Sirens (Sublime with Rome album)

Sirens is the second album by rock group Sublime with Rome, which was released on July 17, 2015. It is the first album to include notable drummer Josh Freese following Bud Gaugh's departure in 2011.

"Wherever You Go" was released as the album's first single, reaching No. 17 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.

Reception

Critical

Sirens has been given a Metacritic score of 48, indicating mixed or average reviews. Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone wrote that the album "stirs up the same hey-whatever mix of reggae, hip-hop and punk that made Sublime shirtless charmers 20 years ago", and David Jeffries of AllMusic judged this album "a step up" from their debut album Yours Truly. Garrett Kamps of Billboard magazine on the other hand thought that while "the tunes are competently rendered, but that actually makes them worse: That these guys are selling out shows as what amounts to a cover band is the kind of thing you need to be super-baked to wrap your head around."

Commercial

Liner notes

"Thee SIRENS do not sing for me. They scream abuse, they signal rape. Their call is not to love, nor embrace, but a call to arms to destroy a race of those who can still think. A loud and burning issue bursts forth from flaming hole. Sighss and suckles, each moment power, and every cell a soul. An end to mark the start of TIME is only close in mind. Touch everything you can with dreams, and end thee SIRENS crime." (Old TOPI poem)

Hood (band)

Hood are an English indie rock band from Leeds, formed in 1991. The band consists of brothers Chris and Richard Adams, and friends (including, at times, Craig Tattersall and Andrew Johnson of The Remote Viewer, and Nicola Hodgkinson of Empress).

History

Hood's first releases were very limited vinyl singles on various small independent record labels.

In 1994, record labels Fluff and Slumberland Records released Hood's first full length album, Cabled Linear Traction. Slumberland also released 1996's Silent '88, and the following year Happy Go Lucky Records released Structured Disasters, a compilation of tracks from singles. All featured a large number of short tracks (many of less than a minute), a mixture of indie rock, noise experiments reminiscent of Sonic Youth or Pavement, and an increasing interest in electronics.

In 1997, Domino Records signed Hood and released the single "Useless". Produced by Matt Elliott (better known as the Third Eye Foundation), it was a far more straightforward and tuneful song than any they had released so far. Elliott toured with the band, and produced the albums Rustic Houses, Forlorn Valleys and The Cycle of Days and Seasons. Like the single, these abandoned the short songs and instrumental snippets for longer pieces, with a pastoral sound similar to Bark Psychosis or Talk Talk. The band continued to release singles for other labels; "The Weight", for 555 Recordings, was a return to the older style with eight tracks on a 7" disc.

Hood (Thunderbirds)

The Hood is the main villain and adversary of International Rescue in the Thunderbirds TV series.

Background

The name "Hood" was derived from the term "hoodlum"; Gerry Anderson also observed that the character was frequently masked, and that a mask "could be described as a 'hood'."Sylvia Anderson acknowledges that the Hood's appearances became less regular towards the end of the series (the character is absent from the six episodes of Series Two), explaining that, like Kyrano, the character "turned out to be less viable on the screen than on the page." To strengthen the character's antagonistic appearance, the Supermarionation puppet was fitted with an over-sized head and hands.

Appearances

TV series

The Hood's precise origins are unknown. While it is known that he is the half-brother of Kyrano, the precise details of their relationship – such as which parent they share or which of them is the elder – remain a mystery, as does the origin of his mysterious hypnotic powers. Even his real name remains a mystery; throughout the TV series, he is only ever referred to as "Agent Seven-Nine" and "671", and each codename is used on one occasion only ("Agent Seven-Nine" when he is working for "General X", a military officer from an unspecified eastern European country, and "671" when he is working for General Bron). The name "The Hood" is only used once used in the TV episodes; at the end of the episode Edge of impact the General can be heard uttering the word Hood through the speaker of the Hood's vehicle underwater (hence why it is never mentioned in Thunderbirds books or on fan websites). Instead, the name was revealed in spin-off media and tie-in promotional materials.
