Plan 714 Till Komeda
''Plan 714 till Komeda'' is an EP by Swedish band Komeda. It was originally released in 1995 in Sweden on the North of No South label. As was their debut album two years prior, the songs are sung in the band's native language. This was the first release following the departure of guitarist Henrik Andersson and the arrival of his replacement Mattias Norlander. The band were keen to see what they could do following Andersson's departure and, impatient to keep moving, they decided to release these four tracks as an EP and not wait for a full album's worth of material. Its title is a reference to the Hergé comic-strip album ''Vol 714 pour Sydney'' (Flight 714 to Sydney), the Swedish title of which is ''Plan 714 till Sydney''. In 2001 this EP was combined with the ''Pop På Svenska'' album and issued by Minty Fresh Minty Fresh is a Chicago-based record label, founded in 1993 by Jim Powers with Anthony Musiala.

Pop Music
Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. The terms ''popular music'' and ''pop music'' are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many disparate styles. During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music encompassed rock and roll and the youth-oriented styles it influenced. ''Rock'' and ''pop'' music remained roughly synonymous until the late 1960s, after which ''pop'' became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible. Although much of the music that appears on record charts is considered to be pop music, the genre is distinguished from chart music. Identifying factors usually include repeated choruses and hooks, short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), and rhythms or tempos that can be easily danced to. Much pop music also borrows elements from other styles ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

North Of No South
North is one of the four compass points or cardinal directions. It is the opposite of south and is perpendicular to east and west. ''North'' is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. Etymology The word ''north'' is related to the Old High German ''nord'', both descending from the Proto-Indo-European unit *''ner-'', meaning "left; below" as north is to left when facing the rising sun. Similarly, the other cardinal directions are also related to the sun's position. The Latin word ''borealis'' comes from the Greek '' boreas'' "north wind, north", which, according to Ovid, was personified as the wind-god Boreas, the father of Calais and Zetes. ''Septentrionalis'' is from ''septentriones'', "the seven plow oxen", a name of ''Ursa Major''. The Greek ἀρκτικός (''arktikós'') is named for the same constellation, and is the source of the English word ''Arctic''. Other languages have other derivations.

Pop På Svenska
''Pop På Svenska'' is the debut album by Swedish band Komeda. It was originally released in 1993 in Sweden on the North of No South label. Lars Henrik Andersson (Ray Wonder, Hank, LHA) was a band member in this release. Most of the songs are sung in the band's native language, although the pop/rock sound they are known for is firmly in place. The songs were originally written in English but later changed to Swedish following an idea from drummer Jonas Holmberg to sing in their own language. The centre of the CD has the words "The parking of trolls must cease to exist", a nonsense statement that came to Jonas Holmberg in a dream. The band had originally hoped to inscribe this in the centre of the vinyl release, but the album was never released on vinyl.

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
