Waiting or The Waiting may refer to:
Waiting is the debut album by the emo quintet Thursday. The album was produced by Sal Villanueva and released on Eyeball Records in 1999. The photography throughout the album's artwork, with the exception of live shots, was done by Tom Keeley's uncle, Dennis Keeley.
The song "Porcelain" is a tribute and call to action regarding suicide. Kevin, best friend to Geoff Rickly, had committed suicide soon after moving to San Francisco while suffering from Schizophrenia. At the time of his suicide, there wasn't a toll-free suicide hotline available in San Francisco that Kevin was aware of and he was unable to seek counseling at the time of his death. The song "Ian Curtis" was named after late lead singer of the UK group Joy Division. Another victim of suicide, Curtis hanged himself in his Macclesfield home in 1980. The song contains many Joy Division song references, most notably "Love Will Tear Us Apart".
The song "Dying in New Brunswick" was written by Geoff Rickly about his girlfriend who moved to New Brunswick and was raped while she was there. The lyrics are about how he hated the city for what happened and how he felt like he was dying whenever he was there.
Waiting is the second and final studio album by the Fun Boy Three. It was released in 1983 and featured the hit single "Our Lips Are Sealed," co-written by Terry Hall and previously performed by The Go-Go's.
Writer Robert Palmer called it one of the "summer's worthier record releases...that shouldn't be overlooked":
According to music critic Robert Christgau, "David Byrne's production suits songwriting that has advanced beyond the undernourishment of their breakaway debut."
All songs written by Fun Boy Three unless noted.
The version available from many download services, including iTunes, substitutes the 2:52 single mix of "Our Lips Are Sealed".
Agus may refer to:
Agustín García Íñiguez (born 3 May 1985), commonly known as Agus, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for American club Houston Dynamo mainly as a central defender.
Agus was born in Bonete, Province of Albacete. After appearing in seven La Liga games for eventually relegated Albacete Balompié in the 2004–05 season, he was bought by Real Madrid for €600.000 and immediately sent to its B-team.
As Castilla were relegated from the second division in 2006–07, Agus, alongside coach Míchel's son Adrián, were loaned to another club in that category, Celta de Vigo, with very different individual fates. The former returned to Real's reserves for the 2008–09 campaign: even though the side remained unbeaten until matchday 14, it eventually did not return to the second level.
In the subsequent summer Agus signed for three years with Córdoba CF, with his previous club holding 50% of his rights. In the following years, safe for one season in the Turkish Süper Lig with Orduspor, he continued competing in his country's division two, representing AD Alcorcón, RCD Mallorca and Albacete.
