I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
a young French all-woman rock'n'roll band that formed a few years ago. They consist of:
Katty Beanard - vocals + guitar
Marine Neuilly - guitar
Louise Basillein - bass
Anais Vandevywere - drums.
Their sound is based on post-punk and New Wave styles, pretty similar to another great all-woman band from the 80's, the Go-Gos. The singing is done in both English and their native French. Their first album was LP1, which featured the hits "Loser", "Pop In, Pop Out" and the Joan Jett -inspired "Shake". Late last year they released "about love" - it's one of the best albums put out last year. Check them out, they're one terrific export from France.

1. The Plastiscines got their name from "plastiscine", a word found in the lyrics of the psychedelic Beatles hit "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". That word itself refers to a glue or cement which is sold in the U.K. and Europe.
2. The Plastiscines are the vanguard of what may well be a revival of rock'n'roll music. For over a decade there has been chumpy boy bands, gangsta (c)rap, American Idol puke pop, phony country, phony punk, phony r & b, stupid airheads who have zero talent who shake their butts (with dancers behind them), lip-syncing to a disc while people gawk in an empty-headed way, and other bullshit. Now here is an all-female rock group that writes and sings their songs and actually plays their own instruments. Yes they are young, cute and French (ooh la la) but they make and perform SONGS. Music is their #1 priority. How about them apples?
3. There's other fresh new bands too - the Danish boy/girl (ala Eurythmics) duo the Ravionettes, Datarock from Norway, the French band Phoenix and the new guitar goddess from Down Under - Orianthi Panagaris - all who are worth hearing. After so many years of musical hell and the "Worst Decade Ever" (the 00's), rock'n'roll and its culture may finally be coming back to life again. I hope so.

Get the Plastiscines mug.A mighty big hit for the Beatles, it went to #1 on both sides of the Atlantic. It spent a record number of weeks on top of America's Billboard, a record that was equaled by "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. A classic.
1. When I was in military recruit training ("boot camp") I was assigned to Junior Officer Of the Deck (JOOD) watchstanding security duty. I wore a yellow armband on my left shirt sleeve that said "JOOD". Every hour I'd tour the building to ensure that all was "secure". I entered my company's barrack room and one of my fellow company mates was standing next to a bunk singing "Hey JOOD. Don't be afraid. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember...". When I got to a compartment on the third floor a recruit shouted, "Hey look, fellas! It's the JOOD!" The whole company broke into singing "Hey Jude" (Hey JOOD, get it?). When I was back on the Quarterdeck on the first floor, you could hear the singing continuing on: ... bettah, bettah, bettah, bettah, bettah, bettah, yeaaaaah! Da da da da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, hey, Jude!...". Recruit training isn't much fun for anyone, but this was pretty amusing.
2. I saw Sir Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live on TV perform "Hey Jude". People in the audience screamed their heads off. One time when Paul was singing the vocals for this song in the studio (or maybe during a Beatles TV performance) he screamed so intensely he passed out. He didn't konk out when performing on SNL that night.

Get the Hey Jude mug.1. a southern slang phrase that means "flying off the handle", losing ones cool and losing ones self-control. Some people also think it could mean to get laid.
2. a big 1991 hit song from the Georgia rock band R.E.M..

1. George: Jeremy has been acting funny since he polished off a bottle of Wild Turkey.
Billy: Yep, he's lost some of his religion.
2. The title "Losing My Religion" caused some confusion at first here in the MidWest.

Get the losing my religion mug.a person who will do ANYTHING for personal pleasure or gain. This person uses people with sob stories and fibs and worms and weedles the way to his/her goal BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY (no diss to Malcolm Shabazz). Such people are also called brownnosers, bootlickers and asskissers.
Every day at the start of the shift Greg went to Mr. Goremann's office for a special "pumping up" chat session. The rest of us working "trash" would watch this drama enact itself day after day. We'd say, "Looka this. Greg is such a cocksucker!". One day Greg got promoted to head chief of the plant crew. 6 months later he hung himself in a storeroom with a note saying that he lost his soul and couldn't handle the new responsibilities.

Get the cocksucker mug.1. a popular truck, used for fire truck and other purposes. Made by the R.E. Olds automobile company. Popular in the 1940s and 1950s.
2. a popular American hard rock band that had several hits in the 1980s like "Don't Let Him Go", "Can't Fight This Feeling", "Keep On Loving You", "In My Dreams" and more.

1. In the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada I saw an REO Speedwagon. Also, my mom remembers the REO Speedwagon truck.
2. Hit REO Speedwagon albums include "High Infidelity" and "Wheels are Turning".

Get the REO Speedwagon mug.basically, a transvestite. From the song "Lola" by the Kinks. That song is now a favorite sing-a-long for blitzed college students in campus-area bars. Just like "Mommy Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys", "Anarchy in the U.K.", "Yellow Submarine", "Brown Sugar", and "American Pie" (tho God knows why).
Me: I was in San Francisco last weekend and on a corner I saw a white yup kissing on a black chick, only to discover that she was a black man with a beard, pantyhose and a purse!
Michael and Phil (singing): Du du-du du-du du-du-du du do-du-du du du du du-du... (chorus of "Take a Walk on the Wild Side").
L-O-L-A Lola....

Get the Lola mug.the unpunished act of doing anything to attain a position of power, even if it includes collaborating with a foreign or outside power or even traitors from the "inside" to do it. People who do these acts often act very arrogant and dictatorial but they usually kowtow and kiss the asses of the people who helped them get them where they are. They only think of themselves and the public they are supposed to serve is totally ignored, deceived and treated like trash.
1. In the late 1930s Chancellor Alfred Dollfuss of Austria established a Nazi dictatorship there. Because of this and other traitors within, Austria and Germany entered into Anschluss ("union") in 1938 and Austria lost its name, independence, and economic and social identity and more. That's a treason-ish against the Austrian people - a rottenness in the apple.
2. Donald Trump childishly whined that he would NOT accept an election defeat in 2016. His business and other connections to the bully regime of Russia's Vladimir Putin are very well known and quite obvious. Russia hacked some of America's computer networks during the summer and early autumn but the cyber attack that struck the USA on Election Night was the worst ever done on cyber networks in perhaps all history. The next morning many homepages were desecrated with big pictures of Trump the Chump's ugly stupid smug mug, the Russian government expressed their delight and on January 21, 2017 this treason-ish, treasonous asshole took an oath that he'll never honor and then defiled a cathedral with his immoral bitch-ass to pose . FUCK 'EM!
