    Libra (DC Comics)

    Libra is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. He first appeared in Justice League of America #111 (May-June 1974), where he formed the first incarnation of the Injustice Gang (though there had been other villain groups with similar names, like the Injustice Society and the Injustice League). Libra made his return with a leading role in Final Crisis in 2008.

    Publication history

    Libra's only major appearance, prior to his appearance in Final Crisis, was in Justice League of America #111–112, in 1974. In 2004, he made a brief cameo in the JLA/Avengers crossover (#4) by Kurt Busiek and George Pérez.

    Grant Morrison, the writer of Final Crisis, explained the reason for picking an obscure villain:

    In May 2008, his appearances were reprinted in DC Universe Special: Justice League of America at the same time as he was reintroduced, along with the Human Flame (a Martian Manhunter foe who appeared in Detective Comics #274), in Justice League of America #21. He returns, apparently retaining the full might of his godlike status, to lead a new and final incarnation of the Secret Society of Super-Villains, this time offering to every villain, from simple costumed crooks to major ones, the realization of his/her fondest wish.

    Intro (R&B group)

    Intro is an American R&B trio from Brooklyn, New York City, New York. The trio consisted of members Jeff Sanders, Clinton "Buddy" Wike and lead singer/songwriter Kenny Greene. Intro released two albums (for Atlantic Records): 1993's Intro and their second album, 1995's New Life. The group had a string of US hits in the 1990s. The hits included the singles "Let Me Be The One", the Stevie Wonder cover "Ribbon in the Sky", "Funny How Time Flies" and their highest charting hit, "Come Inside".

    Intro's Kenny Greene died from complications of AIDS in 2001. Intro recently emerged as a quintet consisting of Clinton "Buddy" Wike, Jeff Sanders, Ramon Adams and Eric Pruitt. Adams departed in 2014, with the group back down to its lineup as a trio. They are currently recording a new album to be released in 2015. The group released a new single in 2013 called "I Didn't Sleep With Her" and a new single "Lucky" in October 2014.

    Ich Troje

    Ich Troje ("The Three of Them") is a Polish pop band. Former members are Magdalena Pokora (aka Magda Femme, 1996–2000), Justyna Majkowska (2000–2003), Elli Mücke (2003) and Ania Wisniewska (2003–2010).

    Ich Troje was founded in 1996 by songwriter Michał Wiśniewski and composer Jacek Łągwa.

    Despite this, the group had five members when taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, with German rapper O-Jay (Olaf Jeglitza) as the fifth member.

    Their music is castigated by critics, and Michal Wisniewski has said himself that he can't actually sing.

    Nevertheless, since 2000, Ich Troje has been one of the most successful Polish groups. They have sold more than 1.5 million records since June 2001. For the past two years, Ich Troje have given over 300 concerts. Their songs are typically about love, betrayal and break-ups.

    On 25 January 2003, Polish TV viewers chose Ich Troje to represent them in 2003 Eurovision Song Contest by televoting. They performed a song called Keine Grenzen-Żadnych granic, which was sung in three languages: (Polish, German, and Russian). The song finished seventh. A fully German version of the song was recorded as well.

    Trust in Few

    Trust in Few is the debut and only album of Ocala metalcore band We Are Defiance, released in March 2011.

    Background and recording

    The band announced that Tyler "Telle" Smith of The Word Alive and Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria would be featured on one track each. Smith was featured on the track "Not Another Song About You", though Worsnop was pulled off Trust in Few by his label Sumerian due to the fact the bands' records came out too close together.

    The album was produced by ex-A Day to Remember guitarist Tom Denney, who also engineered, mixed and mastered the album at Diamond Studios in Ocala, Florida.

    Release

    Originally set for release on March 15, the release was delayed after a car accident the band had while touring through the US at the beginning of 2011, when lead vocalist Brian Calzini was brought into the hospital.

    "To the Moon", "I'm Gonna Bury You Underground Eli" and "Weight of the Sea" were all released as singles prior to the album's release, with a music video shot for "It's Not a Problem Unless You Make It One".

    Many have come and gone
    Still left out of the guttural swansong
    Takin' nothin' but the best in the area
    Givin' me grief but fucker I'll stare you down
    2-3 you're out of there
    Maybe it's me but I'm frantic in a panic
    Ain't never had a problem since you stopped comin' here
    Big man walkin' but bitch, I'm still talkin'

    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, boy
    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, boy
    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, boy
    Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
    Ain't gonna leave and you know I'm never gone fade
    Here it comes again, gotta burn again
    Time now, throw down, don't dirty me
    Right on your ugly-ass face 'cause
    I ain't the one who let you in
    And I ain't the one who set you off
    But I know damn well when someone's pushing my buttons
    Let tell you somethin', I'll push you back
    Soon as that camera is off, he's gonna fuck that little dog
    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, boy
    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, boy
    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, boy
    Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, bitch
    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, bitch
    Gimme any reason why I'd need you, bitch
    Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
    You're made of flesh
