Bloodhype (1973) is a science fiction novel written by Alan Dean Foster. The book is eleventh chronologically in the Pip and Flinx series, though it was written second, and it is an oddity for the characters since they only appear in the last third of the book. Foster originally started the novel as a stand-alone work, but was encouraged by his publishers to include the characters from his previous novel.[citation needed]

The novel takes its title from a deadly and addictive drug, for which there is no known antidote, which causes instant addiction followed by a long, slow, painful death unless the user continues to take increasingly greater doses.

Plot [link]

The Vom is an intergalactic intelligence described as a large black blob not unlike a gigantic amoeba, impervious to almost all energy and physical attack. Following years of battle with the Tar-Aiym it has sheltered on a planet where it has gone dormant for 500,000 years, waiting for an opportunity to escape the Tar-Aiym Guardian orbiting in space above it. Carmot MMYM a commander in the AAnn Empire discovers the Vom and brings it to the planet Repler for study at a concealed AAnn base.

Lieutenants Kitten “Kitty” Kai-sung, a female human, and Porsupah, a male Tolian, of the Intelligence Arm of the United Church have been sent to Repler to investigate the newly re-established trade in the drug bloodhype (aka jaster, silly salt, brain-up, phinto) as the most deadly and addictive drug in and outside the Humanx Commonwealth. Once on Repler they make contact with the drug trader Dominick Rose who are using Captain Malcolm Hammurabi and his ship, the Umbra, as unwitting transporters of bloodhype.

This trio tracks Rose to his base where they encounter Flinx, currently in Rose’s employ, who helps them escape when Rose’s men capture the agents. After reporting Rose’s activities to the United Church, Rose escapes to the AAnn base right before the AAnn lose control of the Vom. Meanwhile, the agents have enlisted the help of Rose’s brother who has discovered the Tar-Aiym Guardian and his machine now orbiting above Repler. With the assistance of Flinx’s psychic abilities the Guardian prepares to fight the Vom again, while Kitty, Porsupah, and Mal prepare a raid on the AAnn base to capture Rose. The Vom escapes and the Guardian is forced to fight it in a psychic battle, but is slowly losing until Kitty and Mal manage to recover Rose’s supply of bloodhype and use it to poison the Vom. Now weakened, the Vom succumbs to the Tar-Aiym Guardian.

After the battle the Guardian self-destructs, Flinx leaves Repler on his ship Teacher, Porsupah gets drunk, while Mal and Kitty start a romantic relationship.

Veil of Maya

Veil of Maya is an American deathcore band, formed in Chicago, Illinois by members Marc Okubo and Sam Applebaum in 2004. The group is currently signed to Sumerian Records and has released five full-length studio albums. They are considered to use elements of djent. The name of the band is derived from a song of the same name released by Cynic in 1993. The band originally employed multiple guitar players, but since 2007 Okubo has been the sole guitarist.

History

Formation and demo (2004–2006)

Veil of Maya formed in 2004 in Chicago, Illinois after melodic death metal band Insurrection broke up, which led members Marc Okubo (lead guitar), Sam Applebaum (drums) and Kris Higler (bassist) to start up the new project. Guitarist Timothy Marshall and vocalist Adam Clemans joined shortly thereafter.

After recording a self-released demo in 2005, guitarist Scott Okarma briefly joined the group, participating in local shows and early touring. At this point, Veil of Maya were a six-piece band with three guitarists, but this only lasted for a few months before both Marshall and Okarma left the band. Bryan Ruppell replaced them both on rhythm guitar thus reverting their lineup back to five members.

  • Volt/Ohm Meter, another name for a multimeter
  • Voice of the Martyrs, a group of Christian organizations devoted to raising awareness of persecutions of Christians around the world
  • VOM (punk rock band)

  • Bossanova

    Bossanova is the third studio album by the American rock band Pixies. It was released in August 13, 1990 on the English independent record label 4AD in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. All of Bossanova's original material was written by the band's frontman Black Francis; this was a first for a Pixies album, but he has written all of their songs since. The album's sound, inspired by surf rock and space rock, complements its lyrical focus on outer space, which references subjects such as aliens and unidentified flying objects.

    Because of 4AD's independent status, major label Elektra Records handled distribution in the United States; Bossanova reached number 70 on the Billboard 200. The album peaked at number three in the UK Albums Chart. Two singles were released from Bossanova, "Velouria" and "Dig for Fire"; both charted on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, at #4 and #11, respectively.

    Background and recording

    After Pixies finished touring obligations for their second album Doolittle (1989) in January 1990, band members Black Francis, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering moved from Boston to Los Angeles. Bassist Kim Deal meanwhile stayed in the UK to record the first Breeders album during January with producer Steve Albini. Deal ultimately decided to travel out to Los Angeles with the rest of the group. Lovering stated that he, Santiago, and Black Francis moved to Los Angeles because that's where they intended to record. The three band members lived in the Oakwood apartments, along with comic Garrett Morris and members of the band White Lion. Producer Gil Norton also moved into the apartment complex.

    Bossanova (band)

    Bossanova is a Canadian musical group formed in Vancouver in 1997. The principal member is guitarist/vocalist Chris Storrow. The group currently has released one 7 inch, one EP, one LP, and has contributed to several compilations.

    Vom Selben Stern

    by: Ich Und Ich

    Do do, do do, do do, do do...
    Steh auf, zieh dich an
    Jetzt sind andre Geister dran
    Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
    Fenster auf, Musik ganz laut
    Das letzte Eis ist aufgetaut
    Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
    Wir alle sind aus Sternenstaub
    In unseren Augen warmer Glanz
    Wir sind noch immer nicht zerbrochen, wir sind ganz
    Du bist vom selben Stern
    Ich kann deinen Herzschlag hör'n
    Du bist vom selben Stern
    Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
    Weil dich die gleiche Stimme lenkt
    Und du am gleichen Faden hängst
    Weil du das Selbe denkst
    Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
    Tanz durch dein Zimmer, heb mal ab
    Tanz durch die Strassen
    Tanz durch die Stadt
    Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
    Lass uns zusammen uns're Bahnen zieh'n
    Wir fliegen heute noch über Berlin
    Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
    Wir alle sind aus Sternenstaub
    In unseren Augen warmer Glanz
    Wir sind noch immer nicht zerbrochen, wir sind ganz
    Du bist vom selben Stern
    Ich kann deinen Herzschlag hör'n
    Du bist vom selben Stern
    Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
    Weil dich die gleiche Stimme lenkt
    Und du am gleichen Faden hängst
    Weil du das Selbe denkst
    Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
    Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
    Du bist vom selben Stern
    Ich kann deinen Herzschlag hör'n
    Du bist vom selben Stern
    Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
    Weil dich die gleiche Stimme lenkt
    Und du am gleichen Faden hängst
    Weil du das Selbe denkst
    Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich - wie ich)
