Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nature Noir
''Nature Noir'' is the third studio album by Brooklyn-based band Crystal Stilts, which was released on September 16, 2013 in the UK and September 17 in the US. The album is the follow-up to 2011's '' In Love with Oblivion'' and 2008's debut '' Alight of Night''. Reception Though met with slightly less fanfare than their first two records, the album was still received warmly by critics, many of whom praised the refinement of the bands songcraft. Again, Tim Sendra of the AllMusic Guide praised the bands evolution. He noted the "shocking amount of refurb the group did... most everywhere you look there's something happening sonically that's not happened on a Crystal Stilts record before," after earlier declaring that, "Crystal Stilts have staked out a place as perhaps the foremost purveyors of dark psychedelic pop their generation has to offer." Impact called it, "their most complete effort yet; a stunning combination of 60s psychedelia, 80s post-punk and timeless noise-pop," while ...
