Jetset Records, Capitol Records, Ipecac, Arctic Rodeo
In journalism, jet set is a term for an international social group of wealthy people who travel the world to participate in social activities unavailable to ordinary people. The term, which replaced "café society", came from the lifestyle of travelling from one stylish or exotic place to another via jet plane. The term "jet set" is attributed to Igor Cassini, a reporter for the ''New York Journal-American'', who wrote under the pen name "Cholly Knickerbocker". Jet passenger service in the 1950s was marketed primarily to the upper class, but its introduction eventually resulted in a substantial democratization of air travel. Although the term "jet set" can still be found in common parlance, its literal meaning of those who travel by jet is no longer applicable as such. History BOAC inaugurated the world's first commercial scheduled jet service on 2 May 1952, using the de Havilland Comet, followed by the introduction of the Comet 4 in 1958 after a series of accidents in 1953–19 ...

Voice Of Chunk
''Voice of Chunk'' is a 1988 album by jazz band The Lounge Lizards. The album was produced independently by bandleader John Lurie, following two releases with Island Records. After unsuccessfully shopping the album to several record labels, Lurie decided to hire a company to print copies of ''Voice of Chunk'' and sell it himself through mail-order, promoted with advertisements on television. He reports the album sold about 30,000 copies, a substantial sum for an independent jazz album, but promotional and sales costs were higher than anticipated so the album was not financially profitable. ''Voice of Chunk'' was later re-released on frontman John Lurie's record label Strange and Beautiful Music. The song "Uncle Jerry" was a tribute to Lurie's paternal uncle.
