Cows (band)

Cows were a post-hardcore/punk blues band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band formed in 1987 and disbanded in 1998. They were known for a unique mixture of punk rock and blues played with large amounts of noise and surreal humour; their music is often considered noise rock. Their CD releases are often difficult to find, as most of them are out of print, with the exception of Whorn and Orphan's Tragedy. Some of their albums, such as their debut album, Taint Pluribus Taint Unum, were never released in CD format.

They have a star on what is probably the most famous venue in the area, First Avenue. After disbanding, Shannon Selberg went on to front the band Heroine Sheiks.

Origin

The band was formed in 1986 by Kevin Rutmanis on bass, Thor Eisentrager on guitar, then front man Norm Rogers and on drums Kevin's younger brother Sandris Rutmanis. Norm Rogers left the band in January 1987 to dedicate his time to drumming for the Jayhawks, returning in 1990 as the drummer. Shannon Selberg become the front man in February 1987. Sandris left the band in January 1989.

    A list of the Railway Series books by both the Rev. W. Awdry and his son Christopher.

    The Rev. W. Awdry Era: 1945-1972

    The first 26 books in the series were written by Rev. W. Awdry, who is sometimes mistaken as the sole writer.

    The Three Railway Engines

  • Book no. 1
  • Published 1945
  • Illustrated by William Middleton, later by C. Reginald Dalby
  • Edward's Day Out
  • Edward and Gordon
  • The Sad Story of Henry
  • Edward, Gordon and Henry
  • This is the first book in the Series, and introduces Edward, Henry, Gordon and the Fat Director.

  • These stories were first told to the young Christopher Awdry when he was in bed with measles in 1943, but due to wartime conditions were not published until 1945.
  • These stories were not intended to take place in a single volume, or even on the same railway. Edward, Gordon and Henry was written at the insistence of the publishers, Edmund Ward & Co, to bring the 3 characters together and to create a happy ending.
  • The stories were illustrated by William Middleton, and Awdry was unhappy with the toy-like depictions of his characters. When C. Reginald Dalby became the illustrator, he redrew Middleton's illustrations, and it is this version that remains in print.
  • +/- (band)

    +/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.
