Brand X

Brand X was a jazz fusion band active between 1975–1980 and 1992–1999. Noted members included John Goodsall (guitar),Percy Jones (bass), Robin Lumley (keyboards), and Phil Collins (drums). Goodsall and Jones were the sole constant members throughout the band's existence.

History

1975–1980

Brand X started in 1975 as a "jam" band signed by Island Records' Richard Williams. Williams A&R man Danny Wilding wrote down the name "Brand X" to keep track of their activity on the studio calendar and the name stuck. The initial lineup consisted of Goodsall, Jones and Lumley, along with guitarist Pete Bonas and drummer John Dylan. Shortly after the band's formation, Dylan was replaced by Phil Spinelli, who left Brand X shortly thereafter along with Bonas. During this time the band made several unreleased studio recordings at Island Records' Basing Street studio.

Genesis drummer Phil Collins replaced Spinelli and in early 1976 Unorthodox Behaviour was released to coincide with an extensive UK tour. Collins had previously taken over lead vocals from Peter Gabriel in Genesis starting with the 1976 album A Trick of the Tail. Due to Genesis schedules conflicting with those of Brand X, Collins would depart the band on several occasions, before departing permanently in 1979.

Brand X (The X-Files)

"Brand X" is the eighteenth episode of the seventh season of the science fiction television series The X-Files. It premiered on the Fox network in the United States on April 16, 2000. It was written by Steven Maeda and Greg Walker and directed by Kim Manners. The episode is a "Monster-of-the-Week" story, unconnected to the series' wider mythology. "Brand X" earned a Nielsen household rating of 6.8, being watched by 10.81 million people in its initial broadcast. The episode received mixed reviews from critics.

The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. Mulder is a believer in the paranormal, while the skeptical Scully has been assigned to debunk his work. In this episode, Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is horrified when the witness who was due to testify against the Morley cigarette company dies mysteriously. After being called into assist, Mulder and Scully soon discover that a new brand of cigarette has a dangerous secret.

    Don't you make any trouble
    Don't you break any bubble
    If you wanna be safe don't make waves
    Hear what I say, don't make waves
    Don't make waves
    These foreign armies march across your land
    Witness the downfall of all your plans
    Their lethal rays bring towers down to dust
    Their life-detector pick up waves from us
    Keep your mind off the airways
    Don't transmit any relays
    If you wanna be safe don't make waves
    What I say, don't make waves
    Don't you make any trouble
    You just wait in your bubble
    If you wanna be safe don't make waves
    Oh no no, don't make waves
    Don't make waves
    Used to dream I was in Thailand
    I found no comfort in a spoon
    And the band was always high, man
    Till we ran right out of tune
    Don't you make any trouble
    Don't you break any bubble
    If you wanna be safe don't make waves
    Oh no no, don't make waves
    Don't you cause any hassle
    Don't you play like an asshole
    If you wanna get paid don't make waves
    What I say, don't make waves
    Don't make waves
