Released on Flipside fanzine Flipside Records , it is the first of four tracks on a 7 inch single that Beck shared with Bean, fronted by his friend, Steve Moramarco . Beck contributed MTV... and another song, To See That Woman of Mine , to the single. History According to an article in The Independent , Beck wrote the song in late 1992, at a time of great frustration in his life. To support his music, he took a job at a video store, and Beck felt no affinity with his fellow colleagues, who he believed were imitating a sitcom . Beck contrasts the public image of MTV , where everything s perfect and everything s bright , with the mundane lives of those who are sucked into believing what MTV sells, and with his own threadbare existence. A version of MTV... was released again as track four of four on the UK version of the Loser Beck song Loser single. This version commonly known as the lounge version is considerably different in style and direction Unlike the original, the lounge version breaks down into a piano solo, over which Beck exclaims, Fake it till you make it.

Old Ironsides is a poetry poem written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. , on September 16, 1830, as a tribute to the eighteenth century frigate USS Constitution . Thanks in part to the poem, she was saved from being decommissioned and is now the oldest commissioned ship in the world still afloat. Poem poem Ay, tear her tattered ensign down Long has it waved on high, And many an eye has danced to see That banner in the sky Beneath it rung the battle shout, And burst the cannon s roar The meteor of the ocean air Shall sweep the clouds no more. Her deck, once red with heroes blood, Where knelt the vanquished foe, When winds were hurrying o er the flood, And waves were white below, No more shall feel the victor s tread, Or know the conquered knee The harpies of the shore shall pluck The eagle of the sea Oh, better that her shattered hulk Should sink beneath the wave Her thunders shook the mighty deep, And there should be her grave Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail, And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale poem Background File USS Constitution downtown Boston 2005.jpg thumb USS Constitution in Boston, 2005 Old Ironsides was the nickname given to the 18th century frigate, USS Constitution during the War of 1812 after its USS Constitution vs HMS Guerriere naval battle with the HMS Guerriere 1806 6 .

It was first published in hardcover in London by Cassell and Company, Ltd. in May 1932, and was reprinted in 1934. The first United States American edition was issued under the title The Return of Kai Lung by Sheridan House in 1937. The fictional narrator of this novel never refers to himself by name, and it is not clear that he is Kai Lung, despite the American title. The final sentence of the novel perhaps gives the best indication quote Justice having thus been impartially weighed out and the fundamental equipoise suitably maintained, nothing remains for an admittedly tedious and obsolete describer of unvarnished facts but to roll up his threadbare mat once more, bow right and left with ingratiating submission, and not, perchance, without an inoffensive glance at his ill lined collecting bowl await your distinguished judgment. Elsewhere in the book, the narrator refers to writing his story, rather than telling it, and there is none of the interaction with listeners that marks the other Kai Lung stories. Regardless of the view one takes on this, the story is otherwise much in the style of the other tales, and takes place in a similarly fictionalized China. Unlike the others, it is a true novel rather than a string of short stories. The Queue hairstyle queue of the Mandarin burea ... more details
