Pseudonym
A pseudonym (; ) or alias () is a fictitious name that a person assumes for a particular purpose, which differs from their original or true meaning ( orthonym). This also differs from a new name that entirely or legally replaces an individual's own. Many pseudonym holders use them because they wish to remain anonymous and maintain privacy, though this may be difficult to achieve as a result of legal issues. Scope Pseudonyms include stage names, user names, ring names, pen names, aliases, superhero or villain identities and code names, gamertags, and regnal names of emperors, popes, and other monarchs. In some cases, it may also include nicknames. Historically, they have sometimes taken the form of anagrams, Graecisms, and Latinisations.

Skånska
Scanian ( ) is an East Scandinavian dialect spoken in the province of Scania in southern Sweden. Broadly speaking, Scanian has been classified in three different ways: # Older Scanian formed part of the old Scandinavian dialect continuum, and is by most historical linguists considered to be an East Danish dialect group. # Due to the modern-era influence from Standard Swedish in the region, and because traditional dialectology in the Scandinavian countries normally has not considered isoglosses that cut across state borders, the Scanian dialects have normally been treated as part of the South Swedish dialects by Swedish dialectologists. # Many of the early Scandinavian linguists, including Adolf Noreen and G. Sjöstedt, classified it as "South Scandinavian", and some linguists, such as Elias Wessén, also considered Old Scanian a separate language, classified apart from both Old Danish and Old Swedish.

Wire are a British rock band, formed in London in October 1976 by Colin Newman (vocals, guitar), Graham Lewis (bass, vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar), George Gill (lead guitar) and Robert Grey (musician), Robert Grey (aka Robert Gotobed; drums). They were originally associated with the punk rock scene, appearing on ''The Roxy London WC2'' album, and were instrumental to the development of post-punk, while their debut album, ''Pink Flag'', was influential for hardcore punk. Wire are considered a definitive and highly influential art punk and post-punk band, due to their richly detailed and atmospheric sound and obscure lyrical themes. They steadily developed from an early noise rock style to a more complex, structured sound involving increased use of guitar effects and synthesizers (1978's ''Chairs Missing'' and 1979's ''154 (album), 154''). The band gained a reputation for experimenting with song arrangements throughout their career. History 1976 to 1980 Wire began as a five-p ...

Graham Lewis
Graham Lewis (born Edward Graham Lewis, 22 February 1953) is an English musician. He is best known as a bassist, songwriter, and vocalist with punk rock/post-punk band Wire, of which he has been a core member since founding in 1976. Biography On Wire's first studio album Graham Lewis was credited as ''Lewis''; he continued to be known by this abbreviation; however some subsequent record credits give his full name. Graham studied textiles at Middlesex Polytechnic in London in the early seventies. He later switched to fashion but formed the band before he was able to have a substantial career in this world. The time at art school was very influential on his later music as he was able to go and see a range of bands (usually pub bands) including Kilburn and the High Roads, Ramones, Dr. Feelgood etc. He worked on other music projects, such as Dome (with fellow Wire member B.C. Gilbert), Duet Emmo (a portmanteau of "Dome" combined with Daniel Miller, founder of "Mute" records) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sci-Fi SKANE
Sci-Fi SKANE is a musical collaboration of Swedish musicians Thomas Öberg and Jonas Jonasson, members of Swedish rock groups bob hund and Bergman Rock. Sci-Fi SKANE was started in 2005, and the goal was stated as being to "create stupidity and dance". The word SKANE in the name is regarded as an ironic anglification of Skåne, the area the band originates from. Sci-fi SKANE's musical style is of the same nature as bob hund's and Bergman Rock's style, but without live drums, and dominated by keyboards and programmed sounds. However, the somewhat ironic tone known from bob hund and Bergman Rock is present both in the music and in the lyrics. So far Sci-Fi SKANE has released two singles: a cover of Canned Heat's "Going Up The Country" called "Jag har aldrig bott vid en landsväg" and another song called "Vi kommer försent till bluesen". The duo's debut album ''Känslan av att jorden krymper växer'' ("the feeling that the Earth shrinks grows") was to be released in Sweden by ...
