The liuqin (Chinese: 柳琴 ,  "liǔqín") is a four-stringed Chinese mandolin with a pear-shaped body.
 It is small in size, almost a miniature copy of another Chinese plucked musical instrument, the "pipa".
 The range of its voice is much higher than the "pipa", and it has its own special place in Chinese music, whether in orchestral music or in solo pieces.
 This has been the result of a modernization in its usage in recent years, leading to a gradual elevation in status of the "liuqin" from an accompaniment instrument in folk Chinese opera, to an instrument well-appreciated for its unique tonal and acoustic qualities.
 The position of the instrument is lower than the pipa, being held diagonally like the Chinese ruan and yueqin.
 Like the ruan and unlike the pipa its strings are elevated by a bridge and the soundboard has two prominent soundholes.
 Finally, the instrument is played with a pick with similar technique to both ruan and yueqin, whereas the pipa is played with the fingers.
 Therefore, the liuqin is most commonly played and doubled by those with ruan and yueqin experience.
The following is a list of songs known to have been recorded by AC/DC.
 Since 1974 they have released 16 studio albums (14 available worldwide and 2 released only in Australia), 2 soundtrack albums, 4 live albums, 11 video albums, and 2 box set albums.
 Although a large number of AC/DC singles have been released, the band always refused to release any greatest hits type packages; "Who Made Who" (which served as the soundtrack to Stephen King's "Maximum Overdrive"), "Iron Man 2", and the band's various live recordings are as close as the group have come to such a compilation.
 AC/DC albums are available to download from Verizon, but for several years the band refused to release their albums on iTunes, as iTunes normally allows downloading of individual tracks; AC/DC publicly stated, "Our ... reason is that we honestly believe the songs on any of our albums belong together.
 If we were on iTunes, we know a certain percentage of people would only download two or three songs from the album – and we don't think that represents us musically."
 However, the band finally released their entire discography to iTunes in November 2012.
 Finally, they also released their music to Spotify in June 2015, though they previously refused to do so.
Stereotype also known as "Stereotype: Steel & Velvet" is singer B.Slade's 5th album.
 While still using the stage name Tonéx, the artist stated in an interview, that the name "Stereotype" is a metaphor for the dual nature in humanity (i.e. stereo, left and right).
 The album was originally to be released on Verity/Jive Records on September 11, 2007.
 One single "Joy" (which was later put on Tonéx's Battery Records album "Unspoken") had been serviced to radio under the auspices of Verity in May 2007.
 Disagreements later led to a dissolution of the association between Tonéx and Zomba Label Group, shelving its major release.
 As a result, in October the artist opted to share the music for a couple of weeks as a free, listen-only album on his MySpace page as a thank you to fans.
 A collector's edition of "Stereotype" was reworked with new tracks and finally released digitally under the B.Slade moniker on New Year's Day 2011.
 Many of the songs from the 2007 version were later dispersed to other Tonéx albums.
The Whole World Lit Up is the third studio album by Jewish rock band Blue Fringe.

Jesus Piece is the fifth studio album by American West Coast hip hop recording artist The Game, released on December 11, 2012, by DGC Records and Interscope Records, his last release on the label.
 Within a three-year gap between Game's third album, "LAX" (2008), and his follow-up, "The R.E.D. Album" (2011), before the latter was finally released in August 2011.
 The "R.E.D. Album" was a fall from his previous three released album sales, but became Game's third number one album on the US "Billboard" 200 chart.
 Shortly after the release of the long delayed album, Game announced he had begun work on his fifth studio album.
 The album was originally meant to be titled "Soundtrack to Chaos", then was changed to "F.I.V.E. (Fear is Victory's Evolution)" and finally "Jesus Piece" becoming Game's first concept album.
The Khim (Khmer: ឃឹម "Khum";Thai: ขิม, ];) is a stringed musical instrument that is from Persia, called Hammered Dulcimer or Cimbalon.
 This Khim was introduced to Cambodia, Laos and Thailand from China, where a similar (though, since the late 20th century, usually larger) instrument is called "yangqin".
 This instrument is also known as Santur in India.
 It is played with two flexible bamboo sticks with soft leather at the tips to produce a soft tone.
 This instrument can be played by either sitting down on the floor with the khim on the floor, or by sitting on a chair or standing while the Khim is on a stand.
 The khim produces a bright and expressive sound when played.
 It is made of wood, with brass strings that are laid across the instrument.
 The Australian-born musician and vocal artist Lisa Gerrard specialises in the use of a khim hammered dulcimer, featuring its music on several albums and performing with the instrument live on tour.
