Grimms

GRIMMS was an English pop rock, skit and poetry group, originally formed as a merger of The Scaffold, the Bonzo Dog Band, and the Liverpool Scene for two concerts in 1971 at the suggestion of John Gorman. The band name was an acronym formed by the initial letters of each member's surname:

History

Neil Innes said about the formation of the group, "I don't know what attracted the Scaffold to the Bonzos; we were incredibly anarchic, which was probably something shared by the Scaffold as well. Hence Grimms, this leap in the dark." At the second performance, Keith Moon played drums. However, when the band was properly organized in 1972, it quickly added other personnel, including:

.gov

The domain name gov is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. The name is derived from government, indicating its restricted use by government entities in the United States. The gov domain is administered by the General Services Administration (GSA), an independent agency of the United States federal government.

The U.S. is the only country that has a government-specific top-level domain in addition to its country-code top-level domain. This is a result of the origins of the Internet as a U.S. federal government-sponsored research network. Other countries typically delegate a second-level domain for this purpose, for example: .gc.ca is the second-level domain for the Government of Canada and all subdomains.

Some U.S. federal agencies use fed.us, instead of gov. The Department of Defense and its subsidiary organizations use the mil sTLD. Some U.S. governmental entities use other domains, such as com domains by the United States Postal Service, which uses both usps.gov and usps.com for the same website, although it only advertises the com address, and the United States Army's recruitment website (goarmy.com). The US military repeats this pattern for recruitment websites of other branches.

Government

A government is the system by which a state or community is controlled. In the Commonwealth of Nations, the word government is also used more narrowly to refer to the collective group of people that exercises executive authority in a state. This usage is analogous to what is called an "administration" in American English. Furthermore, especially in American English, the concepts of the state and the government may be used synonymously to refer to the person or group of people exercising authority over a politically organized territory. Finally, government is also sometimes used in English as a synonym for governance.

In the case of its broad associative definition, government normally consists of legislators, administrators, and arbitrators. Government is the means by which state policy is enforced, as well as the mechanism for determining the policy of the state. A form of government, or form of state governance, refers to the set of political systems and institutions that make up the organisation of a specific government.

Goa ⁱ/ˈɡoʊ.ə/ (English) is currently the Republic of India's smallest state by area post the 1974/75 UN treaty and presently has the fourth smallest population.

Fig is a Filipino rock-alternative group.

Early life

It was an exam week of the second semester of the school year 2003 when four students of the same management block decided to form a band. With a fusion of diverse personalities, Fig was born.

The name of the band derives from the synthesis of their sections when they were in high school. It was then started out as Fignewton, & later on turn to Fig for a catchier & shorter name. Fig is composed of Cong, vocals, songwriter, Jay Angeles on lead guitars, Beng Castro on bass, and France Concio, the drummer.

Coming out from various influences, they describe their music as all at once raw, all at once angsty, all at once sentimental. Their melody is all drawn from personal experiences complemented by their icon, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Incubus, Beatles.

Fig has just released their album entitled "Siklo". The album title refers to an acknowledgement of life's cycles. The themes reflect the questions, struggles, acceptance and experiences of diverse successions and the emotions that come along with it. Songs like Linya and Maaari which basically reflect longing that comes out from separation. Hey Michelle and P.I.N. deal with fears and hopes that they encounter during significant transitions. They also experience despair and angst with songs like Interchange and Chubibo which reveal traces of acceptance. There is also hope and a strong sense of need that can be seen in songs such as Pag Asa and Walang Sinasanto.
