History [link]

Dave Williams era (1996–2002) [link]

Drowning Pool rose to fame while playing along with Ozzy Osbourne during an Ozzfest tour. Their 2001 debut album Sinner was certified platinum within six weeks. On August 14, 2002, the band's lead singer Dave Williams was found dead inside his tour bus. He died from an undiagnosed heart condition.[1]

A spokesperson for the Northern District of the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said he suffered from a form of heart disease.[2] Many of their songs are featured in the Dragon Ball Z soundtracks. When asked if the band had any unreleased songs, according to a 2002 Blabbermouth article, drummer Mike Luce replied that "only 3–4 songs were done, including one called "Heroes," which is a tribute to dead rock musicians such as Layne Staley. I don't know if we will ever release them."[citation needed]

Jason Jones era (2003–2005) [link]

After Williams' death, the band tried to carry on and begin searching for a new singer.[3] Many were considered, such as Ben Schigel of Switched, Vince Mullins of Haji's Kitchen, Robb Flynn of Machine Head and many others. But in 2003, the band decided on Jason 'Gong' Jones to replace Williams[4] and released the album Desensitized in 2004. During this era, Drowning Pool also experienced a considerable shift in visual style: rather than the dark, grimacing, anti-social demeanor seen with Williams as the frontman, they shifted toward rock star vanity and sex appeal. Despite the success of the album's lead single, "Step Up," the album was not nearly as successful as Sinner. Jones' departure from Drowning Pool was publicly announced on June 14, 2004, due to irreconcilable differences.[5]

Ryan McCombs era (2006–2011) [link]

Drowning Pool announced that the new singer would be formally announced at Ozzfest in Dallas, Texas, where Drowning Pool did a one-off performance on the main stage.

On July 20, 2005, the website SMNNews received word from close sources that McCombs was indeed the new singer. According to their manager, McCombs was "really good" and someone the band had wanted when they first set out to replace original vocalist Dave Williams nearly two years prior.[6]

In spring of 2006, Drowning Pool announced that they had parted ways with Wind-up Records.[7] In October 2006, the new song "No More" was announced to be released on the Saw III soundtrack, their first track (besides the second version of "Rise Up") with McCombs on vocals.

On February 26, 2007, the band announced it signed a new deal with Eleven Seven Music.[8] It was also confirmed that Drowning Pool would have a new management company, Tenth Street Entertainment.

The band's third album, Full Circle, was released on August 7, 2007 and met with moderate success. While some easy to please fans might have pointed out that they favored McCombs' vocals over previous vocalist Jason Jones, most people thought McCombs' voice didn't suit the band. Two songs on the album were produced by Funny Farm Records, owned by Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and former Beautiful Creatures guitarist DJ Ashba. The remaining tracks have been recorded with producer Ben Schigel at the Ohio-based Spider Studios.

In January 2008, the band members announced that they would be touring North America as special guests of Saliva.[9] On July 26, 2008, in Dubuque, Iowa, Drowning Pool played at the Dubuque County Fair alongside the bands Sick Puppies and Seether.

In September 2008, McCombs said in a statement that Drowning Pool will be recording its next album after it finishes touring with Saliva.[10] According to an article from the El Paso Times, Drowning Pool has written material for its new album, and the band will be in the recording studio following the holidays.

On December 9, 2008, bassist Stevie Benton was quoted by the Associated Press as considering it an honor that the U.S. military was using Drowning Pool's music to bother captured prisoners. [11] On December 13, 2008, Stevie Benton issued an apology on Drowning Pool's MySpace page about his comment on musical torture, stating his comment had been "taken out of context".[12]

On March 3, 2009, the band released its live album, Loudest Common Denominator, which featured two bonus tracks of acoustic versions of "Shame" and "37 Stitches".[13]

According to a blog posted by the band members on the website SMNNEWS, they have hinted at having six songs already completed, and they just need to finish the other half of the album. McCombs dropped teasers of possible titles to two of the songs, "L.O.M.L" and "Regret".[14] Guitarist C.J. Pierce also said he is bringing back some effects used on debut album Sinner, but not on the previous two albums.[14]

Drowning Pool finished recording their latest album with Kato Khandwala producing at House of Loud in New Jersey, which will be the first album in the band's history featuring the same vocalist twice since Dave Williams, who recorded two pre-Sinner albums as well as Sinner itself.

