The Amazons are a nation of female warriors in Greek myth.

Mary Celeste (often misreported as Marie Celeste) was an American merchant brigantine that was found adrift and deserted in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Azores Islands, on December 4, 1872, by the Canadian brigantine Dei Gratia. She was in a disheveled but seaworthy condition, under partial sail, with no one on board, and her lifeboat missing. The last log entry was dated ten days earlier. She had left New York City for Genoa on November 7, and on discovery was still amply provisioned. Her cargo of denatured alcohol was intact, and the captain's and crew's personal belongings were undisturbed. None of those who had been on board—the captain and his wife, their two-year-old daughter, and the crew of seven—were ever seen or heard from again.
Mary Celeste was built in Spencer's Island, Nova Scotia and launched under British registration as Amazon, in 1861. She transferred to American ownership and registration in 1868, when she acquired her new name, and thereafter sailed uneventfully until her 1872 voyage. At the salvage hearings in Gibraltar following her recovery, the court's officers considered various possibilities of foul play, including mutiny by Mary Celeste's crew, piracy by the Dei Gratia crew or others, and conspiracy to carry out insurance or salvage fraud. No convincing evidence was found to support these theories, but unresolved suspicions led to a relatively low salvage award.
Near the end of the DC vs. Marvel crossover event in 1996, Amalgam Comics released a series of one-shot comic books combining characters from the Marvel Universe with characters from the DC Universe. The first twelve Amalgam titles were released in a single week, temporarily replacing both publishers' regular releases. Half the comics in the event were published by Marvel Comics and half by DC Comics. A year later, the stunt was repeated, but without the crossover as background. Later, both publishers collected their issues into trade paperback collections.
In the 24 Amalgam Comics titles printed, one-third of those printed included letter-columns by fictitious fans to give a larger background to the stories and to help give hints of what might happen in the next issue. The "fans'" hometowns were usually fusions of existing American cities.
Amazon, written and drawn by John Byrne, featured Amazon aka Princess Ororo Munroe of Themiscyra.
The Melvins are an American band that formed in 1983. They usually perform as a trio, but in recent years have performed as a four piece with two drummers. Since 1984, singer and guitarist Buzz Osborne (also known as King Buzzo) and drummer Dale Crover have been the band's ongoing members. The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk. "Melvin" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name.
The Melvins were formed in early 1983 by Buzz Osborne (guitar/vocals), Matt Lukin (bass) and Mike Dillard (drums) who all went to Montesano Jr./Sr. High School in Montesano, Washington. In the beginning they played Cream and Jimi Hendrix covers, and also began playing fast hardcore punk. When Dillard left the band, Dale Crover took his place, and the band's rehearsals moved to a back room of Crover's parents house in Aberdeen, Washington. Soon afterward, they started to play songs slower and "heavier" than nearly anyone else at the time.
Lysol (aka Melvins aka Untitled aka Lice-all) is the fourth album by the Melvins, released in 1992 on Boner Records.
The album cover is a painting based on a sculpture by Cyrus Edwin Dallin named "Appeal to the Great Spirit." The image also appears on The Beach Boys in Concert, on the logo for Brother Records, and on the cover of The Time Is Near by the Keef Hartley Band.
The album was recorded in less than a week, according to the band's official website.
Boner Records was unaware that Lysol was a registered trademark until after the first batch of record jackets and CD booklets/back cards had already been printed. Lysol sent a staff member to go undercover as an interviewer for a magazine to find out information about the record, as they did not want their name on the album. Boner officially retitled the record Melvins and covered the word Lysol with black tape on the front of the jackets and booklets and with black ink on the spines. Early after the initial release, the tape and ink were easily removed, and many fans did so. Later, attempting to remove the tape would result in severe damage. Subsequent printings omitted the word Lysol entirely.
Melvins is an album by Melvins, released in 1986 through C/Z Records. The album has been released as Six Songs (1986, vinyl), Eight Songs (1991, vinyl), 10 Songs (1991, CD) and 26 Songs (2003, CD). The songs are taken from two sessions in 1986.
Tracks 1-10 are taken from the 1991 eight/ten song, LP/CD version rerelease of this album. Tracks 11-16 are taken from the original six song vinyl release. Tracks 17-19 were taken from the 1986 Outtakes From First 7 inch vinyl single. Track 20-24 are garage demos. Track 20 is taken from the Northwest Hardcore compilation tape. Track 22 is taken from the Let's Kiss compilation tape from K Records. "Ever Since My Accident" is available on the Kill Rock Stars compilation (KRS-201) in superior quality. Track "26", "Hugh", is a field recording put as the b-side of the demo cassettes the band would give away to venues and labels to promote the band.
The track listing on the booklet of the CD lists 26 tracks but for unknown reasons the CD only has 25 tracks as "Ever Since My Accident" and "Hugh" are together on track 25 and not individual tracks as credited.
By the time you're natural
By the time you die
I'll take my head and spin it for you
I'll just look around
And I call you liar
And I call you dead
You've come and poisoned all the things
That I once sat upon
Everybody's hungry
Everybody's high
We'll sit around and ask ourselves
If it was all a lie
And I already told you
And I already see
But you have got to know yourself
And so I let it slide
Can we be together
Can you hold my hand
It takes forever
For the sound to get around
And I already love you
And I already want
But will we all
