Fried is a British sitcom that airs on BBC Three. The show stars Katy Wix, Mandeep Dhillon, Matthew Cottle, William Melling, Imran Yusuf and Lorna Gayle. It began airing on 25 August 2015 and the first series ran for six episodes. A show pilot was aired on BBC iPlayer in 2014.
Fried is focused on staff who work at a chicken shop in Croydon, Seriously Fried Chicken. Mary Fawn (Katy Wix) is the manager much to the annoyance of her co-worker Derek Wom (Matthew Cottle). Other cast members include Amara (Mandeep Dhillon) who is only working there to earn money for her father, Joe (William Melling), who desperately wants the love of Amara, Ed (Imran Yusuf) and Shontal (Lorna Gayle).
Fried is the second solo album by Julian Cope.
Fried was released on 9 November 1984, just six months after Cope's debut solo album World Shut Your Mouth. Cope retained guitarist Steve Lovell (and guest oboe player Kate St. John) from the previous album, but added his Drayton Bassett musical foil Donald Ross Skinner on rhythm and slide guitars, former Waterboys drummer Chris Whitten and (on one track) former Mighty Wah! guitarist Steve "Brother Johnno" Johnson.
The album was much more raw in approach than its predecessor World Shut Your Mouth: in many respects it prefigured the looser and more mystical style which Cope would follow and be praised for in the next decade. Notoriously, the sleeve featured a naked Cope crouched on top of the Alvecote Mound slag heap clad only in a large turtle shell. Song topics and approaches included early examples of Cope's subsequent tendency to mythologise his own life and connect it to legend and ritual ("Reynard the Fox" combined English folktales with reference to Cope's notorious onstage stomach-slashing incident of the previous year; while "Bill Drummond Said" was an oblique fable about Cope's former manager and future KLF mainstay) and his developing interest in paganism ("O King of Chaos", which Cope later revealed was an invocation to Odin). Several songs featured little or no backing, with Cope accompanying himself.
Fried are a musical duo made up of US soul singer Jonte Short, and ex-The Beat and Fine Young Cannibals guitarist David Steele.
David Steele looked for a singer for his new project away from The Beat and Fine Young Cannibals for five years. He finally met Jonte Short in 2001 at the New Orleans Jazz Festival and they decided to collaborate. Steele and Short worked together on songs that Steele had already written, and they also wrote new ones together. The duo decided to name themselves Fried, after Southern U.S. cooking, and started recording in New Orleans and London.
Fried, after working on their album for five years, signed to London Records the home of Steele's previous group Fine Young Cannibals to release their debut self-titled album, which spawned the singles "Whatever I Choose I Lose" and "When I Get Out Of Jail". However, the band's career with the label was short-lived and were subsequently dropped from the label due to poor sales.
In 2007, however, the band were re-signed, this time to RCA and Fried decided to re-work their debut album and three new songs were added, while removing two. "I'll Be There" was released as the album's lead single, while they re-titled the album Things Change. The album was released on 16 July 2007.
Getaway or Get Away may refer to:
Getaway! is a crime-themed scrolling maze game for the Atari 8-bit family designed by Mark Reid and published by the Atari Program Exchange (APX) in 1982. The game won the 1983 $25,000 Atari Star Award for best APX submission, an award previously won by My First Alphabet and Typo Attack. Prior to Getaway!, Reid developed a skiing game, Downhill, also published by APX.
According to Reid, Atari was impressed with Getaway! and had "big plans" for the game, but the North American video game crash of 1983 occurred before this could happen.
A non-digital illustration of Getaway! was featured on the cover of the Fall 1983 APX catalog.
Getaway! takes place on scrolling map of a town, 35 screens in size. You leave your hideout and drive around the maze using up gasoline in the process. Pausing at a gas station refills the tank.
Also in the maze are dollar signs (which give a little money when collected), armored vans (which give a lot of money and immediately alert the police to your presence), and three loot items. To complete a level you must collect all three loot items, then the armored van, and then return to your hideout.
Getaway is an album by New Zealand group The Clean, released in 2001. The songs "Alpine Madness" and "Circle Canyon" feature contributions from Yo La Tengo members Georgia Hubley and Ira Kaplan.

I hate to love you, what more can I say?
Got played from the get go
Like this shit you had me sold on
This time, I let myself control on and wore it out
You front like you're ghetto
But I know that you're not best be backing that bling up
I ain't got game, girl, I got season
It's high time you put your please on and wore it
On and on and on, my head spins around
When you diss my bro's and my ride breaks down
While you hang with your ho's at the club down town
Ghetto life, ghettoverit now, ghettoverit now
You want the thug life
You don't even know that's so '97
I guess, I really wasn't on point
You just played me like a dope joint and burned me out
That fool got the gold tooth and imitation rims
Who pimped out his Prelude
It's high time you dropped the zero
And started flossing with the hero
We can't go on like this for real though this homies
On and on and on, my head spins around
When you diss my bro's and my ride breaks down
While you hang with your ho's at the club down town
Ghetto life, ghettoverit it now, ghettoverit it now
Ghettoverit it now, ghettoverit it now
And all you do, it's just plain wack
So sizzuck, a dizzack and blow
On and on and on, my head spins around
When you diss my bro's and my ride breaks down
While you hang with your ho's at the club downtown
Ghetto life, ghettoverit
On and on and on, my head spins around
When you diss my bro's and my ride breaks down
While you hang with your ho's at the club downtown
This ghetto life, ghettoverit it now, ghettoverit it now
Just ghettoverit it now, ghettoverit it now