The first single off the band's upcoming self-titled album, titled "Feel Like I Do", is available as a free download on their official website, and the album was released on April 27, 2010.[15]

Search for fourth singer and VooDoo Corps [link]

On November 29, 2011 it was announced that Ryan McCombs had left the band to rejoin SOiL on their European tour to promote the 10th anniversary of their Scars album and maybe even to record a new record. Drowning Pool is currently writing new material for a fifth studio album and holding auditions to find their fourth vocalist.[16]

On November 7, 2011, it was announced that C.J. Pierce and Mike Luce have diverted their attention towards a new project with ex–Nonpoint members Zach Broderick and Ken McMillan titled Voodoo Corps.[17]

The band are currently working on a new album, although a new singer has not been announced.

Rise Up (Freaky Fortune song)

"Rise Up" is a song by Greek duo Freaky Fortune featuring rapper RiskyKidd. It was chosen to represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Denmark.

Critical reception

The song received mixed to positive reviews. Daily Mirror entertainment writer Carl Greenwood gave the song 1 star out of 5 and said, "Rise Up is the sort of song that gets stuck in your head." Jess Denham of The Independent, "Rise Up" has a definite holiday vibe to it, just in time for the start of summer."

Eurovision Song Contest

On 11 March 2014 Freaky Fortune and RiskyKidd participates to the Greek national final of Eurovision Song Contest 2014. After performing the song under number two at the national final, it gets the 36.83% of votes and becomes the Greek entry in the 2014 Eurovision.

At the Eurovision Song Contest they performed 13th in the second semi-final on 8 May 2014. The song qualified from the second semi-final and competed in the final on 10 May 2014. In the final at the end of the voting, it had received 35 votes, placing on 20th place in a field of 26 songs. It was, along with 1998, the worst placing ever for Greece.

Rise Up (Cypress Hill album)

Rise Up is the eighth studio album by Cypress Hill, which was released on April 20, 2010. It is their first album of new material in six years, following 2004's Till Death Do Us Part, and their first to be released on EMI's Priority Records, their first venture away from Columbia, who handled all of their previous releases.

Background

The span of six years between Till Death Do Us Part and Rise Up marks Cypress Hill's longest gap between studio albums in their career. The group commenced work on the record in 2005, but had not entered studio work until 2008. The writing and recording process spanned four years and a number of recording studios and was finished in 2009.

Rise Up was delayed several times before its release. Originally scheduled to be released in 2006, it was later postponed to March 23, 2010 (exactly six years since the release of their last album), then again to April 6. The album's release date was finally set for April 20, 2010.

In terms of the album's musical direction, in March 2010 Cypress Hill emcee B-Real told noted UK urban writer Pete Lewis - Deputy Editor of the award-winning Blues & Soul - "Musically we wanted a bigger sound, a more AGGRESSIVE sound, and something obviously with a lotta DYNAMICS. You know, our sound has always been raw and gritty, ominous and moody... And, while this time we still wanted it to be raw and dark, we also wanted it to be more UPTEMPO. Because, in terms of the live setting, whenever we do songs that are more uptempo and aggressive people do love them and it makes for a great SHOW. So, while making this album, we definitely had the intention of making songs that would translate well to the live aspect of what Cypress Hill is about. So that, when we play these songs out, we're gonna get a magnificent reaction from the crowd!"

Jakarta!

Jakarta! is the first novel by writer Christophe Dorigné-Thomson published by the Indonesian media conglomerate Kompas Gramedia Group in 2012.

Jakarta! was widely promoted in the media and endorsed by major Indonesian figures such as businessman and owner of football club Inter Milan Erick Thohir, businessman Sandiaga Uno, politician Irman Gusman, Minister of Education Anies Baswedan or actor Rio Dewanto.

The novel tells the story of a young European who travels the world on missions paid by governments or multinationals to kill high-level targets. The book is in fact a disguised essay on geopolitical shifts and their consequences.

  • Jakarta (mango)

    The 'Jakarta' mango is a named mango cultivar that originated in south Florida.

