Eater were an early British punk band from London who took their name from a Marc Bolan lyric. In 2001, the band’s second single, "Thinking of the USA" (originally released in June 1977), was included in a leading British music magazine’s list of the best punk-rock singles of all-time.[1] In 1999, the track also re-appeared on the five CD box set ‘1-2-3-4: A History of Punk & New Wave’ (MCA Records / Universal Music Group).

The band was formed in 1976 by four high school friends; Anglo-Egyptian singer and guitarist Andy Blade (real name: Ashruf Radwan),[2] Brian Chevette (real name: Brian Haddock) (guitar), Roger “Dee Generate” Bullen (drums) and Ian Woodcock (bass). The band's name came from the song ‘Suneye’, taken from the 1970 album T. Rex:
“Tree wizard puretongue, The digger of holes, The swan king, The Elf lord, The eater of souls.
Lithon the black, The rider of stars, Tyrannosaurus Rex, The eater of cars”.
Later they recorded a cover version of T-Rex's "Jeepster."
Despite originating in north London, the band made its first public performance in Manchester, featuring The Buzzcocks as their support act. Eater’s live set at this gig, back in November 1976, was built mainly around speeded-up versions of Velvet Underground and David Bowie songs such as "Queen Bitch" and "Sweet Jane".
Closer to home, the band became one of the pioneering punk bands that played live in the first few months of the now-legendary Roxy Club. They topped the bill twice in January 1977, the second time they were supported by The Damned. They headlined again in February, this time supported by Johnny Moped, and twice more in March, supported first by The Lurkers and then by Sham 69.[3] They also supplied two of their tracks, ‘15’ (a version of "I'm Eighteen" by Alice Cooper) and ‘Don’t Need It’, to the seminal live various artists album Live at the Roxy WC2. Extracts from their performances at The Roxy were also included in Don Letts' Punk Rock Movie (1978).
The band signed to small London independent label called ‘The Label’,
Eater released five singles and The Album LP before splitting up in 1979.
Blade made several attempts to create a solo career during the 1980s but failed to secure a deal. He shared an apartment with Billy Duffy who later joined The Cult.
Blade published a book about his times with Eater and beyond, called The Secret Life of a Teenage Punk Rocker in 2005.
Eater reformed to play the 1996 Holidays in The Sun Festival in Blackpool.
Eater also reformed shortly in 2006, playing a one-off gig at the 100 Club, supported by TV Smith of The Adverts. They also supported the Buzzcocks on their 30th anniversary of their original tour, at the Forum.
In their heyday 1976–1978, the band had been variously appraised:

The band was formed in 1976 by four high school friends: Anglo-Egyptian singer and guitarist Andy Blade (real name: Ashruf Radwan). guitarist Brian Chevette (real name: Brian Haddock), drummer Dee Generate (real name: Roger Bullen) and bassist Ian Woodcock.
The band's name came from a line in the 1970 T. Rex song "Suneye"; Eater later recorded a cover version of T-Rex's "Jeepster."
Eater were known for being one of the youngest bands, if not the youngest band, in the punk scene. They were 14-17 years old when they formed the band.
Despite originating in north London, the band made its first public performance in Manchester, featuring Buzzcocks as their support act. Eater’s live set at this November 1976 was built mainly around speeded-up versions of Velvet Underground and David Bowie songs such as "Queen Bitch" and "Sweet Jane".
"Outside" is a single by the alternative metal band Staind. It is the second single released off their 2001 album Break the Cycle.
"Outside" was originally performed live during the 1999 Family Values Tour in Biloxi, Mississippi, with Aaron Lewis (vocals/guitar) on the stage by himself and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst providing backing vocals. Lewis was asked to perform a song solo and he decided at the last moment to play a song he had been working on since the early days of Staind. He finished the lyrics to "Outside" on the spot while singing the song live.
"It's really an accidental phenomenon," Lewis explains. "I've been playing it for quite some time. In the early days of the band, any money we made went back into the band, so two or three times a week I played acoustically to make money to live off. 'Outside' was one of the songs I played, but it wasn't really finished, so I made up different words every time. We almost put it on Dysfunction. Then, one night on the Family Values Tour, ten minutes before going onstage, we decided to do it. There was never any thought of releasing it this way."
In jazz improvisation, outside playing, describes an approach where one plays over a scale, mode or chord that is harmonically distant from the given chord. There are several common techniques to playing outside, that include side-stepping or side-slipping, superimposition of Coltrane changes, and polytonality.
The term side-slipping or side-stepping has been used to describe several similar yet distinct methods of playing outside. In one version, one plays only the five "'wrong'" non-scale notes for the given chord and none of the seven scale or three to four chord tones, given that there are twelve notes in the equal tempered scale and heptatonic scales are generally used. Another technique described as sideslipping is the addition of distant ii-V relationships, such as a half-step above the original ii-V. This increases chromatic tension as it first moves away and then towards the tonic. Lastly, side-slipping can be described as playing in a scale a half-step above or below a given chord, before resolving, creating tension and release.
Outside (sometimes referred to as 1.Outside) is a concept album first released 26 September 1995 by David Bowie on Virgin Records, and Bowie's nineteenth studio album. The album was Bowie's reunion with Brian Eno, whom Bowie had worked with most famously on his Berlin Trilogy in the 1970s. Subtitled "the Ritual Art-Murder of Baby Grace Blue: A non-linear Gothic Drama Hyper-Cycle", Outside centres on the characters of a dystopian world on the eve of the 21st century. The album put Bowie back into the mainstream scene of rock music with its singles "The Hearts Filthy Lesson", "Strangers When We Meet", and "Hallo Spaceboy" (remixed by the Pet Shop Boys).
View may refer to:
In database theory, a view is the result set of a stored query on the data, which the database users can query just as they would in a persistent database collection object. This pre-established query command is kept in the database dictionary. Unlike ordinary base tables in a relational database, a view does not form part of the physical schema: as a result set, it is a virtual table computed or collated dynamically from data in the database when access to that view is requested. Changes applied to the data in a relevant underlying table are reflected in the data shown in subsequent invocations of the view. In some NoSQL databases, views are the only way to query data.
Views can provide advantages over tables:

[Music by Elenium]
Had a weird one last night
Gave me the chance to creep
Everything isn't over for me
I feel the need to continue
Could I be wrong?
So if I'm wrong
Illusion replaced the truth
If I'm misguided
Illusion as the truth
Had a weird one this night
Gave me the chance to creep
[chorus]
Why is it everyone understood
In what way?
They proceed to live again
I died when I peeked
I begun to malfunction
Shut down, reboot, shut down
Now I laugh and grin
I'm the mockery, the joke, the mortal
You see yourself in me
You'll have your weird one too
Prepare for the show
[chorus...]
This much I, I will tell you
You aren't what you appear to be
Life as the camourflage
Death as the last point on your way
I too see them in me
Your white lies and the black ones
They will seem as the point
They are the ultimate failure
This much I will tell you
And the rest is just meaningless
Chatter of infinity
False hope for you and for me
