Clou was a Czech rock band from Prague, Czech Republic, formed in 2001. They released their EP "First" in 2004, which includes 3 songs. After many concerts they started to make their debut album "Poscards" in 2005. They've had a great success with the album due to singles like "Island Sun" and "Lean On My Shoulder". The clip "Island Sun" reached the TOP10 on MTV and it was the most played song in The Czech Republic. Bugsy, their former bassguitarist, left the band in July 2006. It was a difficult situation for Clou, so they had to play acoustic concerts. It was close to the breakup of Clou. They decided to play but the didn't have a bass guitarist. Steph (exJaksi Taksi) replaced him and played some summer concerts. They found out that Steph is a good bass guitarist, and they agreed on a mutual cooperation.
Cloué is a commune in the Vienne department in the Poitou-Charentes region in western France.
A postcard or post card is a rectangular piece of thick paper or thin cardboard intended for writing and mailing without an envelope. Shapes other than rectangular may also be used. There are novelty exceptions, such as wood postcards, made of thin wood, and copper postcards sold in the Copper Country of the U.S. state of Michigan, and coconut "postcards" from tropical islands.
In some places, one can send a postcard for a lower fee than for a letter. Stamp collectors distinguish between postcards (which require a stamp) and postal cards (which have the postage pre-printed on them). While a postcard is usually printed by a private company, individual or organization, a postal card is issued by the relevant postal authority.
The world's oldest postcard was sent in 1840 to the writer Theodore Hook from Fulham in London, England. The study and collecting of postcards is termed deltiology.
Cards with messages had been sporadically created and posted by individuals since the beginning of postal services. The earliest known picture postcard was a hand-painted design on card, posted in Fulham in London to the writer Theodore Hook in 1840 bearing a penny black stamp. He probably created and posted the card to himself as a practical joke on the postal service, since the image is a caricature of workers in the post office. In 2002 the postcard sold for a record £31,750.
Postcards is an alternative Lebanese indie folk band. The band was formed in Lebanon in 2012, and takes its name from the band Beirut's album Postcards from Italy. Incidentally, Postcards supported Beirut during their performance at the Byblos International Festival in 2014.
The band was formed in 2012 in Lebanon when Marwan and Pascal (who are cousins) met Julia. They started jamming, playing covers and writing original material, and eventually were joined by Rany. So far the band has released one EP, Lakehouse, which was described by one reviewer as "down-to-earth, gentle, yet packed with energy".
Within a year of forming, they had opened for international acts such as Swedish indie rock band The Royal Concept and American indie folk giants Beirut. Besides touring extensively in Lebanon, they have also performed regularly in the UK, including Wilderness Festival.
The band is managed by Beirut Jam Sessions, pioneers of the alternative music scene in the country.
Postcards is the eighth album from Contemporary Christian music singer Cindy Morgan, her first for Reunion Records and her first with producer Kirkpatrick.

You had my flag with the lone white star
In the back of an old white car
Ninety miles from the Florida shore
You’re the one that I came for
We never talked on the telephone
Just tell me I’m Corazon
Like Marti park on the Calle three
When you whispered that you love me
My thoughts are drifting away
Ten months and just as many days
My thoughts are drifting away
Ten months and just as many days
[Refrén]
Reading cause I’m awake
You are so far away
Everything you had to say
Postcards in bed
We know it’s true and we understand
I have the city and you have the sand
I got your cards when I got back home and a message on
the telephone:
"I loved our summer and I loved your smile, but I’ve
gone to the States for a while...I’m at my friends, got
no time to write...That’s all...I’ve got a date
tonight..."
There’s nothing left to say
Pero yo siempre lo amaré
We land our holiday
Pero yo siempre lo amaré
[Refrén]
Reading cause I’m awake
You are so far away
Everything you had to say
Postcards in bed
Havana on an sunny day
You and I will get away
More than just a holiday
