Gone is a song by American indie pop band JR JR from their self-titled third album, JR JR in 2015. The song was written by the duo, along with Dan Nigro. The music video for the song was released on August 19, 2015. Gone peaked at #38 on the American Hot Rock Songs chart and #17 on the Rock Airplay chart.
The music video begins with short clips of people who seem to be bothered, when their lower halves detach from their upper halves and run around, before they are seen dancing, walking, and enjoying themselves around a city. It also features a quick cameo of the band on a newspaper under a headline. The song ends with the duo on a television in an 8-bit animation style and some legs running towards the camera.
The song was featured in the trailer and soundtrack of the movie Sausage Party, as well as in the 2016 hit movie Bad Moms.The song was also used in a 2020 Chase Bank TV advertisement, and also appeared in a Kinder Joy TV commercial the same year.
Rush is a 2013 biographical sports film centered on the Hunt–Lauda rivalry between two Formula One drivers, the British James Hunt and the Austrian Niki Lauda during the 1976 Formula 1 motor-racing season. It was written by Peter Morgan, directed by Ron Howard and starred Chris Hemsworth as Hunt and Daniel Brühl as Lauda. The film premiered in London on September 2, 2013 and was shown at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival before its United Kingdom release on 13 September 2013.
Some things in the film are exaggerated (like the Hunt–Lauda rivalry; in reality they had shared a flat early in their careers and were good friends), others downplayed (like Lauda’s wife’s shock at his disfigurement), and others invented (like Hunt beating up a reporter or the Nürburgring nickname being “the graveyard;” in fact Jackie Stewart had nicknamed it “the Green Hell”). A further inaccuracy is that when Lauda’s car was in flames, another driver, Arturo Merzario, released his seatbelts and succeeded in pulling Lauda out of his car, not four as shown in the movie. Other inaccuracies include the British F3 battle at Crystal Palace, which in reality was between Hunt and Dave Morgan, and Hunt’s overtake on Regazzoni for 3rd place in the Japanese Grand Prix when in the actual race he passed Alan Jones. Another error in the Japanese Grand Prix is that Regazzoni and Laffite finished fourth and fifth, while in the actual race it was Jones and Regazzoni who finished fourth and fifth. In the end scene an incident is described where Hunt, while being a TV broadcaster, comes to a meet-up with Lauda on a bicycle with a flat tire. In reality this incident happened while Hunt ran out of money and fell into alcohol addiction. On this day Lauda gave him money to rebuild his life. Hunt, after Lauda gave him money a second time, fixed his life and got a job as a television broadcaster.
The culmination of the 1975 championship is depicted, 38 minutes into the picture, as occurring at the U.S. Grand Prix. Lauda is shown in a wheel-to-wheel dice with Hunt’s Hesketh 308B. In reality, the title was decided in Lauda’s favour at the previous race, in Italy, and the two drivers were never together on track at Watkins Glen. Lauda won that race from start to finish, whilst Hunt trailed in fourth, driving the new Hesketh 308C.
Mezzanine is the third studio album by English electronic music group Massive Attack, released on April 20, 1998 by Circa and Virgin Records. The album saw the group exploring a darker aesthetic and more atmospheric style, influenced by electronica, post-punk, hip hop and dub music.
Mezzanine topped the charts in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, becoming the group’s most commercially successful album to date. It spawned four singles: Risingson (#11 in the UK); Teardrop (#10 in the UK, it topped the charts in Iceland); Angel (#30 in the UK) and Inertia Creeps (#16 in New Zealand).
The cover art depicts a black stag beetle on a white background, photographed by Nick Knight at the Natural History Museum in London.
Mezzanine has been described as featuring trip hop and electronica, with a “dark claustrophobia” coupled with a melancholy. Musically, the album is a major departure from the jazzy and laidback sound of the first two albums, Blue Lines and Protection, invoking the dark undercurrents which had always been present in the collective’s music. The album’s textured and deep tone relies heavily on abstract and ambient sounds.
