Cast

Ride (The Vines song)

"Ride" was the second official single from The Vines' second album, Winning Days.

Written by Craig Nicholls.

This song was also featured on an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos in 2006 during a montage of motorcycle accidents and in the "Best Movie" montage at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards for nominee Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Music video

The "Ride" music video, directed by Michel Gondry, shows the band playing by themselves in a hall. When they get to the chorus, bands appear from everywhere, helping them sing and play.

Ride (Ciara song)

"Ride" is a song performed by American recording artist Ciara. The song features American rapper Ludacris. It was co-written by Ciara, Ludacris, Tricky Stewart, and The-Dream, and produced by the latter two. The song serves as the lead single from her fourth studio album, Basic Instinct. The song was first released for digital download on April 23, 2010. "Ride" is a down-tempo R&B song, featuring a heavy bass line and seductive tone.

The song received generally positive reviews from critics, complimenting the song's toned-down production. It reached three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in the United States, becoming Ciara's twelfth top ten hit on the chart. The accompanying music video features sexually charged, provocative choreography, and therefore was not aired on BET, and banned from UK music channels. The official remix features André 3000 and Bei Maejor in addition to Ludacris.

Background

Jive Records spoke exclusively to Rap Up magazine on March 29, 2010 to confirm that Ciara would be releasing a new song called "Ride" featuring Ludacris. It is the fourth time that the two artists have collaborated: the first being 2005's "Oh", second being 2009's "High Price" and the third being the 2010 remix to Ludacris' single "How Low".

Warm (Johnny Mathis album)

Warm is the third studio album by vocalist Johnny Mathis released in 1958 on the Columbia Records label, in stereo and monoaural. The album was issued in the UK by Fontana Records. Re-issued on CD by Columbia in 1998, paired with the 1958 album Swing Softly.

Overview

Lavishly produced and lushly orchestrated, it is a classic example of the typical Mathis album of the period with a deeply romantic style. The album is noteworthy as being the first of several Mathis albums with a one-word title. Subsequent to this release, Mathis would release further sets with a single word title such as Heavenly and Faithfully in 1959, Rapture in 1962, and Romantically in 1963. As with most of his albums in this period, the musical director was Percy Faith.

Eugenius Warming

Johannes Eugenius Bülow Warming (3 November 1841 – 2 April 1924), known as Eugen Warming, was a Danish botanist and a main founding figure of the scientific discipline of ecology. Warming wrote the first textbook (1895) on plant ecology, taught the first university course in ecology and gave the concept its meaning and content. “If one individual can be singled out to be honoured as the founder of ecology, Warming should gain precedence”.

Warming wrote a number of textbooks on botany, plant geography and ecology, which were translated to several languages and were immensely influential at their time and later. Most important were Plantesamfund and Haandbog i den systematiske Botanik.

Early life and family life

Warming was born on the small Wadden Sea island of Mandø as the only child of Jens Warming (1797–1844), parish minister, and Anna Marie von Bülow af Plüskow (1801–1863). After the early death of his father, he moved with his mother to her brother in Vejle in eastern Jutland.

WARM-FM

WARM-FM is an American adult contemporary radio station based in York, Pennsylvania broadcasting at 103.3 MHz FM. It is owned and operated by Cumulus Media. WARM's studios and offices are located off of US 30 between York and Lancaster, PA. Listeners in the Philadelphia region may have interference with WPRB, Princeton, New Jersey, which shares the same frequency.

History

WARM 103.3 hit Central Pennsylvania radio dials on March 28, 1983. The station spent its first few years using the WSBA callsign of its predecessor. The WARM callsign was moved to the station in 1988, having previously been used by Atlanta's Warm 99, also owned by Susquehanna Broadcasting, the stations' former owner.

The station has always broadcast some type of adult contemporary format from the time of its inception. From 1983 up until the mid-2000s, the playlist resembled a hybrid of "Soft AC", "Mainstream AC", and "Oldies": heavily focused on 1970s and certain 1960s soft rock songs, but containing plenty of recent and current soft rock hits as well. This hybrid format proved to be extremely successful, as WARM was repeatedly ranked at the #1 spot in the York market for several years, into the early 2000s.
