ROGER WATERS, DAVID GILMOUR COMFORTABLY NUMB @ O2 LONDON 12 MAY 2011

The surviving members of Pink Floyd reunited onstage May 12, 2011 at London's 02 Arena during a stop on Roger Waters' Wall tour - marking only the second time that Nick Mason, David Gilmour and Waters had played together in the last 30 years. Waters and Gilmour performed "Comfortably Numb" as the crowd at the arena went absolutely insane, and during the finale of "Outside the Wall," Gilmour returned to the stage alongside Mason, who played a tambourine.

X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage! Up Yours!

X-Ray Spex were an English punk band from London that formed in 1976.

During their first incarnation (1976–79), X-Ray Spex were “deliberate underachievers” and only managed to release five singles plus one album. Nevertheless, their first single, "Oh Bondage, Up Yours!", is now acknowledged as a classic punk rock single and the album, Germ Free Adolescents, is widely acclaimed as a classic album of the punk rock genre.

“X-Ray Spex were a wonderful, shambling, musical mess of rebellion, fashion and fun. Main muse Poly Styrene danced, yelped, screamed and sang over the joyful noise belted out by her punchy buzzsaw’n’biscuit-tin band while fighting off Laura Logic’s sax honks from stage left – all with a smile of pure glee.

sadly, Poly Styrene died of spinal and breast cancer on 25 April 2011.

The Vapors - Turning Japanese

"Turning Japanese" is the most popular song released by the English band The Vapors from their album New Clear Days, and the song for which they are best known. The song's lyrics mainly consist of the singer talking about pictures of his love. Musically, the song features an Oriental Riff played on guitar.


The song was believed to euphemistically refer to the face a male makes during the act of masturbation.[1] In a VH1 True Spin special the band denied this. Songwriter David Fenton explained: "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to."[2]

The band knew they had a hit with "Turning Japanese", so much so that they waited until their second single before releasing it, fearing that if they released it as their first they would become one-hit wonders, but they never matched its success.

The song enjoyed some sales in the Japanese charts on the back of its huge success in Australia, where it spent two weeks at Number One in June 1980.

Knight Mare Hare 1955

Knight-mare Hare is a 1955 animated cartoon short released by Warner Bros. Cartoons in the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Tedd Pierce. The cartoon stars Bugs Bunny in medieval times. It was released theatrically on October 1, 1955.

Plot

The cartoon, loosely based on Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, begins with Bugs Bunny reading a book on the Knights of the Round Table under a hairdryer. While reading, an apple falls and hits his head and he is somehow transported to the times of King Arthur. When he wakes up, he finds himself at the pointy end of a knight's lance. Bugs asks him, "What's up, Duke?" and the knight commands Bugs to surrender as prisoner of his lance. The knight identifies himself as "Sir O of Kay, Earl of Watercress, Sir Osis of The Liver, Knight of the Garter, and Baron of Wooster-cester-shister-shyster-schuster-shister-sister-shire...sher." Ready to take Bugs' challenge to tilt with him for the insult of Bugs' friends Duke of Ellington, Count of Basie, Earl of Hines, Cab of Calloway and Satchmo of Armstrong after Bugs peers down into the knight's helmet, who are called "upstarts and rogues", the knight offers Bugs a too heavy sword, then begins to charge at him, during several comedic attempts by Bugs to get the sword off the ground. At the last second, Bugs puts his leg out tripping the knight's horse. The horse falls and the knight pole vaults on his lance over the castle wall and into a high window of a castle tower, falling loudly to the bottom inside the tower.

Bugs is later chased by a fire-breathing dragon. He manages to defeat it by spraying seltzer into the dragon's mouth. With its fire lost, the powerless dragon whimpers and flees.

Bugs later goes to another castle, the residence of a warlock named Merlin of Monroe. Merlin changes Bugs into a pig with some "magic powder" -but Bugs simply unzips the "costume" into his normal self. He later tricks the warlock into becoming a donkey. Merlin tries to change himself back to normal by also "unzipping" - but ends up with the same donkey appearance, no matter how many times he unzips the costume. To try to return to the present, Bugs Bunny throws an apple in the air to hit him on the head ("Well, why not? After all, they laughed at the man when he discovered penicillin"). He is successful in this attempt, and walks down the country road, thinking that his adventure was just a dream...until he hears a farmer call his donkey "Merlin".

Where is the love to be found, oh People?
Nowhere around...

For I woke on Saturday morning
Feeling sticky and dirty after work
Took a walk down a riverside

I roll a little spliff
Sat down on a stone and start to cool off
With my burden down a riverside

For I check around the youths
And I try to teach the truth
Lay their burden on the riverside

I walk through every corner
Try to find someone to talk to but I have to
Lay their burden on the riverside

For I walk and I talk
And I linger and I search
Lay their burden on the riverside

And I walk, I met the youthman pocket
And I try to search around them
Lay their burden on the riverside

And I sat down quietly
Watch the fishes circle around the little stones
Lay their burden on the riverside

I cup my ears and I heard the little birds
Whistling in the tree like so
Lay their burden on the riverside

Live good among your neighbor
Like sister and brother and
Come with me a riverside

All you need is pray to Jah, quality
You see secret shall be revealed
Lay their burden on the riverside

(solo)

Jah provides for the birds in the air
And the fishes in the sea so what about me
Lay their burden on the riverside

Look at the crow they toil not neither do they spin
Yet father provide far them
Lay their burden on the riverside

Let us walk and talk
And pray quietly in search
Lay their burden on the riverside

Look at the color of those clothes, oh Jah
Make each and every one individually
Lay their burden on the riverside

Where is the love?
Where is the togetherness too?
Lay their burden on the riverside

I can't take the war and I can't take the shooting
Neither the looting, just
Lay their burden on the riverside

I tried around Rema
Even in The Jungle
To find a quiet rest

Round there in a Nannyville
My heart come to a trail
Lay their burden on the riverside

And I knock, and I search
And I whisper and I preach
Lay their burden on the riverside

Where is the quietness
And the love to be found in some corner?
Lay their burden on the riverside

Let us walk, let us search
Let us examine and let us see
Lay their burden on the riverside
