Roger Dean (born David Roger Bryan Dean; 16 March 1943 in Hendon, Middlesex – 3 August 2008) was a British guitar player and teacher.
 First took piano lessons at age 7, then guitar at age 10.
 Then had musical training at Eric Guilder guitar school in London with teacher Ivor Mairants.
 His professional career ran over 40 years until he retired following a car crash in 2004.
 During the 1960s he played in a number of bands which left few traces in the history of popular music.
 The notable exception occurred when he joined briefly John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
 Dean's guitar is heard on Mayall's first album and single.
 Leaving Mayall, he went to work with his former band the Nu Notes.
 In 1971, he played with a band called Spike Island and recorded an album with them, a mixture of folk, country and world music.
 Later, as a member of various other bands like The Bluejays, P. P. Arnold's backing band and The Bad Boys, he recorded on some hits, but gradually turned to more anonymous work as a session musician playing for TV shows, backing stars and other lucrative jobs, such as cruises on the QE2 as guitarist with The Joe Loss Orchestra.
 In 1978, Dean became the first western musician allowed to play on electric guitar in China.
 From 1992 he held teaching posts at various British schools.
 After a serious illness, Dean died in 2008.
The TEC-1 is a single-board kit computer first produced by the Australian hobbyist electronics magazine Talking Electronics in the early 1980s.
 It was based on the Zilog Z80 CPU, had 2K of RAM and 2K of ROM in a default configuration.
 Later versions used a 4k ROM with two different versions of the monitor software selectable via a switch.
 This allowed the early software presented in the magazine to be used with the later version of the TEC-1.

 In 2001 Schwein released an album, "Schweinstein", followed by the remix album "Son of Schweinstein".

 The band consisted of vocalist Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce.
 Critics have called them the most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s."
 Q" magazine's Simon Goddard argued in 2007 that the Smiths were "the one truly vital voice of the '80s", "the most influential British guitar group of the decade" and the "first indie outsiders to achieve mainstream success on their own terms".
 The "NME" named the Smiths the "most influential artist ever" in a 2002 poll, over the Beatles.

 It was one of Mark Robinson's projects for what would eventually become the TeenBeat label, also created by Mark while in high school.
 Developing from an experimental approach of never playing the same song twice, earlier material seemed to be influenced by everything from punk to funk to Ennio Morricone.
 Original members Mark (guitar) and drummer Phil Krauth were joined by Bridget Cross on bass in 1990 and their sound evolved into a minimalist but lively kind of pop.
 The two full-length albums released with this line up, 1992's "Imperial f.f.r.r." and 1993's "Perfect Teeth" (distributed by the influential British label 4AD Records) featured finely crafted pop songs interspersed with strange avant-garde percussive and sonic tracks (sometimes featuring nothing but white noise, beeps or sirens).
 EPs released around the same time period reveal an even more pronounced gap between pop and experimental elements.
 The group broke up in 1994 with Phil pursuing a solo career and Mark and Bridget continued for a time as Air Miami, which released two singles and one album, "me me me".
 Since Air Miami's demise in the mid '90s, Mark has continued to release various solo projects, as well as albums with his bands Cotton Candy and Flin Flon, and continues to run the TeenBeat label as well.
