Idleness
Idleness is a lack of motion or energy. In describing a person, idle means the act of nothing or no work (for example: "John Smith is an idle person"). A person who spends his or her days doing nothing could be said to be "idly passing his or her days" (for example: "Mary has been idle on her instant messenger account for hours."). An idle machine is stopped, exerting no work. A computer processor or communication circuit is described as idle when it is not being used by any program, application or message. Similarly, an engine of an automobile may be described as idle when it is running only to sustain its running (not doing any useful work), this is also called the tickover (see idle). Idleness as dependent upon cultural norms Typically, when one describes a machine as idle, it is an objective statement regarding its current state.

Killin' Time (Gasolin' Album)
''Killin' Time'' was recorded in the spring of 1977 and released in Denmark in the summer of 1978. In Sweden it was released as ''Tivoli''. It was Gasolin's fourth and last album with English lyrics. Actually it was their last studio album release, although ''Gør det Noget'' was the last album they recorded. ''Killin' Time'' was produced by Felix Pappalardi because Gasolin' wanted someone who could produce an "American" sound so they could break the lucrative American market. However, Gasolin' was not satisfied with Pappalardi's mix and the record company would not release it in the USA because they did not believe that ''Killin' Time'' would sell. It was shelved for a year, and then released using another mix by Franz Beckerlee. (The original Pappalardi mix can be heard in ''A Foreign Affair'') ''Killin' Time'' is the only of the four albums with English lyrics that include almost only original material ("Closer", "Magic Garden" and "Sing My Song" are the exceptions).
