The Feelers
The Feelers are a New Zealand pop rock band formed in the early 1990s in Christchurch by James Reid (singer/guitarist) and Hamish Gee (drums/guitar). History The Feelers were signed by Warner Music and released their first album, '' Supersystem''. The album went to number 1 in New Zealand in September 1998, and became the second biggest selling album in the country that year. An instrumental version of single "Pressure Man" featured in 1999 American film '' Drop Dead Gorgeous'' during Kirsten Dunst's tap-dancing act. At the 1999 New Zealand Music Awards Supersystem won Album of the Year, Song Writer of the Year ( James Reid), Band of the Year, and Producer of the Year (The Feelers and Malcolm Welsford). The band was also awarded the most played song on New Zealand Radio two years running, with "Supersystem" 1998 and "Venus" the following year. After extensive touring the band started work on their next album, recording demos with Des Broadbery (U2) before starting produc ...

Feeler (Pete Murray Album)
''Feeler'' is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Pete Murray. Released on 21 July 2003, the album peaked at number one on the Australian charts. Background In 2001, Pete Murray released an independent album ''The Game'' which prompted Sony Music Australia to sign him. In early 2003, Pete Murray and his band entered the studio with producer Paul McKercher and his band to make the ''Feeler'' album. On his website, Pete Murray outlines the type of record he was hoping to make. "The records I love by people like Nick Drake, Neil Young, Bob Dylan Bob Dylan (legally Robert Dylan; born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter.

Feeler (Marcella Detroit Album)
''Feeler'' is the third studio album by British-based American musician Marcella Detroit. It was first released in the UK by AAA Records in September 1996, with the lead single " I Hate You Now..." coincidentally released in the same month as " I Can Drive", the lead single from Detroit's former band Shakespears Sister's third album '' #3''. Critical reception Aaron Badgley from Allmusic lauded the album, calling it "honest", and "infinitely better than her debut" (incorrectly referring to ''Jewel''). In contrast, Andy Gill from ''The Independent'' gave the album a negative review, saying "Detroit's problem is one of over-abundant choice – she's a good guitarist, a good pianist, a good vocalist, a good harmonica player, and probably pretty nifty on bass and drums, too, but she needs more discipline as to their application." Track listing Singles " I Hate You Now..." was released as ''Feelers lead single in June 1996, and peaked at #96 on the UK Singles Chart. Thi ...

Feeler (Toadies Album)
''Feeler'' was supposed have been the Toadies's follow-up album to the critically acclaimed debut '' Rubberneck''; however, it was rejected by Interscope Records. In June 2010, the band announced they had re-entered the studio to "rediscover" and re-record the album. This nine-song version was released on August 10, 2010. 1998 recordings In 1997, the band decided to end their '' Rubberneck'' tour and began work on their follow-up album. In the beginning of 1998, the band entered Arlyn Studios and Pedernales Studio with producer Paul Leary. They recorded 15 songs in consideration for the album, initially planning for a fall 1998 release. By August, due to 'scheduling problems', the album, which now had the tentative title ''Feeler'', was still not mixed or mastered, although there was still hope that it would be released in early 1999. During this time, the band considered adding more songs to the album, including "You'll Come Down", "Trust Game", "Cut Me Out" and "Broke Down Stupi ...

Antenna (biology)
An antenna (plural: antennae) is one of a pair of appendages used for Sensory system, sensing in arthropods. Antennae are sometimes referred to as ''feelers''. Antennae are connected to the first one or two Segmentation (biology), segments of the arthropod head. They vary widely in form but are always made of one or more jointed segments. While they are typically sensory organs, the exact nature of what they sense and how they sense it is not the same in all groups. Functions may variously include sensing tactition, touch, air motion, heat, vibration (sound), and especially insect olfaction, smell or gustation, taste. Antennae are sometimes modified for other purposes, such as mating, brooding, swimming, and even anchoring the arthropod to a substrate (biology), substrate. Larval arthropods have antennae that differ from those of the adult. Many crustaceans, for example, have free-swimming larvae that use their antennae for swimming. Antennae can also locate other group members i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Feeler Gauge
A feeler gauge is a tool used to measure gap widths. Feeler gauges are mostly used in engineering to measure the clearance between two parts. Description They consist of a number of small lengths of steel of different thicknesses with measurements marked on each piece. They are flexible enough that, even if they are all on the same hinge, several can be stacked together to gauge intermediate values. It is common to have two sets: one for imperial units (typically measured in Thou (length), thousandths of an inch), and one for Metric system, metric (typically measured in hundredths of a millimetre) measurements (with intervals of thousandths of an inch and hundredths of a millimetre being roughly in the same order of magnitude). The same device with wires of specific diameter instead of flat blades is used to set the gap in spark plugs to the correct size; this is done by increasing or decreasing the gap until the gauge of the correct size just fits inside the gap. The lengths ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
