"Pjanoo" (pronounced 'pee-ann-oh') is a keyboard-based house track by the Swedish DJ and producer Eric Prydz and Australian producer Daniel R Muller. It has received moderate airplay amongst British radio stations, being heavily used by BBC Radio 1 in advertisements for their "Radio 1 Big Weekend" and "Weekend in Ibiza" events. The song was very successful in the United Kingdom, peaking on the UK Singles Chart at #2, and the UK Dance Chart at #1 for ten non-consecutive weeks.

Background and release [link]

The song has been on promotional release since 17 March 2008^[1] with Eric Prydz's own label, Pryda, with a limited amount of 12" pressings available on special order. The song was released on August 25, 2008 by Ministry of Sound's Imprint Label, Data Records.

Prydz stated in an interview with BBC Radio 1 that he wrote the track in 1996. When played at a show in Stockholm, the track didn't gain any interest from the clubbers. Prydz forgot about the track until he found it in his collection at a recent show and decided to play it. A fan in the crowd filmed him playing it live and posted it on YouTube. This gained much popularity on the video site and Prydz decided to release it as a single.^[2]The Welsh Drum and Bass producer High Contrast has made a successful drum and bass remix of "Pjanoo" and was released by Data Records on the 26th August 2008 with a track length of 7:43.^[3] The piano riff was inspired by the piano in Patrice Rushen's song "I Was Tired of Being Alone".

"Pjanoo" features in the trailer of the Grand Theft Auto IV expansion pack, The Ballad of Gay Tony, and also features in the game itself via the in-game radio.

Sweetness of wine

The subjective sweetness of a wine is determined by the interaction of several factors, including the amount of sugar in the wine, but also the relative levels of alcohol, acids, and tannins. Briefly: sugars and alcohol enhance a wine's sweetness; acids (sourness) and bitter tannins counteract it. These principles are outlined in the classic 1987 work by Émile Peynaud, The Taste of Wine.

History

Vintage: the Story of Wine, by Hugh Johnson, presents several methods that have been used throughout history to sweeten wine. The most common way was to harvest the grapes as late as possible. This method was advocated by Virgil and Martial in Roman times. In contrast, the ancient Greeks would harvest the grapes early, to preserve some of their acidity, and then leave them in the sun for a few days to allow them to shrivel and concentrate the sugar. In Crete, a similar effect was achieved by twisting the stalks of the grape to deprive them of sap and letting them dry on the vine—a method that produced passum and the modern Italian equivalent, passito.

Seco (food)

Seco is a popular stewed meat plate served in Peru and Ecuador. One popular variation is seco de Cordero (stewed Lamb).
