earth-based democracies.