Years after the album was released, it was placed on several best-of lists in the UK and the United States. In 2000, Q magazine placed Mezzanine at number 15 on its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2013, it was placed at 215 on NME‘s list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 412 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and while it was not included in the 2012 update of the list, it reentered the 2020 update ranked at number 383.
As of February 2010, the album had sold 560,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. By July 1998, the album is reported to have sold 1.3 million copies worldwide. By April 2000, it is reported to have sold 2.5 million copies worldwide.
Mezzanine was remastered and reissued for its 20th anniversary. The 2 CD anniversary edition was released on August 23, 2019, and comes with a bonus disc of previously unreleased dub mixes by the Mad Professor, which were originally intended to be released on a Mezzanine remix album.

José Ariel Camacho Barraza was a Mexican singer-songwriter who performed the Sierreño and Regional Mexican music genre. He was the lead singer of his band, Ariel Camacho y Los Plebes del Rancho. In 2013 Ariel Camacho y Los Plebes del Rancho signed to JG Records. Then In 2014 they signed with DEL Records.
Ariel Camacho was born to Benito Camacho and Reynalda Barza on July 8, 1992 in Guamuchil, Sinaloa. He started singing at the age of 12 in Angostura, Sinaloa. When he was in middle school, he met César Iván Sánchez, who played guitar and did back up vocals. Camacho later sought to expand his group and found a tuba player, Omar Burgos. His first concert was held in Tijuana, in which he played for more than 40,000 people. He quickly became known for his expressive way of playing the requinto (12 string guitar). He became known as “La Tuyia” due to a childhood nickname given to him by his grandfather because his guitar was much bigger than him. He decided to form a band in the start of 2013. His band “Ariel Camacho y Los Plebes del Rancho” consisted of “El Tigre”, Cesar Sánchez (rhythm guitar and backing vocals) and Omar Burgos, “El Cenizo” (tuba). Camacho was the lead singer and played lead guitar (Requinto) in the band. His band quickly became known due to their unusual combination of standard guitar, requinto, and tuba. Among their most successful songs were Hablemos, Te Metiste, El Karma and Rey de Corazones. He was later nicknamed “El Rey de Corazónes” after releasing Rey de Corazones a song that quickly made his group known through social media. Camacho was praised for maintaining a classical element in his regional music by paying attention to the songwriters who had come before him such as Miguel y Miguel (Camacho’s favorite artists). He was also a frequent collaborator with other corrido singers, including Grupo Fernandez, Marca Registrada, Los Traviesos De La Sierra and Regulo Caro.
On February 25, 2015, Camacho and four other people were in a car accident on the road from Angostura, Sinaloa. Camacho was returning from a performance at a music festival, Carnaval de Mocorito. Camacho and two others died and two other persons were injured. They were riding in a 2004 Honda Accord when Camacho lost control. The accident reportedly occurred at two in the morning on Highway Angostura- La Reforma. Camacho died on impact. It is unclear whether he was driving intoxicated although it was reported he was driving at excessive speed. He had posted a video on his Facebook page a day before his death, inviting his fans and “all the beautiful ladies out there” to attend his next concert in March 2015. He died at the age of 22.
Following his death, his group’s song El Karma reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in March and the album hit the top five of the Latin albums chart. Shortly after his death, his band Los Plebes del Rancho changed their name as a tribute to Camacho to Los Plebes Del Rancho de Ariel Camacho. They continue to make albums in honor of Camacho, like Recuerden Mi Estilo, alongside Camacho’s father, Benito Camacho. Many have paid tribute to Camacho through the use of songs such as Virlan Garcia with Hasta el Cielo, Los Traviezoz de la Zierra with Mis Ultimos Momentos and Un Mentado Ariel. An album in tribute to Camacho was also released in 2017 called Ariel Camacho Para Siempre that features artists such as Gerardo Ortiz, Regulo Caro, and Revolver Cannabis. Each year on the 25th of February in memory of Camacho, his band, family members, fans, and other artists come together at his grave to commemorate him. Ariel is now known by many as “El Rey del Requinto”, “El Mentado”, “Rey de Corazones” and “La Tuyia.”
Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Thomas Cautley Newby, 1848)
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is the second and final novel written by English author Anne Brontë. It was first published in 1848 under the pseudonym Acton Bell. Probably the most shocking of the Brontës’ novels, it had an instant and phenomenal success, but after Anne’s death her sister Charlotte prevented its re-publication in England until 1854.
The novel is framed as a series of letters from Gilbert Markham to his friend about the events connected with his meeting a mysterious young widow, calling herself Helen Graham, who arrives at Wildfell Hall, an Elizabethan mansion which has been empty for many years, with her young son and a servant. Contrary to the early 19th century norms, she pursues an artist’s career and makes an income by selling her pictures. Her strict seclusion soon gives rise to gossip in the neighbouring village and she becomes a social outcast. Refusing to believe anything scandalous about her, Gilbert befriends her and discovers her past. In the diary she gives Gilbert, she chronicles her husband’s physical and moral decline through alcohol and debauchery in the dissipated aristocratic society. Ultimately she flees with her son, whom she desperately wishes to save from his father’s influence. The depiction of marital strife and women’s professional identification has also a strong moral message mitigated by Anne Brontë’s belief in universal salvation.
Most critics now consider The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to be one of the first feminist novels. May Sinclair, in 1913, said that “the slamming of [Helen’s] bedroom door against her husband reverberated throughout Victorian England.” In leaving her husband and taking away their child, Helen violates not only social conventions but also the early 19th century English law.
The Official All Star Cafe was a chain of sports themed restaurants developed by Planet Hollywood. Planet Hollywood recruited Wayne Gretzky, Joe Montana, Shaquille O’Neal, Ken Griffey, Jr., Andre Agassi, and Monica Seles to invest in the concept. Restaurants featured “stadium cuisine” and sales of professional sports merchandise and souvenirs.
The chain’s first location opened on December 18, 1995, at Times Square in New York City. Two more locations opened the next year in Cancun and at the Showcase Mall on the Las Vegas Strip.
Planet Hollywood International announced on September 25, 1997, the formation of a joint venture for an Official All Star Hotel.
With theme restaurants’ novelty wearing off and Planet Hollywood’s reorganizing by December 1998, Planet placed the chain up for sale. Also, the plans for a Chicago location were canceled.
From 1997 until 2001, Official All Star Cafe locations also were to be operated alongside Planet Movies by AMC entertainment complexes at select locations in the United States. An Official All Star Cafe was also located at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex in 1997, its opening year.
With its parent company’s first bankruptcy filing of October 11, 1999, one location was closed, leaving nine corporate locations. In February 2000 after exiting bankruptcy, Disney offered to purchase the location at its sports complex. The last Official All Star Cafe, the one at Disney’s Wide World of Sports, closed on September 23, 2007.
Daria is an American adult animated sitcom created by Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn. The series ran from March 3, 1997, to January 21, 2002 (5 seasons and 65 episodes), on MTV. It focuses on the title character, Daria Morgendorffer, an intelligent, cynical high school student.
It is a spin-off of Mike Judge’s earlier animated series, Beavis and Butt-Head, in which Daria appeared as a recurring character. Although Judge allowed the character to star in a spin-off, he had no involvement in the production of Daria himself, as he was busy working on King of the Hill.
In June 2019, MTV announced a Daria animated spin-off series, Jodie (originally Daria & Jodie), with actress Tracy Grandstaff voicing the titular character and serving as an executive producer. The network characterized the series as the first in multiple projected Daria animated spinoffs. In June 2020, Comedy Central announced it had picked up the spinoff series along with Beavis and Butt-Head. In May 2022, it was announced that Jodie would instead be an animated film.
