Ready, Set, Go! (software)

Ready,Set,Go! is a software package for desktop publishing. Originally developed for Apple Computer's Macintosh by Manhattan Graphics, it became one of the earliest desktop-publishing packages available for that platform. It was often compared with QuarkXpress and Aldus PageMaker in comparative magazine reviews.
It was later acquired by Diwan and is still available today, for both Macintosh and Microsoft Windows platforms.

The current (April 2010) version is 7.7.8b.

Ready Set Go! (album)

Ready Set Go! was the intended debut studio album by American hip-hop recording artist Roscoe Dash, released on November 2, 2010 in the United States on MMI, Zone 4, Music Line Group and Interscope Records. The album was recorded in various locations during 2009 and 2010, with production primarily provided by K.E. on the Track and guest performances recorded by Soulja Boy, J. Holiday and Jared Evan. A hip hop album with influences of pop and contemporary R&B, Ready Set Go features hook-driven content sung by Dash's high-pitched, nasal voice.

The album's release was preceded by the release of the singles "All the Way Turnt Up" and "Show Out", the latter peaking at number 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album was leaked to retailer Walmart before Dash had finished recording it, leading to the album being initially pulled from all other retailers, although some have since retrospectively made it available. Its premature release has since led Dash to disown the album, as he does not regard it as his definitive debut.

Echosmith

Echosmith is an American indie pop band formed in February 2009 in Chino, California. The band is composed of four siblings: Graham, Sydney, Noah, and Jamie Sierota. Echosmith started first as "Ready Set Go!" band until they signed to Warner Bros. Records in May 2012. They are best known for their hit song "Cool Kids", which reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA with over 1,200,000 sales in the United States and double platinum also by ARIA in Australia. The song was Warner Bros. Records fifth-biggest-selling-digital song of 2014, with 1.3 million downloads sold. The band's debut album, Talking Dreams, was released on October 8, 2013.

Early life

The group grew up in a musical household playing multiple instruments throughout their childhood. The band says that a range of rock artists, including Coldplay, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Smiths, The Killers, U2, Joy Division, and Fleetwood Mac influenced them while growing up and encouraged them to make music together. Echosmith’s youngest sibling, Graham, plays drums. The only female member of the group, Sydney, is the lead vocalist for the band, often contributing on tambourine and keyboard. Noah plays bass and sings back-up vocals for the band. The oldest sibling, Jamie, sings and plays guitar.

Übers Ende der Welt

"Übers Ende der Welt" (English: Over the End of the World) and "Ready, Set, Go!" are rock songs by German alternative rock band Tokio Hotel. The German version of the song, "Übers Ende der Welt", was released as the first single from their second album Zimmer 483 and it is the album's opening track.

The song was later translated into English and re-recorded for Tokio Hotel's first English-language album Scream under the title "Ready, Set, Go!". The English version was released as the second single from the album Scream in mainland Europe and was released as the band's debut single in the United Kingdom. This song was also released as the debut single in Canada via MuchMusic. The music video was nominated for the "Best Pop Video" award as well as winning the "Best New Artist" award at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

Tokio Hotel collaborated with Jade Puget of AFI to create a remix of "Ready, Set, Go!". It was included as a bonus track on their album Scream.

Music video

The music video for the German version, "Übers Ende der Welt", features the four band-members as workers walking through a bleak futuristic city along with a group of catatonic co-workers. All wear the same grey overalls while carrying large pipes. When the workers pass a corridor, they notice Tokio Hotel playing the song on a stage at the end of the corridor. The workers, including the band members in their worker-characters, run towards the performance and subsequently escape from the city by climbing up the walls of the sky-scrapers around the stage. Scenes of the catatonic workers in a dining hall, silently watching a test screen (which eventually explodes) are also included in the video. The video concludes with a shot of the band members (in their worker-characters) standing on top of one of the city's sky-scrapers, blinded by the sunlight. The music video is mostly inspired on Apple's 1984 Macintosh advertisement.
