Fake? is a Japanese alternative rock band formed in 2001 by Ken Lloyd and Inoran. Their music has been described as alternative mixed with electronic sounds. Their sound has also been called "Mixture Rock" as well as an "alternative punk rock mix." Lyrics are mainly in English and sometimes in Japanese.
In late 2001 Oblivion Dust vocalist Ken Lloyd joined up with Luna Sea guitarist Inoran and formed Fake?. They didn't go public until early 2002, though, where the two of them held a secret two-day "Show Case" event at Liquidroom Shinjuku. A short time later they released their first single "Taste Maximum." They released another single "Someday" and their first album "Breathe In..." which reached the top 30 in the Oricon charts despite a lack of promotion, major magazine interviews, or photo-sessions. Their respective musical influences can be heard throughout the album: slightly more trip hop songs were composed by Inoran, slightly more Punk rock songs composed by Ken. Then, they took part at the Summer Sonic Festival 2002 in Tokyo, Osaka, and Hong Kong. They also played in gigs at Nagoya Diamond Hall, Osaka Namba Hatch and the Akasaka BLITZ. On November 2, the band started its Live Tour, doing 7 concerts in 5 towns. The final concert of this tour on November 24 at Zepp Tokyo, was later broadcast in Japan by WOWOW.
"Fake" is a song written and recorded by British soft rock group Simply Red. It was released in July 2003 as the second single from the album, Home. It was the next single after their international smash hit "Sunrise". It reached number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play for the week of 14 February 2004.
The music video was filmed at a nightclub in Watford, England and was directed by Andy Morahan. It features Mick Hucknall walking around in the nightclub and talking to people who look like famous artists and celebrities. Among them are doubles of Eminem, Ozzy Osbourne, Naomi Campbell, Kylie Minogue, Diana Ross, Robert De Niro, Madonna, Pamela Anderson, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, Halle Berry, Michael Jackson, Joan Collins, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham. Hucknall also meets his own double. It also features Hucknall in a library when the line "I read a book and it's your face" is said.
Fake is the second and final album by the British alternative rock band Adorable released in 1994.

Jeskola Buzz is a freeware modular software music studio environment designed to run on Microsoft Windows via Microsoft .NET. It is centered on a modular plugin-based machine view and a multiple pattern sequencer tracker.
Buzz consists of a plugin architecture that allows the audio to be routed from one plugin to another in many ways, similar to how cables carry an audio signal between physical pieces of hardware. All aspects of signal synthesis and manipulation are handled entirely by the plugin system. Signal synthesis is performed by "generators" such as synthesizers, noise generator functions, samplers, and trackers. The signal can then be manipulated further by "effects" such as distortions, filters, delays, and mastering plugins. Buzz also provides support through adapters to use VST/VSTi, DirectX/DXi, and DirectX Media Objects as generators and effects.
A few new classes of plugins do not fall under the normal generator and effect types. These include peer machines (signal and event automated controllers), recorders, wavetable editors, scripting engines, etc. Buzz signal output also uses a plugin system; the most practical drivers include ASIO, DirectSound, and MME. Buzz supports MIDI both internally and through several enhancements. Some midi features are limited or hacked together such as MIDI clock sync.
The Buzz was a Canadian comedy television series that aired on The Comedy Network. The show was hosted by Morgan "Mista Mo" Smith and Daryn Jones. The show originally aired in the mid-90s as a community channel show on Rogers Television before getting a network deal in 2000. In 2001, the show won a Gemini Award in the "Best Writing in a Comedy or Variety Program or Series" category. The 2003 season saw them take the show to New York, London, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. The show ended in 2005.
Created in Toronto, the show found a place on the Comedy Network when The Tom Green Show left to MTV. The show uses sketch comedy, non-sequiturs and guerrilla comedy. The two hosts, Daryn Jones, a geeky theatre major, and Mista Mo, an "almost real rapper" often riff on the racial tensions between them.
Desde o começo não sei quem és, no fundo não te conheço
Se calhar sou o culpado, se calhar até mereço
Quis confiar em ti, mas não deixaste, não quiseste
Imagino as coisas que tu nunca me dissestes
Às vezes queria ser mosca e voar por aí, pousar em ti
Ouvir o que nunca ouvi, ver o que nunca vi nem conheci
Saber se pensas em mim quando não tás comigo
Será que és minha amiga como eu sou teu amigo?
Será que falas mal de mim nas minhas costas?
Há coisas em ti que tu não mostras, ou já não gostas
Quantas vezes te pedi para seres sincera, quem me dera
Imagino tanta coisa enquanto estou à tua espera
Apostei tudo que tinha e saí a perder, sem perceber
Surpreendido por quem pensei conhecer
Sem confiança a relação não resiste, o amor não existe
Quando mentiste, não fiquei zangado, mas triste
*Refrão*
A carta que eu nunca te escrevi
(2x)
Não peço nada em troca, apenas quero sinceridade
Por mais crua e difícil que seja, venha a verdade!
Será que me enganas, será que chamas ao outro o que me chamas?
Será que é verdade quando me dizes que me amas?
Será que alguém te toca em segredo?
Será que é medo? Será que para ti não passo que mais algum brinquedo?
Será que exagero? Será que não passa de imaginação?
Será que é o meu nome que tens gravado no teu coração, ou não?
Eu sou a merda que vês, ao menos sabes quem sou
E sabes que tudo que tenho é tudo aquilo que eu te dou
Nunca te prometi mais do que podia
Prefiro encarar a realidade a viver na fantasia
*Refrão*
(2x)
Também te magoei, mas nunca foi essa a intenção
E acredita que ver-te infeliz partiu-me o coração
Mas errar é humano e eu dou o braço a torcer
Reconheço os meus erros, sei que já te fiz sofrer
Por que é que não me olhas nos olhos quando pedes perdão?
Será que é por saberes que neles vês o refexo do teu coração?
E os olhos não mentem enquanto a boca o faz
E se ainda não me conheces, então nunca conhecerás
Serás capaz de fazer o que te peço?
Desculpa-_me ser mal educado, quando estresso
Assim me expresso, sofro e praguejo o excesso
Se conseguíssemos dialogar, já seria um progresso
A chama enfraquece e está a morrer aos poucos
Por que é que é assim, será que estamos a ficar loucos?
Acho que nunca soubeste o quanto gostei de ti
Esta é a carta que eu nunca te escrevi...
*Refrão*
