Daniel F. Desdunes (c.1870 – April 24, 1929) was a civil rights activist and musician in New Orleans and Omaha.
 In 1892, he volunteered to board a train car designated for whites in violation of the 1890 Separate Car Act to allow New Orleans civil rights activist involved in the Comité des Citoyens to challenge the law in the courts.
 The train he boarded was an inter-state train, and it was found the law did not apply in this case.
 Shortly later, another member of the Comité des Citoyens, Homer Plessy, boarded an intrastate train leading to the case, Plessy vs Ferguson.
 Desduens became a musician, directing bands, orchestras, and minstrel shows and playing many instruments, including the coronet, the violin, the baritone horn, and the trombone.
 He was known for many styles, including minstrel, ragtime, jazz, gospel, classical, and marching.
 He performed under the direction of Perry George Lowery in the P. T. Wright led Nashville Students and under Harry Prampin in Lash E. Gideon's Grand Afro American Mastodon Minstrels and Gideons Big Minstrel Carnival.
 In 1904 he moved to Omaha where his band became a fixture in civic life and he also led the Boys Town Band at Father Flanagan's Boys Town.
 He was described as the "father of negro musicians of Omaha" in Harrison J. Pinkett's 1937 manuscript, "An Historical Sketch of the Omaha Negro."
Tarantulas Records was a punk rock record label generally owned by the band The Explosion and run by their then manager Rama Mayo (and other members of bands involved in the label).
 It was officially established in 2002, as an art movement and a protest against record labels constantly signing bands that are merely rehashes of what has already been done before.
 Its mission statement is to "sign bands that go against what you believe to be cool."
 The most prominent and active bands amongst the Tarantulas (besides the Explosion) were The Distillers, The Bronx, The Static Age, and Darker My Love.
 At its height, Tarantulas became less a label and more a movement of people across the US sick of what was happening to music and counterculture—a number of non-musicians (for lack of a better term, fans) identified themselves as Tarantulas, many tattooing themselves with the label logo—and bands turned down other, much bigger labels, to be a part of the group.
 Unfortunately, the label/collective ceased to be in 2005/2006 due to disagreements with distributor The Platform Group (a link to Fontana) and other tensions (many rumors and myths persist about all sorts of clashes around this time, centering on 2005 in Silver Lake, LA), but a couple of the label's main bands at the time continued on to other labels and situations, namely The Static Age and Darker My Love.
Blackdiamondskye was a 2010 North American concert tour by American bands Alice in Chains, Mastodon, and Deftones.

 The tour kicked off on September 16 in Chicago and culminated on October 16 in Paradise, Nevada.
 The tour lasted for 19 shows over the course of one month and featured shows at both outdoor amphitheatres and indoor venues.

 Mastodon has released seven studio albums, as well as a number of other records.
 The band's debut album, "Remission", released in 2002, garnered significant critical acclaim for its unique sound.

 Three magazines awarded the record "Album of the Year" in 2004: "Revolver", "Kerrang!
" and "Terrorizer".
