Wendy Mesley
Wendy is a given name now generally given to girls in English-speaking countries. In Britain, Wendy appeared as a masculine name in a parish record in 1615. It was also used as a surname in Britain from at least the 17th century. Its popularity in Britain as a feminine name is owed to the character Wendy Darling from the 1904 play ''Peter Pan'' and its 1911 novelisation ''Peter and Wendy'' by J. M. Barrie. Its popularity reached a peak in the 1960s, and subsequently declined. The name was inspired by young Margaret Henley, daughter of Barrie's poet friend W. E. Henley. With the common childhood difficulty pronouncing ''R''s, Margaret reportedly used to call him "my fwiendy-wendy". In Germany after 1986, the name Wendy became popular because it is the name of a magazine (targeted specifically at young girls) about horses and horse riding.

Year 196 ( CXCVI) was a leap year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Dexter and Messalla (or, less frequently, year 949 ''Ab urbe condita'').

All Roads Lead To Ausfahrt
''All Roads Lead to Ausfahrt'' is the tenth and final studio album by Vancouver punk rock band Nomeansno.

The album marked a return to shorter and more conventional songs than their previous efforts, ''Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie'' (1998) and ''One (Nomeansno album), One'' (2000). Background and recording Nomeansno split with their longtime label Alternative Tentacles in 2002, two years after the release of their ninth album, ''One (Nomeansno album), One''.

Generic Shame
''Generic Shame'' is an EP from Vancouver punk rock band Nomeansno. Released in 2001 on Wrong Records, the three-song EP was recorded during the same sessions which produced the album ''One''. Background and release In 1999, Nomeansno members and brothers Rob and John Wright rehearsed a batch of long and ponderous songs originally intended for their side project Mr. Right and Mr. Wrong. The Wrights ultimately decided, however, to release the material as the ninth Nomeansno album. The band recorded the album at Lemon Loaf Studios in Vancouver with Marc L'Esperance, and eight songs from the session became the ''One'' album on Alternative Tentacles. Three remaining tracks were issued the following year as ''Generic Shame'' on the band's own Wrong Records. Rob Wright later explained that the songs did not fit the intended mood of ''One''.

One (Nomeansno Album)
''One'' is the ninth full-length album by Vancouver punk rock band Nomeansno. Released in 2000, it was their penultimate album and last of eight albums issued through the Alternative Tentacles imprint. Its long, ponderous songs generally pleased critics and longtime fans, with All Music critic Tom Schulte assessing the album's "intense and heavy collegiate punk" as one of the band's finest efforts since their seminal 1989 album ''Wrong''. It features a cover of the Ramones song "Beat on the Brat" and a reworking of the title track of Miles Davis's ''Bitches Brew'' album. Because of the ambiguity of the album cover layout, the album has been understood at times by the press to be called ''No One.'' Background and recording Nomeansno, formed in 1979, celebrated their twentieth anniversary while touring in support of their 1998 album ''Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie''. After the tour, they began to assemble material for a new record. The resulting batch of long and ponderous s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dance Of The Headless Bourgeoisie
''Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie'' is the eighth full-length album released by Canadian punk rock band Nomeansno. It was initially released on Alternative Tentacles in 1998 as a 10-track CD and 12-track double LP. The band's own label Wrong Records, along with distributors Southern Records, re-released the 12-track version of the album in 2007, 2010, and 2014 with modified track order and art. Although Nomeansno's music was "always as indebted to avant-garde as to hardcore," ''Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie'' is one of their most varied and experimental records. Critics generally received it well, although some were frustrated by the band's experimentation, and drummer John Wright later called the album "very obscure" and "not our greatest album." Background and recording In 1993, Nomeansno became a four-piece, with guitarist Tom Holliston and second drummer Ken Kempster joining founding brothers John and Rob Wright. The band released ''The Worldhood of the World (As S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
