Cousteau (band)
Cousteau are a London-based band who enjoyed considerable international success, particularly in Italy and the U.S. from 1998 to 2005. The band's sound has been compared to Burt Bacharach, Scott Walker and David Bowie with an updated contemporary edge.
Their best known song remains the single "The Last Good Day of the Year", from their eponymous debut album. It has featured in advertisements (such as those for Nissan in the United States and Borsci in Italy), films (such as Happily Ever After, with Charlotte Gainsbourg, winner of the Special Selection category at the Toronto Film Festival 2005, and South Kensington with Rupert Everett) and documentaries and television programmes around the world. It also enjoyed radio play on both BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2 in the UK, later becoming a staple of the NPR and AAA networks in the US.
History
The first release of the 1999 eponymous album was 'home-made' and included many demos produced for various major labels. 3,000 copies of the album were pressed by indie label Global Warming (later to become Series 8) set up by Trevor Holden. The album sold out after receiving good reviews, including a 5-star review in Uncut magazine, and recommended album in Time Out London. When the band signed to Chris Blackwell's Palm Pictures label a decision was made to re-record the majority of the album (two tracks, including 'Last Good Day of the Year', were not changed). On re-release the album was Album Of The Week in The Guardian in the UK, and went on to sell more than 230,000 copies internationally.
ABQ
ABQ is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's television station in Brisbane, Queensland. It began broadcasting on 2 November 1959 and is based at purpose built headquarters on Brisbane's South Bank. The station is received throughout the state through a number of relay transmitters, and satellite transmission on the Optus Aurora free-to-view platform. ABQ's schedule largely consists of national ABC Television programming with opt outs for news & current affairs, rugby league and state election coverage.
For many years, the station was based at studios in the inner-western suburb of Toowong, with a transmitter at Mount Coot-tha. In late 2006, the Toowong studios were abandoned due to an unacceptably high rate of breast cancer at the facility. An independent study examined 10 cases of breast cancer reported at the studios, and found the incidence rate was 11 times higher than the general working community.
Up until January 2012, staff worked from several sites around Brisbane, with ABC Radio based in nearby Lissner Street, Toowong, ABC News staff working from Network Ten's Mount Coot-tha studios, ABC Innovation and Online staff working at QUT Kelvin Grove, and other staff based in locations including Coronation Drive and West End. On 10 January 2012, ABC Brisbane moved into a new facility in South Bank.
ABQ (Breaking Bad)
"ABQ" is the thirteenth and final episode of the second season of the American television drama series Breaking Bad, and the twentieth overall episode of the series.
Plot summary
The episode opens with a combined replay of the black-and-white scenes that led some of the episodes during Season Two, which show numerous first responder workers collecting and cataloging debris, including a half-burnt pink teddy bear, that had fallen around the Whites' house and its neighbors. In the distance, two columns of smoke can be seen.
Following from "Phoenix", Jesse wakes from his heroin-induced sleep to find Jane dead, having choked on her own vomit, unaware that Walt had been in his apartment and let her die. Jesse contacts Walt for help, who, feigning no knowledge of Jane's death, calls Saul. Saul sends his cleaner Mike (Jonathan Banks) to remove all evidence of drugs from Jesse's apartment and to instruct Jesse, who remains in shock from her death, how to handle any police questioning to avoid any implication he was involved in Jane's death. Donald, Jane's father, arrives at the apartment thinking she is late yet again to a rehab meeting and discovers her death, with Jesse being interviewed by the police. Jesse is unable to look Donald in the eyes, and becomes more depressed. He runs off to a crack house to try to lose himself. Walt, worried for Jesse's well-being, locates him and takes him to a rehab client.
