Ultravox - Every Album Every Song

Brian J. Robb

Sinopse

Ultravox made an indelible mark on the popular music of the 1980s despite never reaching the UK number one at any point: famously, 'Vienna' stalled at number two, while their only other top five single was the zeitgeist-capturing 'Dancing With Tears in My Eyes', reaching number three in May 1984. Between 1981's 'Vienna' and 1984's 'Love's Great Adventure', Ultravox scored 17 UK Top 40 hit singles and seven top ten album releases.Fronted first by John Foxx, then Midge Ure, the band went from being an acclaimed but hitless art rock outfit to a Blitz club-era chart-storming quartet. They also proved to be a formidable live band, mixing in-vogue electronic synthesisers with drums and guitar and Billy Currie's trademark classical violin. The band became one of the most successful acts of the era, capped by their 1985 appearance at the Live Aid concert. They also made their mark with arty, distinctive, and influential music videos.Having split following 1986's controversial U-Vox album, the 1980s Ultravox line-up regrouped in 2009, celebrating the 30th anniversary of 'Vienna' with a series of UK, US, and European tours. That led to a belated new album, 2012's Brilliant. Every album, every song - this is Ultravox.

British 60s Music

Robin Bextor

The 1960s was simply the most exciting decade in music history known to man. The eruption of talent after the discovery of the Mersey Sound, spearheaded of course by the Fab Four, changed the world.
What was special was that for a glorious and colourful short period of time, hardly a week went by without some new creative talent emerging on our airwaves, some new direction in music being created; something fresh to excite us being presented for our edification. Looking back at the charts week by week you realise that there was an explosion in song writing, a huge growth in people being interested in music and, as a result, some really great sounds were made.
In this book we have not tried to quantify that, or even order those bands and artists who helped to change our society and our way of looking at it, but we have created a top 40 of artists that can simply not be ignored for what they did. From artists such as Cliff Richard to The Kinks and Pink Floyd, The Rolling Sones and, of course, The Beatles!

Jackie Brown - The Ultimate...

Film Trivia Metaverse

JACKIE BROWN 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Jackie Brown (1997), directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a crime thriller based on Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch. The film follows Jackie Brown, a flight attendant who smuggles money for a gunrunner, Ordell Robbie. After being caught by law enforcement, she devises a plan to double-cross everyone involved in the deal, including Ordell, the police, and a bail bondsman named Max Cherry. The film explores themes of betrayal, survival, and deception, with a strong focus on complex characters and intricate plotting. Set against the backdrop of 1990s Los Angeles, Jackie Brown blends crime, suspense, and Tarantino's signature sharp dialogue. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Pam Grier had auditioned for a part in Pulp Fiction that eventually went to Rosanna Arquette. Tarantino, however, had not forgotten about her and created the role of Jackie Brown specifically for her.” 
  
“Michael Keaton desperately tried to talk Tarantino out of casting him as Ray Nicolette, claiming he was not right for the role. Tarantino found Keaton’s reluctance endearing and ultimately cast him.” 
  
“Tarantino compared Jackie Brown to the film Rio Bravo, saying it's a "hangout movie" that gets better with each viewing. He noted that the film rewards multiple viewings by allowing audiences to enjoy the hangout scenes rather than focusing on the plot.” 
  
“In the first mall scene, Max Cherry (Robert Forster) is seen exiting a movie theater while the music for the ending credits is playing, which is actually the closing music for the film.”
