Modern Madness
''Modern Madness'' is the second studio album from American singer and songwriter Robert Tepper. Background After signing with Scotti Brothers and moving to Los Angeles in 1985, Tepper found himself in the public eye after actor/director Sylvester Stallone used Tepper's song "No Easy Way Out" in the movie ''Rocky IV''. The track climbed to No. 22 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1986, and Tepper's debut album of the same name peaked at No. 144. However, the 1988 follow-up album ''Modern Madness'' was a commercial failure. Both ''No Easy Way Out'' and ''Modern Madness'' received little promotion from the label Scotti Bros. Records. As a result, Tepper separated from the label in protracted legal proceedings and was unable to record any new material although he would continue to write. A third album ''No Rest for the Wounded Heart'' would follow eight years later in 1996. The album was recorded at One on One Studios. It was entirely produced by Joe Chiccarelli and featured 10 original tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Y Kant Tori Read
Y Kant Tori Read was an American synthpop band fronted by singer-songwriter Tori Amos. The band released one album, also called ''Y Kant Tori Read'', which was largely unsuccessful. Atlantic Records abandoned promoting the album completely after two months of release. The band originally consisted of vocalist and keyboardist Amos, guitarist Steve Caton, drummer Matt Sorum (later of Guns N' Roses), and bassist Brad Cobb. They worked with record producer Joe Chiccarelli and Kim Bullard, later of Kajagoogoo. The name comes from an incident in Amos's childhood where she was asked to leave the Peabody Conservatory because she refused to read sheet music. A music video for their song "The Big Picture" was made, but the only member of the band featured was Amos, since by then, unable to withstand pressure from Atlantic Records, she had jettisoned the rest of them with the exception of Steve Caton. Two singles were released. The first, "The Big Picture", was commercially issued exclusi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Myron Grombacher
Myron of Eleutherae ( grc, Μύρων, ''Myrōn'' ), working c. 480–440 BC, was an Athenian sculptor from the mid-5th century BC. He was born in Eleutherae on the borders of Boeotia and Attica. According to Pliny's '' Natural History'', Ageladas of Argos was his teacher. None of his original sculptures are known to survive, but there are many of what are believed to be later copies in marble, mostly Roman. Reputation Myron worked almost exclusively in bronze and his fame rested principally upon his representations of athletes (including his iconic ''Diskobolos''), in which he made a revolution, according to commentators in Antiquity, by introducing greater boldness of pose and a more perfect rhythm, subordinating the parts to the whole. Pliny's remark that Myron's works were ''numerosior'' than those of Polycleitus and "more diligent" seem to suggest that they were considered more harmonious in proportions (''numeri'') and at the same time more convincing in realism: ''dilige ...