    History

    The original tree was grown on the property of Laurence Zill in Boynton Beach, FL, and was reportedly a seedling of the 'Paheri' mango. A 2005 pedigree analysis indicated that 'Jakarta' was likely the result of a cross between the 'Zill' and 'Kent' varieties.

    'Jakarta' did not gain widespread acceptance as a commercial mango, however it did find a market as a nursery stock and dooryard tree in Florida.

    'Jakarta' trees are part of the collections of the USDA's National Germplasm Repository in Miami, FL, and the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead, FL.

    Description

    The fruit has a round to oblong shape, and develops a distinctive sunset orange-red color at maturity, averaging a little over a pound in weight. The flesh is yellow and fiberless, with a uniquely resinous but rich flavor and aroma, and contains a monoembryonic seed. The fruit mature from June to August in Florida.

    'Jakarta' trees are vigorous growers and form dense, rounded canopies.

    Jakarta (DJ)

    Jakarta is a French EDM, and Electro house production team, consisting of Danny Wild, Alan Pride, David Kane, and Dave King. Their work is available on Hypetraxx Records, and has been remixed by Mondotek. Their music is in the tribal house style, but with a childlike voice. Their most relevant tracks are "Superstar" and "One Desire", which did well on the French charts in 2008.

    Their first single, "One Desire", was distributed by Airplay Records for France, Universal (Belgium, Spain), Dancestreet (Germany), Sony BMG (Mexico), TMC Nordic (Scandinavia), Magic Records (Poland), and Teta (Israel). "One Desire" stayed at number 2 on the charts for four months in 2008.

    The group created two 3D animated video clips with characters that are mostly babies. Their main character is Totosse, a dancing baby with a red Mohawk haircut.

    Rise Up

    by: Cross Movement

    HOOK:
    We're goin' live this life
    We're goin' live it right
    Not just talk it but walk it cause we're goin' live for Christ
    We're goin' hold it down, stone cold, hold our ground
    All my soldiers RISE UP, SPARK THE HOLY CULTURE
    BLAAW!
    Repeat HOOK
    VERSE(1):
    You know the squad is a collection artist
    Blessin' our God regardless of the fact we're engulfed in this godless
    world that's spiritually broke like when folks are jobless
    no spiritual ear like when corn is cob-less
    No spiritual sight, no optics
    No wonder spiritual life is hard to grasp like rice with chopsticks
    We need our heart fixed, pull out the heart-kit
    If change is gonna come then God has to spark it
    We don't need another material object
    We need to be re-plugged back into God, He's the socket
    We'll meditate on His law but won't exhaust it
    God'll take our heart and carve it like Boston Market
    HOOK
    VERSE(2):
    Sin kills like arsenic, God is pure,
    but some can't stomach His cure like when you're car-sick
    Dead right, you need a headlight- you're headed for darkness
    Get Christ---you get life---you're dead as a carcass
    We're tellin' men that your sins are red as a carpet
    He won't just forgive you He'll turn your debt into profit
    You need to sweat Him, and let Him get in the cockpit
    Halt the "co-pilot" talk you need to stop it
    Man, you ain't in a Benz you're in a rocket
    Life's too heavy for you, you men will drop it
    We saw fit to take His path and walk it
    Was on a high horse but got kicked right off it
    Fought with Christ but we were forced the forfeit
    Had a towel but we were forced to toss it
    Had ego but thank God we lost it
    Sin's signal was strong but thank God He crossed it
    HOOK (x2)
    VERSE(3):
    Oh, what a sight now, we're living right now
    Use the skills until we put the mic down
    Check it, yo, cause the flow is like a nightgown
    Rep Christ for life so you know we've got the right sound
    And though the world is godless we thank God that God has called us
    from being ballers, and players, and pimps and alcoholics
    Times are hard but even still we must run our hardest
    “Run like Forest," with a limp, but we run regardless!
    For His glory we wanna be the flyest artist
    But because of what our vocals be socially we may die as martyrs
    Might have to take flight and say our "Sayonara's”
    But that's alright we're meeting Christ in the sky tomorrow
    So no more weed in us, or Hennessey in us
    We've been freed indeed, we've got His seed in us
    so while you're teasing us, He's gonna present us
    faultless and blameless because He died for these sinners
