Son Of A Gun
Son of a gun is an exclamation in American and British English. It can be used encouragingly or to compliment, as in "You son of a gun, you did it!" Definition The ''Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary'' and ''Webster's Dictionary'' both define "son of a gun" in American English as a euphemism for son of a bitch. ''Encarta Dictionary'' defines the term in a different way as someone "affectionately or kindly regarded." The term can also be used as an interjection expressing surprise, mild annoyance or disappointment. Etymology The phrase is found in a piece of comic verse from 1726: A 1787 correspondent to ''The Gentleman's Magazine'' suggested that the phrase originally meant "a soldier's brat". The phrase potentially has its origin in a Royal Navy direction that pregnant women aboard smaller naval vessels give birth in the space between the broadside guns, in order to keep the gangways and crew decks clear. Admiral William Henry Smyth wrote in his 1867 book, ''The Sailor' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sons Of Guns
''Sons of Guns'' is a reality television series that aired on the Discovery Channel between 2011 and 2014. The series centers on Red Jacket Firearms LLC, a Louisiana-based business that manufactures and sells custom firearms to law enforcement, security firms, and private collectors. Will Hayden was the founder and owner of the shop, while his daughter and business partner Stephanie managed the office. As on the Discovery Channel series ''MythBusters'', this show practices a degree of self-censorship and safety-consciousness. Each episode begins with a staff member (usually Will) warning viewers not to try anything demonstrated on the show at home. In addition, during scenes of catastrophic failure, the crew reminds the audience not to try anything at home. The program made a noted point to avoid showing specific detail of how weapon modifications or fabrications are performed. After five seasons, the show was cancelled on August 27, 2014, as a direct result of Hayden's arrest on v ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sonofabitch Stew
Sonofabitch stew (or son-of-a-bitch stew) was a cowboy dish of the American West. Recipes Various recipes exist for this beef stew, and some sources say its ingredients may vary according to whatever is on hand. Most recipes involve meat and offal from a calf, though, making sonofabitch stew something of a luxury item on the trail. Alan Davidson's 1999 book '' Oxford Companion to Food'' specifies meats and organs from a freshly killed unweaned calf, including the brain, heart, liver, sweetbreads, tongue, pieces of tenderloin, and an item called the "marrow gut" and much Louisiana hot sauce. This last item, the "marrow gut", was a key ingredient. Davidson quotes Ramon Adam's 1952 ''Come An' Get It: The Story of the Old Cowboy Cook'', which reports that this is a tube, between two of the calf's stomachs, filled with a substance resembling marrow, deemed edible only while the calf is young and still feeding on milk. This marrow-like substance was included in the stew and, ac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pete Quaife
Peter Alexander Greenlaw Quaife (born Kinnes; 31 December 1943 – 23 June 2010) was an English musician, artist and author. He was a founding member and the original bass guitarist for the Kinks, from 1963 until 1969. He also sang backing vocals on some of their records. Quaife founded a group known as the Ravens in 1963 with brothers Ray and Dave Davies. In late 1963 or early 1964, they changed their name to the Kinks. The group scored several major international hits throughout the 1960s. Their early singles, including "You Really Got Me" and " All Day and All of the Night", have been cited as an early influence on the hard rock and heavy metal genres. In the band's early days, Quaife, who was generally regarded as the best-looking member, was often their spokesman. He departed from the Kinks in 1969 and formed the band Mapleoak, which he left in April 1970. After retiring from the music business, Quaife resided in Denmark throughout the 1970s. He relocated to Belleville, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''The La's'' is the only studio album by English rock band the La's, released on 1 October 1990 by Go! Discs. It included " There She Goes", the group's biggest hit, and "Timeless Melody". A deluxe edition of ''The La's'' was released on 7 April 2008. In 2013, ''NME'' ranked ''The La's'' at number 153 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Release and reception ''The La's'' was released in 1990 on Go! Discs in the United Kingdom and in 1991 on London Records in the United States. The album was praised by critics and embraced by fans. It was the result of nearly three years in the studio with a string of acclaimed producers. Each attempted to capture the sound sought by Lee Mavers, the lead singer and principal songwriter of the band. However, due to Mavers' exacting expectations, the sound eluded each of the producers, and the album eventually released was immediately disowned by the band. Legacy In 2013, ''NME'' ranked ''The La's'' at number 153 on its list of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Xtort
''Xtort'' (stylized as XTOЯT) is the ninth studio album by German industrial band KMFDM, released on June 25, 1996 by Wax Trax! Records. It was recorded from the end of 1995 through early 1996, shortly after the death of Wax Trax! co-founder and band friend Jim Nash. ''Xtort'' features a variety of guest artists from the industrial music scene and studio musicians from other genres, but includes limited participation from core member En Esch. The album was massively promoted by KMFDM's American label TVT Records, which pressed tens of thousands of copies of its lead single "Power". Frontman Sascha Konietzko created his own form of promotion, issuing a press release that both disparaged and lauded the coming set. ''Xtort'' was generally well-received by critics, with many calling it superlative, and is the highest-charting KMFDM album to date. After the original release went out of print, a remastered version was released in 2007. Background In late 1995, KMFDM had completed ...

Mad, Bad, And Dangerous To Know (Dead Or Alive Album)
''Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know'' is the third studio album by British pop band Dead or Alive, released on 21 November 1986 on Epic Records. Continuing their association with the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) production team, Dead or Alive scored several hit singles from this album, including " Brand New Lover", " Something in My House", "Hooked on Love" and "I'll Save You All My Kisses". Production of the album was marked by arguments between the band and SAW, with the latter frustrated by the band's refusal to branch into House music, and singer Pete Burns unwilling to hand over songwriting duties to the producers. Burns expressed frustration with his record company's attitude to his single choices, complaining the label only relented on scheduling "Brand New Lover" for release after Bananarama had a hit with their Dead or Alive-inspired cover of "Venus", and alleging they also refused to give "Something In My House" a Halloween release date. While Burns claimed vicious studi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Molloy Woodcraft of ''The Observer'' gave the album 4 stars out of 5, writing, "A mish-mash of odd found sounds, woozy synths and hip hop beats form a bed for a collective scattershot collage of musings on love, life and mortality". Ed Howard of ''Stylus Magazine'' said, "Having allowed hip-hop to fall pretty much entirely by the wayside, the trio has instead embraced the full strength of their ...
