''The Miller's Daughter'' is a compilation album released by Perth band The Drones. The album compiles outtakes from the band's first two full-length releases (''Here Come the Lies'' and ''Wait Long By the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By'') and their first few non-album singles. Background Of the album, Liddiard said: "This isn't really an outtakes or b-side record...its just that when we recorded 'Here Come The Lies' and 'Wait Long By The River' we did them six months apart and we had a huge pile of songs....those two records were both really long and we had to ditch some of the stuff we were doing to keep them reasonably timed....most of the stuff is recorded straight up live in the studio....so basically if I f--ked up a lyric it didn't go on the record. we didn't have the time or money or patience to correct anything....all I can remember about these sessions is just being tired and drunk and hoarse and broke and way too loud for a recording studio...it s ...

Louis-Ferdinand Céline
Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches (27 May 1894 – 1 July 1961), better known by the pen name Louis-Ferdinand Céline ( , ) was a French novelist, polemicist and physician. His first novel '' Journey to the End of the Night'' (1932) won the '' Prix Renaudot'' but divided critics due to the author's pessimistic depiction of the human condition and his writing style based on working class speech. In subsequent novels such as ''Death on the Installment Plan'' (1936), ''Guignol's Band'' (1944) and '' Castle to Castle'' (1957) Céline further developed an innovative and distinctive literary style. Maurice Nadeau wrote: "What Joyce did for the English language…what the surrealists attempted to do for the French language, Céline achieved effortlessly and on a vast scale." From 1937 Céline wrote a series of antisemitic polemical works in which he advocated a military alliance with Nazi Germany. He continued to publicly espouse antisemitic views during the German occupation of France ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Well Well Well (John Lennon Song)
"Well Well Well" is a song by English musician John Lennon from his 1970 album '' John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band''. The eighth and longest track on the album, "Well Well Well" features an aggressive guitar sound, screaming vocals and a pounding backing track. Lyrics and music The lyrics of "Well Well Well" describe mundane incidents from Lennon's daily life with wife Yoko Ono. Incidents described include eating a meal together, going for a walk, and discussing current events such as "revolution" and "women's liberation." The song also describes the uneasiness the couple feel during these events, but which they cannot understand. Authors Ben Urish and Ken Bielen suggest that this uneasiness is due to guilt the couple feel about being able to talk about issues but having the luxury of deciding whether or not to take action. One line of the song refers to Yoko Ono as "she looked so beautiful I could eat her." Music critic Wilfrid Mellers interprets this line as evidence of a " cannib ...
