Male Bass Guitarists
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an example o ...

Deconstructed (Bush Album)
''Deconstructed'' is a remix album by British band Bush, released on 11 November 1997, through Trauma Records. It did not feature any new material but was a collaborative effort between the band and various producers working in the electronic genre of music to remix some of the band's previously released songs. " Mouth (The Stingray Mix)" was released as a single in 1997 and became a minor hit, due largely in part to it being featured prominently in both the trailer and the 1997 film ''An American Werewolf in Paris''. Three tracks from this album, "Mouth (The Stingray Mix)", " Everything Zen (The Lhasa Fever Mix)", and " Swallowed (The Goldie/Both Sides Toasted Please Mix)" also appear on Bush's 2005 greatest hits compilation, ''The Best of '94–'99''.

Little Magnets Versus The Bubble Of Babble
''Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble'' is the third and final album by UK pop rock band Transvision Vamp. The album was released in 1991, two years after their UK No. 1 album ''Velveteen''. This album did not get a UK release at the time due to disputes with their label. ''Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble'' took on a more mellow sound, which was the reason that their record company at one stage refused to release it – it was eventually released in the US but not in the UK at the time. It was, however, released in Australia, where the band had enjoyed considerable success. The album peaked at No. 25 on the Australian Albums Chart. It was released in New Zealand where it reached No.14, and also released in Sweden, reaching No.27. ''Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble'' produced a few singles, but before a UK release could be re-considered, Transvision Vamp broke up. This was the only Transvision Vamp album to feature co-writing credits for Wendy James. ...
