Albion (song)

"Albion" is a song by English band Babyshambles. It was released as the third single from Down in Albion on 28 November 2005 in the UK. The single was released in Japan on 8 March 2006 by Reservoir Records/EMI.

"Albion" deals primarily with the concept of Albion, thought of as a mythical England (or Great Britain), the landscape and life of which is referred to throughout the song. This idea was central to The Libertines and still is to Babyshambles. The song was the first acoustic song Babyshambles released. The song had been used in The Libertines live sets, and thus there was some controversy from fans when it was released. It is always one of the highlights of Babyshambles live shows. The "Albion" is also a recurrent theme in Pete Doherty's music and poetry. A lot of songs contain the word "Albion" in their lyrics: in The Libertines' "Love on the Dole", "Bucket Shop" (both from the Legs 11 Session), "The Good Old Days" (from their debut album Up The Bracket), and in Babyshambles' "Merry-Go-Round" (from their debut album Down In Albion). Most of The Libertines fans discovered the song "Albion" in the 2003 Babyshambles Sessions.

Equatorium

An equatorium (plural, equatoria) is an astronomical calculating instrument. It can be used for finding the positions of the Moon, Sun, and planets without calculation, using a geometrical model to represent the position of a given celestial body.

The earliest extant record of a solar equatorium, that is, one to find the position of the sun, is found in Proclus's fifth-century work Hypostasis, where he gives instructions on how to construct one in wood or bronze. Although planetary equatoria were also probably made by the ancient Greeks, the first surviving description of one is from the Libros del saber de astronomia (Books of the knowledge of astronomy), a Castilian compilation of astronomical works collected under the patronage of Alfonso X of Castile in the thirteenth century, which includes translations of two eleventh century Arabic texts on equatoria by Ibn al‐Samḥ and al-Zarqālī.Theorica Planetarum (c. 1261-1264) by Campanus of Novara describes the construction of an equatorium, the earliest known description in Latin Europe.

Shout!!! (シャウト!!!, Shauto!!!) is the 21st single from the Japanese idol group Idoling!!!. It reached number 3 on M-ON! Countdown 100, number 2 on Music Station Single Ranking, and number 6 on Oricon Weekly Chart. Idoling!!! was divided into two groups. The main body of the group stayed with the name Idoling!!!, while the other group was called Idoling NEO. Idoling NEO consists of Idoling!!!'s new members, who just joined in August 2013, with addition of #23 Yuna Ito and #25 Kaoru Goto. Both groups released a single at the same time, with Idoling!!! releasing Shout!!! as their 21st single under the Pony Canyon label and Idoling NEO released mero mero as their first single under the Avex label. Both had to compete on the Oricon weekly chart for which group sold more than the other. The losing side will then receive a severe punishment.

On November 25, 2013, it was announced that Idoling NEO lost in the competition. Idoling NEO has to receive the punishment, which is having to wear skinny tights.

Shout (Ant & Dec song)

"Shout" is the thirteenth single by Ant & Dec, formerly known as PJ & Duncan and the third to be taken from their final album, The Cult of Ant & Dec (1997). The single was released in March 1997, and reached number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. The song is in a pop rock style.

The song features backing vocals from Erasure's Andy Bell, and its chorus, "Shout.. come on, let it out" takes influence from the Tears for Fears' song "Shout" where the chorus begins with "Shout, shout, let it all out".

The music video sees Ant & Dec in a flat or hotel room singing the song. Dec plays the acoustic guitar in the video.
