In 2007, ''NME'' named "Just" 34th on its list of the "Greatest Indie Anthems Ever". In 2008, it was included in '' Radiohead: The Best Of.'' The English producer Mark Ronson released a cover version in February 2008, the fourth single from his album ''Version''. Writing Much of "Just" was written by guitarist Jonny Greenwood, who, according to singer Thom Yorke, "was trying to get as many chords as he could into a song". The angular guitar riff was influenced by John McGeoch's playing on the Magazine song "Shot By Both Sides"; Greenwood said that it was "pretty much the same kind of idea". Music video The "Just" music video was directed by Jamie Thraves, who adapted it from an idea he had for a short film.

It also has sedative (calming) properties, as well as amnestic (inducing forgetfulness), anticonvulsant, and skeletal muscle relaxant effects.

Short Film
A short film is any motion picture that is short enough in running time not to be considered a feature film. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short film as "an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits". In the United States, short films were generally termed short subjects from the 1920s into the 1970s when confined to two 35 mm reels or less, and featurettes for a film of three or four reels. "Short" was an abbreviation for either term. The increasingly rare industry term "short subject" carries more of an assumption that the film is shown as part of a presentation along with a feature film. Short films are often screened at local, national, or international film festivals and made by independent filmmakers with either a low budget or no budget at all. They are usually funded by film grants, nonprofit organizations, sponsor, or personal funds. Short films are generally used for industry experience and ...

"Shot by Both Sides" is a song written by Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley, and performed by the English post-punk band Magazine. It was released in January 1978 as the band's first single, reaching No. 41 on the UK Singles Chart and appearing, a few months later, on their debut album ''Real Life''.

Song The name of the song came from a political argument between Devoto and his girlfriend, in which his girlfriend said to him; "Oh, you'll end up shot by both sides". The song originated in a riff that Pete Shelley came up with when Devoto was helping him ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
