What's Wrong with Angry?

What's Wrong with Angry? is a stage play written in 1992 by Patrick Wilde about a gay love story between two British schoolboys. The play was the basis for the 1998 Paramount Classics feature film Get Real.

History

What's Wrong with Angry? was Wilde's first play. It was written in an era of British history when the Age of Consent for homosexuals was 5 years older than heterosexuals, and legislation called Section 28 prohibited schools and local authorities from depicting homosexual relationships as an acceptable view of family life. The central characters – Steven Carter and John Westhead – were both still at school, and Wilde has pointed out that it is "quite crucial" that Carter is 16, as he wanted to draw attention to the fact Carter was breaking the law, whereas his heterosexual peers at school were not.

Productions

What's Wrong with Angry? first opened at the LOST Theatre in 1993 in Fulham, London, with an unpaid cast and crew of nearly 20, and an audience of only six. It wasn't until the gay press gave the show favourable reviews that audiences came in numbers, and the show sold out in the final week.

Wae Ireoni?

"Wae Ireoni" (Korean: 왜 이러니, "What's Wrong?") is a song by South Korean girl group T-ara. It was released as the lead single for their first extended play Temptastic (2010). The single is the group's first release to feature their newly added seventh member, Hwayoung. Written by label-mate Yangpa and produced by Kim Do-hoon and Lee Sang-ho, the song contains influences from 1980s synthpop and features the use of an electric guitar in the instrumental.

Music video

The music video for "Wae Ireoni" premiered on November 23, 2010, the same day as the single's release. The director of the video was Lee Dae-jin, while the choreography was done by YAMA&HOTCHICKS.

Synopsis

The video starts off with member Park Ji-yeon, walking towards a mirror while the chorus of "Wae Ireoni" can be heard playing in the background. "Wae Ireoni" begins to play and the members Park Hyo-min, Lee Qri, Park Soyeon and Jeon Boram can be seen walking up the stairs to where a party is being held, as they wave at someone off camera. Jiyeon is pushed and pulled by the whole group into the party, where they socialize and check out the scene. The video cuts to various shots of the gathering and the members gussying up in the powder room; applying makeup and singing to the mirror. One of the guests, presumably Jiyeon's love interest, is blindfolded for a game and then tossed around in the surrounding circle of people. Jiyeon is deliberately shoved into him by Ham Eun-jeong, and she is embarrassed as he takes off his blindfolds. The music video continues with shots of Jiyeon flirting with the guest, and people dancing as confetti is thrown into the air. The video ends with T-ara walking through the lobby of the building, arm in arm while cheerfully laughing with each other.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Pacific Ocean Blue is the only studio album by American musician Dennis Wilson, drummer and co-founder of the Beach Boys. When released in August 1977, it was warmly received critically, and noted for outselling the Beach Boys' contemporary efforts. Two singles were issued from the album, "River Song" and "You and I", which did not chart.

The album remains a focal point of Wilson's legacy, being referred to as a "lost classic." It has appeared on several "Best-of" lists including Robert Dimery's "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die," and Mojo's "Lost Albums You Must Own" and "70 of the Greatest Albums of the 70s" lists. In 2005, it was ranked #18 in GQ's "The 100 Coolest Albums in the World Right Now!" list.

Wilson intended to record a follow-up, entitled Bambu, but the album was left unfinished at the time of his death in December 1983.

Background and recording

After several attempts, starting in 1970, to realize his own project, some of which made it to the finished album, Wilson recorded the bulk of Pacific Ocean Blue in the months spanning the fall of 1976 to the following spring, at the Beach Boys' own Brother Studios. At the time of recording, Dennis' hard living had begun affecting his looks and more importantly his singing voice, which now delivered grainy and rough, yet still deeply soulful, vocals.
