The Parlotones

The Parlotones are a rock band from Johannesburg, South Africa. They have achieved multiplatinum-selling status in their home country. The band started in 1998. The band is known for the face make-up worn by lead singer Kahn Morbee.

History

Formation and early years (1998-2002)

Lead singer Kahn Morbee and drummer Neil Pauw met in 1998. The two had attended the same high school and got together after Pauw heard the songs Morbee had written. Brothers Glenn Hodgson and Paul Hodgson, bassist and guitarists met Morbee in university after they were dismissed from a library for playing guitar inside it. The band first performed as a punk-influenced band in 1998 known as 'Crayon'. The band name later changed to 'The Parlotones' - a variation on the name of Parlophone Records, a record label to which two of the bands' favourite artists Radiohead and The Beatles had been signed. Lead singer Kahn Morbee cites The Smiths, The Cure, R.E.M. and Radiohead as musical influences.

  • Æsir

    In Old Norse, ǫ́ss (or áss, ás, plural æsir; feminine ásynja, plural ásynjur) is the term denoting a member of the principal pantheon in the indigenous Germanic religion known as Norse religion. This pantheon includes Odin, Frigg, Thor, Baldr and Týr. The second pantheon comprises the Vanir. In Norse mythology, the two pantheons wage the Æsir-Vanir War, which results in a unified pantheon.

    The cognate term in Old English is ōs (plural ēse) denoting a deity in Anglo-Saxon paganism. The Old High German is ans, plural ensî. The Gothic language had ans- (based only on Jordanes who glossed anses with uncertain meaning, possibly 'demi-god' and presumably a Latinized form of actual plural *anseis). The reconstructed Proto-Germanic form is *ansuz (plural *ansiwiz). The a-rune was named after the æsir.

    Unlike the Old English word god (and Old Norse goð), the term ōs (áss) was never adopted into Christian use.

    Etymology

    Æsir is the plural of áss, óss "god" (gen. āsir) which is attested in other Germanic languages, e.g., Old English ōs (gen. pl. ēsa) and Gothic (as reported by Jordanes) anses "half-gods". These all stem from Proto-Germanic *ansis ~ ansuz, which itself comes from Proto-Indo-European *h₂énsus (gen. h₂n̥sóus) "life force" (cf. Avestan aŋhū "lord; lifetime", ahura "godhood", Sanskrit ásu "life force",ásura "god" (< *h₂n̥suró)). It is widely accepted that this word is further related to *h₂ens- "to engender" (cf. Hittite hass- "to procreate, give birth", Tocharian B ās- "to produce").

    ÖS

    Ös may refer to:

  • Ös language, a Turkic language of Russia
  • öS, the currency sign of the Austrian schilling

  • Ansuz (rune)

    Ansuz is the conventional name given to the a-rune of the Elder Futhark, . The name is based on Common Germanic *ansuz "a god, one of the main deities in Germanic paganism".

    The shape of the rune is likely from Neo-Etruscan a (), like Latin A ultimately from Phoenician aleph.

    Name

    In the Norwegian rune poem, óss is given a meaning of "estuary" while in the Anglo-Saxon one, ōs takes the Latin meaning of "mouth". The Younger Futhark rune is transliterated as ą to distinguish it from the new ár rune (ᛅ), which continues the jēran rune after loss of prevocalic *j- in Proto-Norse *jár (Old Saxon jār).

    Since the name of a is attested in the Gothic alphabet as ahsa or aza, the common Germanic name of the rune may thus either have been *ansuz "god", or *ahsam "ear (of wheat)".

    Development in Anglo-Saxon runes

    The Anglo-Saxon futhorc split the Elder Futhark a rune into three independent runes due to the development of the vowel system in Anglo-Frisian. These three runes are ōs (transliterated o), æsc "ash" (transliterated æ) and ac "oak" (transliterated a).
