Context paragraphs:
Glyph (album): Glyph is an album released by Floater in May 1995.  Engineered and mixed by the Grammy-nominated Drew Canulette (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Neil Young).  "Glyph" received a preliminary Grammy nomination in the category of Best Alternative Performance.  The album was initially intended to be an EP featuring leftover songs that never made it onto the Sink album.  Some of the tracks, such as The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy, The Face of Order, and Dead, were previously recorded on the Sink demo tape prior to the release of the Sink album.  Later, though, additional tracks were added, blending the entire album into one complete, seamless audio experience.  The hit single is "The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy" which received national radio play on Z Rock stations.  The album is also the first time that Peter Cornett debuted a track featuring his vocals.  "Bottle" would not be his last either, as he again appeared on the Acoustics album.  Two versions of Glyph are known to exist.  The first press, which had a very limited release, has the same artwork as on both albums, but the fonts appear to be a white Arial, with "Floater" and "Glyph" on the cover, and no title on the disc.  The disc artwork matches the artwork found on the cover.  The inside tray also has the same artwork as the cover.  The fourth track "Silt" was renamed "Midnight Ride" when released on the second pressing, and was six seconds longer than "Midnight Ride".  The second press, which is the most common, has a yellow/gold font and shows an Egyptian hieroglyph which represents rejoicing, support, or exaltation, the same is on the disc art.  The inside tray art is different and has the glyph symbol with a different background than the original release.  Some of the earlier releases of the second press of Glyph also included a paper flyer (the same size as the cover) inserted with the disc promoting the previous album Sink.

Gina Birch: Gina Birch (born 1955) is an English musician and filmmaker, best known as a founding member of post-punk rock band, The Raincoats.

Lola (song): "Lola" is a song written by Ray Davies and performed by English rock band the Kinks on their album "Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One".  The song details a romantic encounter between a young man and a possible transvestite, whom he meets in a club in Soho, London.  In the song, the narrator describes his confusion towards a person named Lola who "walked like a woman and talked like a man".  Although Ray Davies claims that the incident was inspired by a true encounter experienced by the band's manager, alternate explanations for the song have been given by drummer Mick Avory.

A Tribute to Buzz Shearman: A Tribute to Buzz Shearman is a compilation/tribute album by the Canadian rock group Moxy in the band's original incarnation with Buzz Shearman, Earl Johnson, Buddy Caine, Bill Wade and Terry Juric.  The album is a tribute to Moxy vocalist Buzz Shearman (who died in a motorbike accident in 1983) from his wife Valerie.  She was an executive with the indie label Ahed Records Of Canada and released the album.  The album collects some of the band's best-known and three previously unreleased songs called "Trouble", "Eyeballs" and "Highway" with Shearman on vocals.  The back cover of the album features a nice testimonial from San Antonio's disc jockey known as the godfather of rock, Joe Anthony, who wrote : ""Buzz had that special quality in his voice that carried a smile and a lift.  He penetrated himself into the listeners and was very forceful with them.  He gave a definite impression to the music.  His passing was untimely, but he gave us so much in such a short span.  His music is his legacy"".  There are two distinct versions of the album cover one released in 1984 and the second released in 1994 on CD.

Hello Operator (song): "Hello Operator" is a song from "De Stijl", the second album by the Detroit, Michigan garage rock band The White Stripes and the first track from it to be released as a 7" single.

The Raincoats (album): The Raincoats is the debut studio album by English rock band the Raincoats.  It was released in 1979 on Rough Trade Records.

Kevin Matthews (radio personality): Kevin Menear (born March 12, 1956), known professionally as Kevin Matthews, is a Midwest United States radio personality, best known for his 12-year association with WLUP-FM "The Loop" and its one-time sister-station, WMVP "AM 1000."  Matthews became popular for his off-kilter take on various topics.  He's known for doing voices, including that of his irascible sidekick, sportscaster Jim Shorts.  One of his bits was encouraging his listeners to yell out "Free Bird!"  at various concerts, whether it was the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, or Barry Manilow.  One incidence of this was a heckler shouting "Free Bird!"  as well as the names of Matthews and Shorts at a Bill Hicks show, prompting Hicks' "Hitler had the right idea" rant.

All Through the Night (Cyndi Lauper song): "All Through the Night" is a song written and originally recorded in 1983 by American singer-songwriter Jules Shear, though it is best known for the hit single version recorded by Cyndi Lauper later that same year.  It is included on Lauper's debut album "She's So Unusual".  Shear wrote "All Through The Night" as a mid-tempo folk-rock song for his 1983 album "Watch Dog".  After the Cars recorded their own version, which they did not use on any of their albums, Lauper decided to cover it.  Although she initially intended to do a straight cover of Shear's version, she turned it into a pop ballad instead.

Gerry Joly: Gérald Joly (1934, Hawkesbury, Ontario – 29 December 2008, Gatineau, Quebec) was a Franco-Ontarian country music singer-songwriter.  Joly's career began in the late 1950s, giving small concerts in both English and French throughout Ontario.  In 1969 he wrote and composed "Mile After Mile", a song which featured on his first LP "Gerry Joly Duo - Live at the Belle Claire" (1970).  The song is best known through Orval Prophet's 1971 cover which topped the Canadian RPM country charts.  Joly also wrote a French version of the song and sang one chorus in French on the aforementioned LP but the French version was made famous by Willie Lamothe.  It has become a standard for French-speaking Canadian country musicians and has been recorded by well-known figures of this genre including Patrick Norman, Renée Martel and Paul Brunelle.  The song has also been performed by Celine Dion.  Joly wrote and sang for more than 50 years and is also remembered for his comedy songs.
