Cursive's Domestica
''Domestica'' (also styled as ''Cursive's Domestica'') is the third studio album by the American indie rock band Cursive, released on June 20, 2000. This album was the 31st release by Saddle Creek Records, released on CD as well as both red and black vinyl. About ''Domestica'' is a concept album that tells the story of a relationship between two characters named "Sweetie" and "Pretty Baby." Both characters are mentioned by name in several of the songs on the album ("The Casualty," "The Martyr," "A Red So Deep," and "The Radiator Hums") as well as the title of "The Lament of Pretty Baby." It is presumed that the album correlates directly with lead singer and principal songwriter Tim Kasher's divorce, but additional dynamics were added to the story. One is the theme of infidelity, prevalent in the songs "A Red So Deep" and "The Game of Who Needs Who the Worst," a dynamic Kasher says was not present in his marriage. While the ending track is ambiguous, lead singer Tim Kasher said in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Saddle Creek Records Albums
The saddle is a supportive structure for a rider of an animal, fastened to an animal's back by a girth. The most common type is equestrian. However, specialized saddles have been created for oxen, camels and other animals. It is not known precisely when riders first began to use some sort of padding or protection, but a blanket attached by some form of surcingle or girth was probably the first "saddle", followed later by more elaborate padded designs. The solid saddle tree was a later invention, and though early stirrup designs predated the invention of the solid tree, the paired stirrup, which attached to the tree, was the last element of the saddle to reach the basic form that is still used today. Today, modern saddles come in a wide variety of styles, each designed for a specific equestrianism discipline, and require careful fit to both the rider and the horse. Proper saddle care can extend the useful life of a saddle, often for decades. The saddle was a crucial step in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cursive (band) Albums
Cursive (also known as script, among other names) is any style of penmanship in which characters are written joined in a flowing manner, generally for the purpose of making writing faster, in contrast to block letters. It varies in functionality and modern-day usage across languages and regions; being used both publicly in artistic and formal documents as well as in private communication. Formal cursive is generally joined, but casual cursive is a combination of joins and pen lifts. The writing style can be further divided as "looped", " italic" or "connected". The cursive method is used with many alphabets due to infrequent pen lifting and beliefs that it increases writing speed. Despite this belief, more elaborate or ornamental styles of writing can be slower to reproduce. In some alphabets, many or all letters in a word are connected, sometimes making a word one single complex stroke. A study of gradeschool children in 2013 discovered that the speed of their cursive writing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
